yeah, maybe built a couple and make sure they are good. Then sample boxes for completeness. Also, they will eventually figure out the weight of a kit that has all of the parts. Why? instead of opening all of the boxes, if they all weight the same, then you can assume the are complete. I know TLR weights their for QC.

That's a marketing play -- but a good one. Tony's kits have 12.9 steel screws...it is truthful that they are stronger than 10.9 steel. However, 10.9 steel is plenty strong enough for all areas of our application IMO. My 1:1 Suburban has 10.9 steel screws in some key areas if that tells you anything.

8.8 steel (which I haven't seen in high end kits) is stronger than most stainless steels in both tensile and yield (a couple high end SS grades beat it) -- but 10.9 and above are stronger than any SS. RC kits generally include 10.9 hardware.

Sorry for the screw diversion -- back to anticipation around the B5 kits! Got mine on order!

how so besides the 4 round wheels and the blue anno?

- has has the front shocks front mounted, b5 rear mounted
- yok has pin and bearing wheels, b5 has front and rear hex
- Bmax rear mounts the rear shocks and the b5 front mounts the rear shocks.
- yok has ball cups and the b5 has captured ends
- yok uses c-hubs still, the b5 does not.


nope, sorry I dont see it.
