Didn't George mention a B5 on Christmas, a few months ago?

So I just finished up building a b44.2 kit. Absolutely love it. Coming from running Short Course trucks.. It's like driving a tank then jumping into a Ferrari. I can't wait to see how this B5m will compare. Think I'm done with the SC trucks. Buggies are Awesome.. And thanks for everyone's input, very informative.. Think its time to start racing and quit bashing.

With those angled steering ball cups I would assume they don't want them rotating around too much.

I have Durangos, switched back and forth, and of the people I know who've tried it, I'm the only one that likes the MM.

Grab Forza/Gran Tursimo/other good simulator, drive Porsche GT3, drive Ferrari who cares which, it's not a bad comparison

I think the reason I like the MM is because I'm originally a touring car racer, and my lines tend to be more flowing, many describe my style as smooth. If I was more of a point and shoot kind of driver, I think I'd prefer the Porsche/RM, and I really think being too smooth can cost you time in off road. A point and shoot can definitely be faster in a lot of conditions, and I'm working on tighter, heavier braking type lines, but am happier with the MM feel if there's enough traction there to use it.

OK, so from what I've heard from pretty reliable AE sources is that there's just a few complete cars kicking around now. Until the shipment arrives, it'll be sparse. And yes, I've heard the exact same dates as "Wild Cherry" Should be from reliable sources but they also said it could be later. Probably if the container goes on what is called "intensive" in customs and that can take 1 day or 3 weeks.

With Chinese New Year coming up they better hurry or that will be another month at least. Was so much better when everything was American made but we would be paying Kyosho prices for a B5.

Does driving a mm car feel a little more like a 4wd buggy?
