I like to buy from my LHS cause they carry a lot of associated parts, and they are cheaper than buying from amain, no shipping cost, like all my electronics I bought through my LHS. plus they treat me real good too so I like to support them as much as possible.

What's the verdict on these? How do they compare to the b4.2 performance wise? I want one but only if it's worth upgrading from my 4.2.

I would assume an updated crush tube is on the horizon. I'm surprised this issue didn't pop up while testing unless the supply of crush tubes were out of spec.

something i posted on b5nation. if you dont want to sand your crush tube, you can use a .2mm and a .05mm shim.

Thinking I may paint the button heads white on mine after seeing this. Not sure that will help my old eyes searching but I can get some of the young 'fellers' to help... maybe blue loctite even though kit doesnt call for it?

Did a sweet nascar tumble down a short straight after hitting a runt, you know that majestic slow roll that makes no noise...


Bent right rear axle ended the night of testing.
