I bet they didn't touch the diff from the B4, myself.

The B4 was perfect, don't know how they could improve.

Well the diff I got with my b4 was not the greatest diff ever made however for being a factory diff it was pretty good rhe balls are still rocking

It's going to be funny when the "improved plastics" make it handle like crap.

EMBRACE THE SLOP!

last time I raced my sc10 ft, i was all over the track. finally ended up running crazy glue through all the hinge pins and gluing the pin in the rear aluminum hub carriers. Also had to crazy glue the bearings into the rear hub carriers...

Ended up winning the main.

The average club racer shouldn't have to deal with that kind of slop on a 1 month old car.

Here are a couple of things they could have done that nobody has mentioned:

1. I DID see where RC Car Action mentioned a possibly new transmission design. Could that be a change to move the motor to the middle (left/right)? Avid sells a kit for the B4 to do that.

2. Did they make the chassis narrow? If it does have a more narrow chassis, will we be doomed to the eternal frustration TLR22 drivers face with no room for their electronics? I was hoping to be able to have some room with the B5.

3. Will the ballcups finally work out of the box? Did they redesign them?

4. Dunno if the B4 has the same CVD style as the 44.2 but I don't like having to glue them together so that they don't blow apart (that little cover thing). Maybe those are redesigned.

5. I wonder if the MM will have a weight kit like the 22 does. It's a nice feature for tuning.

6. Hot bodies has this very cool feature on their shock shafts with 3 1mm spaced lines for adjusting droop with the eyelet. THAT would be nice. Maybe AE put those on their new shafts?

Anything else?

I think we are going to see more soon on rc10.com there is a php error on the b5 page so they might be updating it.

The B5 link is down on AE site.... maybe they are updating it......

Never had a diff issue on the B4, all the issues I have seen come up have been user error or lack of maintnance.

Diff is fine. I'm talking about suspension and axle slop and wobble.
