Just curious if anyone has ever put 5ive T arms, axles and upper links on a B? Seems like it would make it way more stable in turns.. ?
5ive T arms on a 5ive B?

It would kinda be like how an Outcast is. Same parts as a kraton but shorter chassis
Would probably be pretty fun tbh

Over here in the UK many who race the 5b do use the 5t arms on the 5b and even swap out the chassis to a 5t chassis!

Yes it can be done. Many have done it. Before the buggy people did it with the Chase C3.1 Chassis. It does increase stability but reduces the nimbleness of the buggy. I race with a few guys that like it and race with a few that don't. It really is personal prefference. You only need arms, dog bones, and camber links.

I know!!!!!!!
I have a mate who has done it with his 5b and I now refer to it as his 5t. He does not like me calling it that ?
When racing on Astro it is very very high grip. The 5b is too narrow and wants to grip roll as the 5b is naturally very nimble and has awesome steering, this then becomes its downfall on Astro from my limited experience. So I may go with 5t arms and drive shafts etc but I don’t think I will go as far as to use the 5t chassis as I’m just not that competitive and I don’t have the talent to be ?
A tad harsh ??
