Can you guys comment on the rear bulkhead/shock tower area? Does it look stronger then the C4.2?

Tis why rather than drop $150 on new shells I just bought myself an airbrush and compressor.

All it takes me now is my time and I'm getting better with each lid I paint.

Yes, it real beefy. Looks like they took the centro stuff and improved a lot on it.

This car is the most excited I've been for a new RC in a looong time! I feel the same way about the engineering that went into this buggy as when AE first introduced the new B4! A new piece of engineering that will make other companies scramble to keep up.. Of course, the competition is a lot more fierce and there are a lot more competitors now so I don't think the B5 will go and win 4 Ifmar Worlds in a row like the B4 did but it has definitely raised the bar!

although it may be plain, I can never decide on a paint-job that I want done so instead, I go for whatever color I want most at the time! But don't worry, sometimes I'll border the windows too

Ya I usually paint my stuff plain too. At most 3 colours but simple designs. Thats a really cool paint job by the way.

I heard no and there is just 1-2 in existence. And it looks like that one is being used by engineers to test with. I would expect them to be in full force by cactus.

No pictures were allowed, but definitely made me go and pre order it last night.

So who is the engineer...? Coach...???

Man Florida sucks I want to move to Cali
