I'm pretty sure you have found the same as I have since you're running the Yokomo BB. That makes Kyosho, Losi, Yokomo, and AE that have all been tested on the B4. 3 by me personally. See ya Thursday if you're running. We'll have the new car out running at LSR.

The standard is moving to hexes. AE out them on the latest b44.2, so you can bet, they will be on all cars.

I mean do they aid in handling, performance, traction?

I do like the Monos though....

They made my wheels tires on the axles. No I don't see how that can happen its more a cosmetic change then anything. Like the JC aluminum wing mounts.

B4.2 ft will most likely come with all those goodies. I would pay more for a kit in don't have to dump money into. With the b4 you can run it with no hop ups but I like to have the latest things. Right now I'm using a kyosho world car and I gained a lap with it. Just works for me and now I'm finally on pace.

Over all strength, and the wheels roll truer more consistently. Also, one wrench for front or rear...

Back a few years ago in my RC10GT2 I used to run the quick change hubs both front and rear which made tire testing a breeze

Car was rockIng but believe it or not we are both faster and more consistent with the new car. We have been playing with it for a while now. This change didn't happen over night. We put the Losi down once the +8 chassis came out because we were faster and more consistent with it. The AE is a great buggy. Just going with what I feel fits my driving style a little better.
