Team Associated B5M Drag Build | RC Drag Car Build
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 вер 2024
- Well I've been bitten by the drag racing bug again. I wanted to build another drag car but didn't want to do a Traxxas Slash based build. I wanted something a little more unique, a challenge. I saw a post on Instagram of a Losi 22 buggy turned drag car and it made me start thinking of other chassis that I could build off of. I ran across a Team Associated B5M and just couldn't pass it up! I'm excited to work on this build and get it out to make some passes soon. I hope you enjoy and follow along with me!

I missed this part. 😀
Should've just used the stadium truck shock towers that already has the body post, or use a stadium truck roller kit would've been ideal for it, rear motor.
Ideally, yes. I bought the B5M on Ebay though, as a complete car minus the transmitter. It was a deal I couldn't pass up, so I had to swap out the chassis and a few other components. While the stadium truck shock towers would've been better, that was one place that I could save money by just keeping the buggy towers.
@@FullThrottleRC I have all these roller kits from TLR 22 and up and I decided to build a drag car and using the exotek carbon chassis on rear motor.
FINALLY! Someone else built a mid-motor! I'm running the same setup (started with an SC5M and put buggy arms and shock towers on it). To lower the front of the body, I used the truck mount like you did, but I trimmed it more and flipped it upside down. It worked great, and you can drop the front of the body without squashing the shocks all the way down. I think the AE chassis is a better platform than a Slash, and the mid-motor setup can handle more power. I am currently undefeated in Eastern Oregon running a Tekin RSX esc and a Trinity Monster Horsepower 3.5t motor...
Sweet man! What tires are you running? I'm trying a bunch of different tires and have trouble getting traction on a non prepped surface.
What are you using for a wheelie bar on your setup?

Question,
What part number are the bead lock wheels in back and primes tires.
Thanks
Wheels are PRO2713-15
Tires are PRO8247-03
Thank you very much for that info sir
Very nice build. I’m doing the same thing.
Thank you!
Metalic Purple, Matte Black, Matte Grey
That would make a sweet combo!
Awsome roller youv built...I like the idea about the chassis swap...also..it must handle better on a drag run.
Yep the length helps with stability. It's also perfect for just about all of the bodies that are being produced for the Street Eliminator cars
Associated took your concept and ran with the ball, they just finished dropping the team, associated d r 10 no prep drag I'm giving you the credit for it since you came out with it first, first come first serve 👍🏻🔥😎🔥💪🏻
Hahahaha thanks! I'm pretty sure I know what they did but I'd like to get my hands on one to compare it to my build!
@@FullThrottleRC I would like to see that video 👍🏻🔥😎🔥💪🏻
@@driftcraze2138 If I get a chance to get one I'll definitely make a video on it.
Light blue
Looks like it's going to be a fantastic build. But i would like to know where do you get your drag wheely bar from or do you make them?
Thanks! The wheelie bar is from RC Racing Innovations. It's the slash style wheelie bar mounted using a mount printed from Shapeways. Be sure to check out the rest of the build series on my channel to see the complete car and some running videos!
Nice start to a drag car.i have recently been thinking about getting one of these cause I have built a ton of drag slash's and am kinda tired of doing slash cars and I like the look of the team associated mid motor set-up. After seeing this video IAM really wanting to build one of these team associated cars.
Thanks! I looked around at few different options from Team Associated to Losi. I wanted to stay away from doing a Slash cause that's what everyone had. Had to do something different, 😋
@@FullThrottleRC right on.i have noticed lately that alot of the drag car builders are quick to jump on the trend train.soon as someone posts a real nice build than all of a sudden about a week later ya start seeing clones or copies of stuff that was popular or got the most likes. Sad but true. I build my stuff to race and have fun with not to get the most likes in my Facebook group. Anyway I'm rambling.im definitely getting me one of these.look like a great new platform for some drag car builds cause I'm getting worn out on building slash's.still love'em just gonna build something different for awhile.
I have a B5m and the SC5m. I guess the SC5m would be the better to use to convert to a drag car?
On the SC5M you'd have to replace the control arms as well as the driveshafts, while on the B5M you'd have to replace the main chassis plate. Whatever you have parts for and you think is easier, either way will work.
@@FullThrottleRC Sounds like a little kit bashing is in my future. Thanks for the info!
I'm not sure if it will work for the b5m, but hot racing has a metal differential for the b6.1/b6.1d.
Is it the aluminum one? That's what I'm currently running
Hey dude I keep trying to find the bottom part where is the best part to find it
Not sure what you mean by the bottom part. If you are talking about the chassis plate, they are really hard to find since they aren't being made anymore.
Can’t find the center tray. What part number is it?
The chassis cradle is 71027
Good Built i Make The Same thx Manuel from Austria
Thanks!
Nice looking build
Thank you! I'm really excited to lay down some passes
You have to be from Louisiana
Bingo!👍
I know this is a old video but where did you find the short course chassis plate? And do you recommend part number? I have a B5M and want to turn it into a no prep car. Thanks
I was able to get it on AMainHobbies but from what I understand they are hard to find now. They aren't making them anymore so you'll have to be lucky to find one.
@@FullThrottleRC Thanks yeah they are hard to find.
Where did u find then wheels n tires ?
These are pretty hard to find now. They are Proline Titus beadlocks and 2.2 Prime truck tires. I got away from them for many reasons and one of them was how hard they are to find.
Hi brow what is better for Drag Race A Gear diff or a Ball diff thx Manuel
I don't have any experience with a ball diff so I'll have to say a gear diff. You're going to want use as thick of oil as possible. Mine is actually locked
Man I only have one word for this video. " Subscribed "!
Thank You!!!
Hi What Front Wheel do have and what Part Numper thx Manuel
The front wheels are proline Pomona and I'm currently running the Jconcepts hotties front tires
What body posts did you use??
What model number for these Beadlocks rear wheels ?
The original Titus beadlocks are 2713-15 but they are discontinued unfortunately. I started using Faultlines but they are discontinued as well. There is a new Faultline wheel that they still make but the ring is a little different. Part number 2756-15
Body mount part number?
I'm using the DB10 mounts now. The DR10 mounts are probably best.
I have a brand new B5M buggy that my friend built and gave to me and I want to convert it to a drag car but I'm having a little trouble finding the SC5M chassis. Do you know of an aftermarket one I could get? I'm a little concerned with parts availability since I haven't been able to find the chassis, will this be a problem? I'm considering selling it to go with a slash platform but I'm sure the team associated is lighter and I like the mid motor configuration for drag racing! Any suggestions or recommendations would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for great video!
I didn't have any trouble finding the SC5M chassis. I was able to find it on ebay as well as AMainHobbies if I remember correctly. Parts haven't been hard to find the one or two times I've needed something. Thanks for the support!
AMainHobbies is out of them in store and discontinued online and I only saw one on Ebay and it's in Australia and it's over $100. What worries me is if I go forward with the build and then the chassis gets damaged and I can't find a replacement. Do you know of any aftermarket options? Anyways, thanks again!
@@krisjato I have seen a carbon fiber option but it a bit pricey. I'm can't confirm it but I think the SC6.1 chassis could be used instead. Maybe contact Associated and see if it's compatible.
Thank you so much!
Hey man see the new build looks like it's gonna be awesome. I was wondering by any chance if you could help me on this I received that same motor that you got from Trinity whole shot I also picked up a 1:50 Amp ESC I am just not sure where I'm the motor ABC Wire goes to I also picked up 12 gauge Wire for everything. Kind of looks like different ways to hook it up nothing like a castle creation which I love but wanted to step it up just a little bit higher Hey man I really preciate all the help and everything hope the build comes out well shoot you a video and the Nova I just finished up thanks again Jason
The ESC should also be labeled with ABC or maybe 1,2,3. You can wire it according to that.
I want to do the same with my B5m
I've had good luck with it so far. I hope my build series helps you out if you decide to make the conversion!
@@FullThrottleRC yes I hope to try it thanks
Question where can i get parts online?? Chassis, suspension, electrical. I need everything
Just about any RC website. I normally use RPPHobby or AMain, ebay and Amazon.
OK I have the same B5M build going on and I have one question, where did you get the SC5M chassis at ? I can get everything else but that. Any help would be awesome.
I was able to find the chassis on AMain but that was almost a year ago, it seems they are getting hard to find.
@@FullThrottleRC Thanks
@@FullThrottleRC By the looks of it you might of got the last one ... but not giving up, really like your car
@@FullThrottleRC oh one more thing ... what brand and where did you get the wheelie bar?
My original wheelie bar came from rc racing innovations
NICE your money your build.
What are you using for a wheelie bar?
Joe built one for him
@@fuckngreat8955 when did he build it ?
@@platinumtyrannosaurus5517 joe built it a month ago
The full name is joe mama
U should do a chevelle drag car
Been thinking about checking out the new proline nova
'
i have a nice R/C tamtrax car...
i put half tamiya and half traxxas in a car...
already video
Are those sc5m body posts?
Yep, they are!
FullThrottleRC what else do you need for the conversion
@@davidperezz7248 It depends what you are converting from. If you are converting from a B5M, you can follow the video to see what I used. If you are using a SC5M, you would need B5M suspension components the narrow the width.
FullThrottleRC thanks man I have a b5m I guess the same shock tower will work
@@davidperezz7248 Yep!
🔥

What shock oil and springs are you using on it?
The stock springs for now. 10wt oil all around.
@@FullThrottleRC K. I'm looking at getting a b6.1 to build a drag car with. Just trying to find out who has the metal idler gears for it. With the laydown stealth transmission. I also liked the paint scheme that you did on the corvette body. I am looking at getting one to and do a acdelco paint schemes for it
@@andrewwhite2863I have the 3 gear transmission. I was able to find a steel idler gear from Robinson racing and the aluminum diff from hot racing. They're both holding up well so far.
Paint it Black
Its painted now. Its a little more than black though... Check out the video on my channel
lets turn 500 dollars into 50 dollars
Ads are freaking annoying 🤬🤬😡😡
Ads help me get a little something back, even if its not much, for all the work I put into creating these videos. They are all throughout UA-cam to help support creators.
@@FullThrottleRC Dang it, got it.
That voice is a bit annoying after a while
Thanks for the feedback!
Cool built, but you talk funny and it's distracting.
Thanks!
Hi brow what Body Mound do You have from what car thx Manuel
I'm running a DB10 mount
