Time to order some new bodies.

Sorry for the crappy pic, but I wonder how they worked out the shock spacing. The towers have have been shaved to allow room for the cap, but were more spacers needed when using the alloy shock bushings on the .1? I went straight to plastic, and did my own thing when it came to spacing the shocks.

I'll get one when I run out of pin-style wheels. My current car has seen better days.

It looks like the standard spacing. I am unsure if they just precut the tower or possibly changed the thickness or angle as well. I suspect it was only precut. I still do not like the idea of Alum on Alum, so i would buy the plastic bushing right away, lol.

Just hoping my 22 sells before Amain gets them in stock.

Put money down on one at my LHS last night. Hoping to snag the first one locally, can't wait!!

Im gonna be preordering one as well. Might as well get the first batch.
I did when the original B44 came out. Anyone remember?

Is Stallard going to get one too?

He dont race much. So i doubt it. Ill be lucky to see him once this season.

I really don't need them but I pre-ordered 2 on A-Main. Prob just keep them around until my current .2's wear out...

ordered one too ;)

So Associated decided to release a car that everyone has been racing for almoast year now?? :weird:

Not sure I quite understand.. but.... i guess the saying goes... If it aint broke don't fix it.. Just upgrade it??? :sweat:

LOL...

I think the BB shocks were the main driving force. The rest of the upgrades are meh. If you want people to switch from losi to Ae and tell them hey buy my car for $250 and then buy my $100 shocks, then realize you cant sell your v2 shocks because everyone wants the BB shock. Then, less people will want to switch. Once the came out with the BB shocks, then needed to release a new "dot" revision. But they took it a step further and gave you every upgrade you were using and wanting. I think they did the right thing. This was the best thing they could do to try and bring drivers over to AE. Buy my car with all the upgrades, just add tires and go. I wish more companies sold cars that were loaded out of the box.

Im thinking they moved the entire tower forward a bit, no way to know until it's released.

WHAT is all the fuss about? How is it a negative that AE periodically releases a new minor revision of their car that includes all of the latest upgrades and changes. It's not like they called it the B5, they called it a B4.2. The last car was a B4.1. They're honest in their naming and they should be applauded for keeping their kits current.

They want an alum chassis lol
