I built mine from the off with B5 arms/tower and it feels fine, doesn't do anything unexpected the B4/C4 had straight arms and worked fine. I need to test it with stock front tower and arms at some point though.

The B5 though is great out of the box it needs a bit of weight up front as most rear motor buggies do but I will likely run this more than my B5M for club racing - mostly indoor mixed carpet/slippy floor. Balance was really good with no more tweaking than putting some tyres on it that would work.

I think the M needs some more set up work to get it right for me but it worked well enough on very bumpy astro at the weekend I just need to test a few changes to get it where I'd like.
