Very few will be shared if any besides the shocks

I personally think 4 gear mm is noticeably more difficult to drive than 3 gear rear or mid motor due to the added gyro effect from the motor rotating the same direction as the wheels. However due to the improved weight balance of mm I believe it to have more total potential in the right hands which means a good driver could be faster. This is probably what he is referring to.

Although the original big bore shocks well fit, B5 shocks are nearly all new.

Associated has finally added a date to their site for the b5m, about as official as it gets but contradicts the rc box.com interview

In fact, there might not be one that will work aside from the little alum t handled one.
How about the RDRP Ultra Multi Wrench?
