Aside from witchery and all forms of black magic, can anyone explain the more steering thing? I can see more weight transfer forward when on the brakes.. but that's about it. Placebo effect

More weight transferred. It'll rotate faster because the weight is centralized, and it'll roll more due to the increased center of gravity.

No different than what Losi did with the 22.

It is great that AE was able to release this kit with all these upgrades at the same price as the previous version but all of these quality issues are bullshit. I hope they get this figured out quickly. I would be livid if I bought a new kit and had these issues

I have a NIB rear tower from a b4.1 also and below is the only difference I see on the b4.2 tower.

So nothing done to address the caber link rubbing on the shock bodies?

I have three kits coming and if I have issues I'll be disappointed, especially with a 10 yea4 old and 11 year old ready to put them on the track a week ago.

Yes bad glue is bad.

He used a cut down rear T plate. I believe using a plastic T plate is better since it will not stiffen the chassis and plastic would have minimal influence.

No they still rub. You need to mount the carbon tower on the backside of the hub carrier and use an ASC6277 ball stud and space it out with a 2mm spacer (ASC31326). It angles the camber link back slightly and there is no rubbing even under stress when the arm flexes.
