I we the B5M CE is 20% off today only on rc10.com !

Really think I need to buy it, not sure they will sell to outside the US though?

Rivkin's B5M has a few changes at IFMAR 2015. Different gearbox and shock position at the rear with new front hinge pin setup

Thank you so much. I have a Dynam SuperMate DC6 Double Power Li-Po Charger/Balancer. It works pretty well when I was into Helis. I got out of the Heli business because every major crash cost me a bag of money.

You don't say? Must have went unnoticed

In relation to my previous question regarding the possible update/change of model in 2016 for the B5M. My comments were that there were changes hence the question of if those who know thought they would be doing a new model....I don't want to get the CE and then they bring out a revision in 2 months time....thanks

"If" there is a "new" car my guess is 4-6 months from now. But....it wont be anything magical or just. Just a reboxing of the current parts available.

INSANE.

The CE for $259 shipped is crazy. They've completely undercut all of their resellers with that. Damn.

Remember they haven't updated the RTR's yet maybe that will be the next step there is still a lot good about the B5M LT they don't really need a change we love these out of the box, we upgrade for the OCD in all of us.

yeah, I am really surprised about the lack of the B5 series RTR. I really thought the RM car would go that route. The alum suspension holders are nice. They remove the play front to back in the rear arms. and again the shock upgrades would be nice. I do not see them doing much more than that

b5 rtrs will come out once the 4 series cars inventory is gone is what my LHS was told. Once that happens I look for them to release the RTRs for all 3 platforms as well as FT kits for all 3 cars(b5m,t5m,sc5m). But I would look for a new 4wd platform before anything

Whats a better choice for stock class. Lite or CE. Track is indoor clay.

Wouldn't see why you just wouldn't get the CE period. Options for arms, tannys, slippers. Also getting the good shocks with it. And you are only spending another $50. The extra parts alone are about $90 by them selves...

If you are worried about the chassis that much, do what I did and get one off E-bay for $40 to go along with your CE kit

I got it for the flex more than for its lighter weight as the tracks I run at are more medium bite covered in dust and sand than anything.

the CE is cheaper and comes with more stuff...

Order the CE from AE website, and a lite chassis.

AE could fix the front bumper hinge pin getting rubbed down and scrupping speed. I tried the exotek and it still scrapes. Have to take it all the way off and cut hinge pins but don't want to bother with machine shop. Anybody try the mod or have an outlet?

I got the lite chassis on B5m, now getting CE and will keep lite chassis for back up if needed. I never ran both chassis back to back to really get the difference in feel.

Machine shop? Just use a cutoff wheel in a dremel and boom, done in 2 minutes.
