The 22 3.0 is scary similar to the b5m. Like, a copycat you could almost call it.

In general shape maybe but the suspension geometry is extremely different.

I went all tlr cars recently because the latest gen of AE cars werent working out for me...

Maybe when they include the nice kashima shocks new springs, xrings, and less plastic ill reconsider. No matter what i do with it it just doesnt fit my driving style...

lol, I said the next car would probably have the updated shocks....and it does. Otherwise, pretty boring


lol, both flat and gulwing arms? both 2 pad and 3 pad slippers? And the coolaid front wing? Updated shock bodies, but crappy eclip shafts and pistons, meh. And a price tag of 325....so ae included more stuff and charged you for it all.....not hating, I think they could have done better on the shocks. ditch all the extra tuning parts and include the machined pistons and v2 shafts.

I think the new car is aimed at customers looking to switch over to the B5M platform after all of its recent success at Nationals and Worlds. It comes with all the upgrades and tuning options everyone would normally buy. While everyone argues you need nothing more than a box stock Team B5M, you REALLY do not need anything more with this new kit. I don't think its for existing owners (like us) as we have all those goodies already. More for people looking to switch to the brand.

Yeah i know. I think new owners would rather have machined pistons, v2 shafts and xrings over both gear boxes, slippers and front arms.

It is sort of ho-hum but actually you're getting a ton of stuff for $40 or $50 more. Not bad but not a game changer or anything AE should be bragging about.

After a couple of months of kicking tires, I guess this new car has my mind made up. Yep I'm getting one! With all the goodies its a good investment! Plus side I still have my crate of buggy tires!

It would have been more impressive if Associated released a new 4wd car today.
