No doubt, the platform still wins A LOT, so no need to change. Still as great kit with all the upgrades in the box.

I look at it this way. AE is releasing the B4 with ALL of the current upgrades racers use. I mean what will you really need out of the box besides the right tires and shock oil. I have not seen the price yet, but it will probably be about the same price. Who else gives you their option parts for free (or really cheap)?

I "believe" that is a carbon rear A tower. Nice, I never liked the plastic ones.

Yep, I think it is great, no need to buy a whole new car but if you do you get all the cool new stuff.

I cant really get a good look at the towers to see the change. But in the pictures, they are not using the spacers on the top. Cant see the bottom.

It looks like the car will come with just rims. If you look at the 'whats required' it says tires for 2.2" wheels.

your right about the tires... I am on the fence with that one. I know they no one includes tires any longer and most people sell off the tires anyway.

LOL, the manual says the slipper spring is the b44 spring. I know some people on here used it and other thought the old one was fine. They even listened to the drivers on what sliper spring to use. The call it a high resolution spring, lol.

the manual clearly shows the rear tower has been "ground" out for the BB. I assume that plus the new carbon A hubs = better spring clearance. The front tower in the drawing "looks" the same. I am sure it is not the same, but I cant see a difference.
