Sorry, it isn't. Not knocking your ride, the Team C car is fine, it runs really well from what I've seen, but parts are not readily available, the design is old, and they aren't run in very many regions so support is thin.
The B5 is certainly an evolution from the B4.2 but it has a couple of key adjustments and improvements over the 4.2, like adjustable steering trail, much larger/stronger knuckles/spindles and rear arms, a completely different chassis, far better shocks, etc. Everyone I know who has owned both cars are very pleased with the difference in performance and durability over their old cars.
For the record, I run TLR's. Just stating that right now the B5 is the best buggy value on the market.
