some people have to have the latest and greatest….in rc it reminds me of a lot of the vet motocross racers,they buy the most expensive bike,put ever hop up on it and all the bling they can find,only to never get it out of 2nd gear or never get there ass off the seat,just saying its all about the latest and greatest,we all know these cars are capable of winning like it is,but its how they get us to spend more and more money on there kits and parts,as for the 22 is a solid car out of the box,i don't understand how some people break all the time,I've been tboned by a 8th scale and it didn't do a damn thing to the 22.To each is there own.

Yes, they are running it just like we can buy it out of the box. Even with a one color red paint job.

People just don't get it. This is the same way they released the original B4. They bring out the basic kit. Then figure out what Factory Team options will be "needed". A few months later they will release a Factory Team kit. And another 9 years later they might come out with a B5.1(more than likely an exaggeration). I love how they are doing this release. I want the rear motor car and I'll throw on some Jconcepts Finnisher turnbuckles and rear hexes and go from there.
