Tower might have got some in and sold them all on preorder. Amain didnt even have the chassis listed until today. So they didnt have preorder to fufill

haha, these days preorder means sometime in the distant future. Yeah, I saw the tower preorder earlier this week. I dont like paying for an open ended release day. I went looking for about 10 things today, 8 were out of stock....annoying

Should not matter. Amain does not normally raise prices because tower is out of stock. Maybe they are charging a premium.

Rarely do they both have parts for the same price. Kits yes. Parts I usually find tower is cheaper. But has less stock(prob due to being cheaper)

Tower is better than Amain on every AE price I have compared.

How much lighter is the "lite" chassis compared to the original B5M chassis?

Tower is the distributor amain byes from.....of course they can be cheaper. A main sells parts for retail in case you haven't noticed. That being said...I own a retail business so I applaud them for making some money based off rep. Just because you buy online doesn't mean your getting a deal people. Buy local..unless they are idiots they will take the sale even at slim margin.

New from JConcepts come wing shims for the Team Associated B5 and B5M. The buggy offers the option of adjusting the wing angle by changing the direction of the shim or the height by running the shim below or above the wing. JConcepts is now offering the wing shim as a machined aluminium component, available anodized in blue or black colours. The edges are finished with a small highlight chamfer where possible to provide that all important glamorous look. The shim is light-weight and has built in screw bosses on each side which allows the driver to completely secure the shim to the wing with 3mm screws (not included) front and back. The shim has a built in rake of 3 degrees in one direction and shaped to fit around the stock plastic wing mounts or part of the JConcepts screw-down aluminium wing mount system. Utilizing the shim in one direction gives the wing zero degrees or in the opposite direction gives 6 degrees of angle. Placing the shim on top will angle the wing at 3 degrees. Simply drop the new shim onto the wing mounts for a more rigid assembly and secure if preferred with 3mm screws.

If you are wondering the Lite chassis is 26g lighter than the standard one.

That JC wing shim looks awesome... completely unnecessary but have to get one none the less.

Where is a good place to start and work towards more exit steering, small 15 second track.
