Yes the B4 wheels transfer over to the B5. There is not a B5 wheel.

One avg joe type driver I spoke with said it was very smooth. Nothing more beyond that yet.

That's way too stiff, your front end won't have a good balance with the rear end. That's 2 or 3 steps stiffer then we ever run on the RM car. As an aside, I have been running the gullwings with green springs and have been fairly happy with it, whites would also work well. Any stiffer then that is not something I think would be effective.

So ya I came across this when I was building my rear shocks.....

That was my last step to finishing my car, I already had the electronics in and soldered up, tires glued, ect, now I'm one chock shaft short. And of course I was building my shocks at the kitchen table rather then my rc table. Lol

IMO, I would get replacements from AE and buy the shafts locally to get me going. Then you at least have spares in your box and can run sooner.

Ya about that, my local shops never seem to have parts, unless it's traxxas. So now I have to wait. I might order it from tower so I can have it here by Tuesday.
