In all honesty, it wouldn't surprise me to see a prototype or two of a B5 at the worlds in a couple of months.
Yeah it wouldn't be surprising if they come out with a prototype for the worlds, but really I would bet they would rather just make small running changes then to redo the whole car. Then again they might market the upgrade car as the B5 even though it is just a B4 with a set-up change.


BTW don't forget that AE had the RC300 way back in the early day's (I think that is what their nitro 8th scale on-road car was called).
