B4 Stealth

[Mike Hudson]

B4 factory team or even a T4 factory team if you like stadium trucks buying the b4 stealth you'd need a few parts to get it up to the strength that the factory team version is at and would end up costing more than the factory team and you still wouldn't have some of the parts that the factory team car has that you'd benefit from so best to go straight for the factory team versions unless your a person that already had a stealth version to get the few upgrades for it to get it upto scratch

When you say stength Mike, what do you mean? Traditionally it's thought plastic is more robust than the carbon plastics so the team version is likely to be more robust anyway.

I'd guess Mike means the aluminium front bulkhead brace and ti turnbuckles

[super__dan]

The beefed up plastic front brace is pretty much up to it, not a weakness like it used to be. The steel turnbuckles are/used to be gash, the threads were never very good, don't know if that's still the case.
