General B5 Information
Shocks: The new shocks have been updated in a few different areas. The cap is now plastic but still has a bleeder screw for easy bleeding. The shock body now has a smoother surface finish to help reduce friction with the piston. New shock internal gland spacers are also included with help reduce friction and make for smoother shock operation. An updated e-clip has also been used to make the piston more secure.
Drivetrain: The CVA is now captured by the bearing so that the cva pin can not be lost during operation. To increase the life span of the outdrive and cva bone, the pin diameter has been made larger to increase contact area.
Front A-Arms: The decision to have straight arms on the B5 and gull wing arms on the B5M was made to better suit the performance demands of each car type. Both types of arms will fit both cars so this can be used as an additional tuning option if desired.

You're right, haven't been on the rug since the revision.
Still, less than 1/2 lb difference. Just a tick over 1/4lb actually.
Given the difference in grip and power I would believe that TC would be harder on out drives/pins than 2wd buggy in a relatively clean environment.

Alright guys, you want to know why gull-wing arms on the MM then here it goes:
Shock angle progressiveness. Arm shock mounts like the OG RC8 and the T4 produce a softer shock the more it is compressed, OTH the lower the shock mount relative to arm the harder the shock gets the more it is compressed. That's why the MM gets a "stiffer" front shock geometry by design than the RM variety.
