this is found on many internet shops and is from team associated themselves.

The Teams standard threaded, hard-anodised, PTFE-coated shocks with Unobtainium shafts handle the dampening on all four corners. A complete set of 14 PTFE sealed bearings are included to ensure smooth, efficient operation. Lightweight out drives are included, as well as a new clear injection-moulded gear cover. To get the power to the ground, the B4 Factory Team comes with Pro-Line M3 Holeshot rear tires and M3 compound wide-body buggy front tires on white Pro-Line dish wheels. No Factory Team kit would be complete without a full array of Factory Blue components, so the B4 includes blue Titanium turnbuckles, aluminium servo mounts, wheel spacers, front hinge pin brace, centre-drilled front axles, screws, body clips, and a lightweight milled blue aluminium motor mounting plate.
things like this are always on either the shops website or the manufacturers website, also check out the search function too might be already answered.

btw i am not sure on the differences with the b4.1 as its not out till the end of the month but I am sure there will be some details out soon.

the differences between the ft and rs are the ft is a kit.it has different shocks, alloy front hinge pin brace,stiffer servo saver spring,titanium turnbuckles and alloy front axles.also the arms and shock towers,braces etc(chassis on the older ones) are carbon composite.also the diff outdrives are lightweight(not really much difference).the ft also comes with better bearings i think.the newer ft kits also come with the bleeder caps for the shocks.
the rs also is a rtr and comes prebuilt and fitted with electrics.

the b4.1 is the update to the rs.it comes with slightly different front and rear shock towers,a gear diff(ft and rs have ball diffs) and different gearbox housing to fit this.also it comes with different electrics(either brushed or brushless speedo and 2.4ghz radio)

the differences on the front shock towers is that the new ones have more material where the ballstud is located to reduce the risk of the ballstud pulling out.the new rear towers have done away with the outer mounting hole for the shock and added one further in(apparently helps with lipo setups on dirt tracks

I think the most interesting difference will be the gear diff.

honestly dont know.i rarely use the inner hole on the old style towers (as i find the car pants over bumps and a bit snatchy)so cant see myself runing the inner ones on the new style as these are even further in.the people to ask would be the team drivers.
