I'd love to see a B5 Nanofox! The PL Phantom will be just as good for me, though.

I am the EXACT opposite. I REALLY don't like the cab forward design in general. I very much prefer the old school cab back designs. If FTW ever makes their blade body for the b5 I would be so all over that. http://www.avidrc.com/product/18/ftw...0022B-ftw.html
I also would love to have some spoked wheels for my buggy. Come on with the rulux with hexes JC!

I completely disagree with you. You've got it 100% backwards. Many of the old bodies are amazing looking. There isn't a cab forward body today that is worthy of the bottom of my shoe.

Cab forward is faster then old fashion & obsolete rear cab shells.

I really don't know what is getting worse, the argument between the JC and Lunsford Turnbuckles, the length of turnbuckles, or the love/hate of cab-forward bodies.... Come on guys

Uhm, yeah. That's totally NOT correct. LOL


Back to the B5 specifically, I'm interested to know how exactly this happened and more importantly, with the kit having just dropped (no pun intended), will associated replace this under warranty? I realize chassis can and do, over time, weaken and can break, but historically, it takes a great amount of punishment for one to break. This happening in the first weekend of running the car seems like the chassis was defective to begin with. e.i. bubble in the plastic or the chassis didn't endure the proper cooling time/cycle.
