Actually, it is an option!

I know of a few drivers that have a big race next week that will receive their b5 but will run the c4 instead for the last time. Once we have the b5 and run it, we can't go back.

Hey, we did something new last night.

I have a set of bar codes mounted on the new AKA rims..

AWwww yeah.. Dialed!

Should be easier to re-glue... although since your track eats tires so fast I would guess you don't have that problem. Our tires last half a season so we are constantly having to reglue the bead.

actually the traction makes the glue give up grip on the rims even more..
Inserts wear is higher as well.

Tip: don't toss those used up Aka inserts .
You are going to reuse one more time.

Durango certainly needs to address their plastics and their composition, but what makes it even worse is the lack of parts availability. I've been waiting to order steering knuckle spacers for 2 months now. The v4 uses the exact same part but it's not available as a stand alone part. With no LHS supporting durango it makes you question owning one of their cars.

Associated and TLR are stocked pretty much everywhere worldwide and that makes all the difference. Can't wait to hear reviews on these new B5's!!!

Let's see some Lidz!!!!!

Boom goes the danomite. The first seller better really have it in stock and ship as fast as the page says they will (today if I paid in the next hour). Ordered with delivery between Feb 1 (tomorrow...wow that'd be awesome) and Feb 4th. Some of their bad feedback says it takes them a long time to ship so I hope I don't run into that.

Can't wait.

So log into your account, cancel the order and place it again using the coupon code OR, call and complain. They're usually very good about helping the customer out.

You cancel your order and your back in line. I called this morning and they would not honor the discount code on the order already placed without canceling it. I'll pay the extra to have my kit tomorrow. They were cool about it and gave me the option

I hear ya. I have my 4.2 pretty dialed now so I can wait for the next wave and have codes in hand. This damn hobby is expensive enough as it is.

Does anyone use the Avid thrust bearings? I am thinking about building the kit with them from the start. The kits balls are just steel anyway, not carbide or ceramic. speaking of which, are you using the ceramic or carbide thrust bearing with the carbide diff balls.
