Anybody got the B5 yet...? What is the kit like and does it handle better than the B4...?

There are a few at York. Ask Ben Jemison.
Looks a decent kit to be fair, if I was in the market for another rear motor, I'd pick one up. B5M will be good.

I'm not long finished building one, it's my first AE buggy and I was impressed with everything about it. For the money you can't go wrong. I've yet to run mines but a friend ran his on Wednesday night and said it was good, no issues whatsoever

Just finished mine off and I must say it builds very well indeed no trimming or shimming of parts anymore and it has been improved in all area's. Can't wait for the B5m to come out as that should be a big step up from the C4.2 in terms of build quality.

Only parts added (apart from stainless screws and some blue nuts ) are the J Concepts Fin turnbuckles and some alloy hex's. Only other addition I will add is the alloy front hinge pin brace.

Excuse the shell it's only a temporary one until I can get one pro painted....

Nice to hear about the quality....have to say , it does look good...you just need the carbon battery brace..!

Yes I know.... the Associated one is a bit pricy at £24.95 but I know Rudebits are now doing one at £14.95....tempted

Where did you get the stainless screw set...? I guess it will have to be metric now and the current Associated sets won't be right.... Just planning ahead for my B5M..

I use www.modelfixings.co.uk for mine but had some left over from RPCracing from when I had a Durango.
