Depends on what you want....

B4 - Build as kit but, change springs and put right tyres on and you have a competative car. Great if you just want to put batteries in and race!

RB5 - Need to work more on the setup, but if you enjoy that kind of thing its very rewarding.

In my opinion (having raced B4's for 4 years and RB5 for 2 weeks!) the B4 is a stronger car, the latest FT version also requires very few hop-ups, maybe some castor blocks etc.

RB5 is a smoother more neatral handling car when you get it set-up right and its nice to run something a bit different. Also it needs a few more hop-ups, must haves are titanium turnbuckle set and carbide diff balls.
