It depends on the surface you are running on. On very loose dirt the B4 with its rear motor configuration could have an advantage a B5M, but not over a B5R.
The geometry is supposedly the same from the B4 to B5 but I can tell you that I upgraded my B4.2 to a Centro C4.2 and then switched to a B5M and the B5 is a much better car. So much that I ended up with a T5M and will be getting a SC5M when they get here. I have sold my spare B4.2, My T4.2 and will be getting rid of my SC10.2 very soon. Might even sell off the Centro roller as well.
