Since the actual B5 gullwing arms don't have the right geometry for the flat B5 shock tower, and vice versa, I'm guessing the B4 ones aren't going to work out. It might fit and work, but suspension travel will likely suffer. Guess we all won't know because you'd lose 20 seconds of your life to find out!

Using the flat tower with the b4 arms is 100% correct.

Are there any specific tuning tips anyone can give me for the mid motor chassis? Are there any adjustments that are made on a rear motor that do one thing but when done to a mid do something else?

I have a Novak Pulse in my B5. I had to get the new triple cap so it would fit. I also used an Airtronics 461 receiver.

Looks like Amain has gotten in more of those pan car shaped 2S packs. Better order quick to beat the rush!

Thanks. Did they close the La Puente shop and relocate to Baldwin Park ?

I have a local buddy that has the part for me, just have been having trouble linking up with him.

Thankfully I got an inside tip today that led me to a shop that had not only the HARD version of the steering blocks I needed, but also the standard B5 rear motor arms. They apparently lock the car in even further. My items already shipped!
