I doubt it will be the exact same car. Since it's a really "track specific" configuration.
It wil probably be more like the "B-drivers cars"
http://events.redrc.net/2015/10/new-...orkshop-jtprc/
- lowered shocktower
- different hubs
- maybe some steering parts
and maybe someday a LG transmission with a forward shock option.
But as explained by others earlier you can already order a LG 3- or 4-gear transmission form RedWorkShop.

here are some screens of the worlds winning 2wd courtesy of redworkshop
ae made a smart move working with him to make these new parts. redworkshop is now offering the worlds lowrider kit for sale. pm him on facebook if your interested.
personally im thinking of making my old b5m a dedicated carpet/turf car (we really dont have any of those surfaces here though). i have no other use for it and i like messing with stuff

This is the back of Rivkin's buggy. Shock tower re-positioned to be front of A-Arms. Not sure how transmission connects.
BT and Kody said they used the Reds Work Shop setup at warmup, but made some changes to it and built their own.
You can not buy the setup Rivkin, Cav and Kody were running.
Wonder what the lowered shocks were for... up travel limiting to prevent traction rolling? Certainly not additional down travel, right? Wouldn't that be about the worst thing ever on that surface? While I won't be racing on this surface any time soon, I'm definitely interested in the setups they used.
EDIT: Figured out why they lowered the shocks down: The rear hubs mount the arm lower in relation to the axle so the shocks need to be moved down to allow the wheel to retain similar down travel as before.

Probably close to our carpet setup state side. 1.6/1.7 35/30wt. Blue springs all the way around.
Actually know Spencer was running orange/blue

all according to red. as far as we know the only difference between the two is the new carbon rear tower with the shocks on front of the arms

These modified B5Ms were only done for a Rivkin, Cav, Cragg, Hartson, McBride, and Kody. However, other non-salary team members ran a Reds setup.
Like I said - they did NOT use the Red's setup at worlds - they used the red's for testing, then made their own.

sorry for the misleading writing in my og post but i meant to say it was reds version of the worlds 2wd. he made changes to the gearbox and hubs that are pretty cool and add a lot of adjustment. idk what geometry changes ae made for the top guys's cars but they certainly worked.

Currently running a B5M Lite with Rivkins OC/RC jconcepts stock nas setup, don't feel like im getting the amount of mid-corner steering I should. Any ideas on what to change from that particular setup to make it more aggressive mid corner?

I thought I read somewhere buried in Red RC's coverage that the "salary/Factory" Associated guys were running prototype pre-production Associated made gear boxes, hence the forward mounting shock tower off a B44. So they were custom made by the team, and they might eventually release them as an option part is what I understood.
Everyone else at the worlds driving an Associated branded car used the Reds setup posted above, but not the Factory drivers. The two setups are vastly different.
