It's like that because an "un-redesigned" car isn't new. It's an update. The B4 and 90%+ of it's parts and design content date back to 2002. The only changes that actually effect the way the car runs are the rear tower update ("4th" hole), the BB shocks, and the +8mm chassis. It still runs great, as it always did but let's recognize it for what it is.
-Transmission case
-rear Hubs
-front hubs
-hexes
-chassis
-shocks
-ubrace
-front and rear towers
-the material everything is made from aside from the chassis (the +8 is the same plastic that was used in the early days).
-Hex rims
-ball cups
- ball studs
- servo saver
- body
- wing
- antenna mount
- outdrives and outdrive bearings
- motor plate
- slipper
Aside from all of that, they are exactly the same.....
. Will there be a new thread for that kit too?

wonder if they will offer at least an upgrade kit of the VTS setup including the b44 spring that has been a real pain finding?
Looks good. Got a buddy looking for a 2wd buggy, maybe he can now pickup a cheap b4.1 lol.
Hoping the thread OP will keep it up to date, that would be most helpful to direct people to.

Back on-topic....
Anyone have any suggestions on what else should be included on the front page, first post?
I want to make it so that people can be referred to the first post, find exactly what they're looking for and questions can be solved immediately.

Darksides post was something like 'i want to provide quicker turn around to my customers therefore the only team driver for darkside will be Dakotah Phend'....Cavs post was something like 'Looking for a new painter...' There probably isnt any bad blood, but I can see where darkside was, i would email him about turn around time and it was easily a two month wait at times.

First post material:
Gearing info: 17.5 blinky start around 72/32 and adjust from there, 13.5 Blinky around 72-29. (someone else can add in mod gearing tips)
C-Hub info, how to do it...what types of tracks would benefit from it. Maybe some pics of the shaved u brace.
Maybe a link to hop up parts...avid triad slipper, JC wing mounts...stuff like that.

The b4.1 and b4.1 wc was the same "edition" because they came with almost everything exact, with the exception of the +8 chassis.
This car is "new" because it comes with:
new shocks
new slipper system
new steering rack
alum hexes
etc
Regardless if you could buy those things "prior" to this release makes no difference, it's still a new car to AE, because if it was wasn't, they'd have kept it underneath the B4.1XXXX name.

I'll do gearing by popular motor, and size of track. My "home" track is small and when I run 17.5 I gear 69/32. If people with small/med/large size tracks could post up gearing, i'll compile that to popular gears, along with part# and post that.
So, anyone with 17.5, 13.5,10.5,8.5, 7.5 running sml/med/lge tracks post up what you run for gearing.
