I use the B4 wheel conversion - it drops straight on and gives you exactly the same rear track as the Kyosho wheels. It's a pain free transparent way to use Losi / B4 wheels.
As for the carbon chassis thing..... Even I could tell the difference between my B4 with a plastic chassis versus graphite (more forgiving to drive). The RB5 is dead easy to drive (albeit not necessarily the fastest car) straight out the box so perhaps Kyosho see no reason to make a more flexible chassis.
With the 2008 "Limited edition" conversion kit, perhaps Kyosho intend to the same as they did with the Lazer SP conversion - sell it for a while to allow current owners to upgrade and then release a new version of the RB5 kit.
