Honestly...without an engineering degree and being in on those discussions you have no idea what they learned, and how they planned to take the B5m to the next level. You need to understand that the B5m was AE's first mid motor 2wd...so they are still learning themselves how to make it better.

I actually like the B6 and B6D. Its got carbon fiber shock towers.

I beat mid motor cars all the time on our big low grip outdoor track with my B5R. In fact, many times they seem confused, disappointed, surprised, upset, etc. when it happens. No matter what I did to my B5M it never felt as comfortable and easy to drive as the B5R on very-low to low grip. People are too quick to dismiss it and try to force the mid motor to work. In fact, rather than giving up on it, I wish AE would continue to evolve it also. Such as giving it the front end, shorter rear shock bodies / lower tower, and improved "C" and "D" inserts, cool new body, same as the B6D. Maybe it would drive even better (but give me 3mm trail pretty please). Won't happen, but hey I can dream...

This is why I laugh at the FT car questions.....
The car comes with:
CF front and rear towers
Alum rear ball stud mount
Lightened Outdrives (B6D)
Alum front axles
Alum rear Hexes
Alum C mount (rear suspension)
They will never offer a car with every FT part, never never never never. But they are giving us a lot for a great price.

as long as people are will to pay $$$$ top dollar to pick up a few seconds
racing toy cars. companies will keep re-engineering about 5% of there lastest car
every 6 months to keep the junkies coming back for more.
funny thing is with most people it's not the cars not performing it's there need
of more skill driving it.

Reds Work Shop lay down trans
I am looking at a Reds Work Shop lay down trans that's for sale and I cant find any information on it. Has any one ran one or been around them and have any information or opinions about them. I am wanting to put it in a b5m for a local carpet track

I think the B5R is not going to get discontinued and will be the RTR and rear motor car like stated above for those super low grip tracks. B5m gone, now the B6.
I am going to keep my B5m and get the B6 and see what is faster for me.
I am going to use a few goodies from my B5M.
