I prefer not to do that, but my rs gen2 and viper are small footprints, so I am crossing my fingers. Does not mater either way. I will be buying one of these. The car looks very good. If it has tlr22/rb6 handling and durability, I am sold

If this thing handles like a 22 I'm staying with my 4.2. I had a DECKED OUT 22 and no matter what I did it didn't drive as good as a 4.2 so I traded it.

its a preference thing. The b4 was too twitchy for me, I need to be able to calm it down and keep a better front and rear traction. When ever I calmed down the b4, I lost massive steering. I would prefer it handle more like an rb6, because it was sooooo balanced for me. Anyway, I wont know until i spend some time with the new car. But it end up being twitchy, I will have to sell it.

To me its sounds like the b5 is going to handle just like the b4 just more refined and adjustable . That's fine with be cuz I love my b4.2 just hate how sloppy it gets over time.

Interesting read. The jumping and landing improvements should be nice. Interesting that they may only do a mm to rm conversion.

so if it uses 2 allen keys and 2 nut drivers? what do i need i have 1.5mm 2.0 and 2.5 in my car?

1.5 and 2mm and 5.5mm and 7mm nut drivers. You will also need the allen for the pinion, but that is not specially a b5 part...

Very interesting to see how few parts are shared from the B4.2 to the B5, not that surprising, just interesting. I also found his comments towards the gull wing arms versus strait.
