Yep, agree. Drove C4 and B4 tonight. Both have their benefits. I have made so many changes on my B4.2 , 13.5 want a B5 just so I can get back to box set ups again. When I start changing so many things from original, makes me feel all willy nilly.

so does anyone have any pics or specifics link for the b5? Also my buddy at the track his buggy a b4.1 with the small 10mm shocks is squating really hard on acceleration, he is running the 3 hole piston (smallest hole) with like a blue spring in the rear,hes running 30 in the rear , a sway bar (gold), and a gear diff with 5k oil, we suggested 45 front, 40 rear, with a camber link change (inside hole on the hub c tower, with a 2mm shim on the inside of the shave u brace), this is from a middle hole on c tower with no shim, and maybe 7k oil, no one else seems to be having this issue with their car yet,

There is no B5 yet, and hopefully won't be anytime soon!
I love my B4.2 and can't imagin any need for a completely new buggy.

well yes the b4.2 is good but it needs some updating/ upgrading. Its good but some things could be better, theres A LOT of slop overall in the car, not a huge deal outdoor, where its rough and such but indoor clay, or carpet thats a big deal, also some of the stock steel parts are very heavy, and could be replace with aluminum and titanium, such as the top shaft, the cvd's the front axil's the spur assembly

I agree, it isn't PERFECT out of the box but with some upgrades, which is half the fun of this hobby, it can be perfect! Yeah, Avid and J Concepts make tons of stuff, motor centering kit which comes with the light weight top shaft, I got that! Carbon steering rack tightens up the steering. HD Ball cups are almost madnatory. Triad slipper assembly makes an excellent upgrade. Aluminum wing supports are nice and add a lil bling factor. I also went with carbon front arms and B44 rear arms for better performance.

I agree and disagree at the same time. Yes, there are things that you can upgrade on the car to make it better to suit your driving ability/style. However, the car has been proven competitive straight out of the box, without upgrades.

Happy veterans day Matt, thanks for your service buddy!

:lol: I just went back to yesterday's page. This was obviously a joke, Matt knows that. We go back and forth like this all the time and have known each other a while.
