The B4 is still the best car in the world nothing can relaly touch it. I have ran one for the past 1 1/2 years i havent been disapointed with it once. High quality car good parts and defently fast. As for te team/ factory tea edition I recomend getting a factory team and replacing the carbon chassis with a plastic chassis. Some drivers like to run a full plastic parts car others like to run full carbin some a bit of both.

There are other cars on the market that you should consider

B4 factory team any day, since i upgraded from the B4 RTR i noticed a huge difference in the carbon parts/chassis and love the responsivness now. i just put tape down the battery compartment so it wouldnt short the cells, also so the cells were still bare so i can still use an equalising tray

Thats a very expensive way of doing it!

It's much easier to just get the FT car in the first place and buy a plastic chassis if you want it to be more random

Its a hell of a lot cheaper to buy the FT where you get most of that stuff then buy the plastic bits, a FT is only £165 now.

Work out the prices for the FT with a new chassis and team kit with the upgrades
Plus extra plastic on the car makes it's easier to drive.
