Given the 108 mile trip to the track I only race every other weekend...and I'm about to be traveling a lot for business so I won't be able to built it soon unless I get it this week.

I should have pre-ordered from Tower or AMain.

Well I'm pissed at....

Edit: Called and talked to them and worked it out. Not as happy as I would have been had they shipped it Friday but that part I can understand.

We get our B5 today, have fun waiting for slow mail.

Hell I'm not just waiting for slow mail...I'm waiting for a slow shipper...THEN I'm waiting for the slow mail.

One more hour to wait before the shop opens and I can give them a call. FWIW I got a PM from another user here who also placed an order before the shipping cutoff they had programed into eBay and he has gotten no response from them either.

I talked to a guy that ran his last weekend. he said it was pretty good out of the box and jumped better than the b4 for sure. The early reports all pretty much say it jumps better, so that is nice. But I am not sure what that means, lol. Takes off better and/or lands without slapping on flat landings?

Spencer Rivkin Posted the results for his first night with the b5.
Here is his car and results

I'll buy one when I can buy a spare of front and rear a arms. It's 197 mile round trip to the nearest hobby store. I already know how my luck works. I've herd "I've never seen that happen before" more times than you can imagine. lol

I will check on the fit of the 4.2 body for those that are curious later today when mine comes in. Hopefully I can build it far enough to see.

I know a 4.2 body won't fit right. It's a few inches too wide. The Centro body fits, as does the RB6 body. I didn't think to check the TLR body, but I still have my TLR bodies so I'll check then. That way anyone who is coming over from another car, or just wants another option besides the kit body.

I'm thinking the TLR bodies will fit too because I test fit a Centro body on my 22 and it fit. You just have to trim them.
