"Updated shock towers optimized for the 12mm "Big Bore" shocks "
I downloaded the b4.2 manual and towers have the same part numbers as b4.1???????????????
running change to old part maybe?

it is called a running update. They did it with the "lipo" rear towers and ubraces in the past. The issue will be ordering it online and getting old stock. I suggest you get them from the LHS and LOOK at the tower to make sure it is correct.

Doesn't appear to be MM,

Nor does it seem to even mention anything about MM capabilities in the specs they give, though they are a bit vauge of what all else might be in the box.

So far new towers, shocks, hexes, a,b,carbon rear hub towers (maybe a c as well, the specs dont say anything about them, but the pic shows them on the car), and VTS slipper. Pretty much what most have alreay done to the .1's. Be interesting to see how many .1's hit the for sale threads and flea bay. I'm not thinking it'll be a ton unless people want or need the new .2. Or they are looking to jump ship because it wasn't a B5 or something new design wise.

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

Yup, I'd bet that they'll at least have the carbon B tower as well in the box. As they did come with the stock plastic A ans B towers in the previous kits. I'm thinking possibly a C tower as well. Hard to say when the specs don't mention anything about them. Something about the link working better with the BB's and carbon towers clearance wise if I remember right

My "ONLY" issue with this car is the release date. I am sure they tried to make it by xmas, but having it out before xmas would have been much better for sales. I probably would have bought one for xmas. But since my wife bought me the BB shocks, I will wait until I find out if my 7 year old can drive a buggy. Then she will get mine and I get a new ride, lol.

IMO you are wrong. People want the latest and greatest. But they want a new car for christmas too. And they are impatient. So they get a new B4.1WC or the new BB shocks. Then AE releases the B4.2 a few months later. So people sell their 1 month old cars to buy the latest and greatest. Because its new. It doesnt matter if there is barely any difference in the kits. It's new so it MUST be better.

Why do you think they started selling the BB shocks before they had the correct towers ready? Because people would buy them. Then people will go out and buy the new kit 6 months later as well.
