The B5 turnbuckles are supposed to be the same length as the B4.

The B4 turnbuckles will fit just fine, you can go with part #1282 which is the full set or the Jconcepts set as well.

Whaaaa? The B-Max shares some similarities...but I see very little Rango' influence, unless you look at the steering knuckles-

I think all the cars in mid configuration pretty much look very similar...
However, the B5 rear motor is very unique because its a car specifically designed to be a rear motor car only.

Ummmm, everything?
No really, in the pics is as far as I have gotten so far... I surveyed a few packages... The shocks are a little different and the idler gear in the transmission is bigger that I can see so far. Those are the only things I can think of that might have similar qualities to the B4.2 I guess. The transmission case is shaped a little differently compared to previous Stealth Transmissions. The idler is offset a little more. As far as the shocks go... Seems to be cosmetic differences in the caps so far.
I have heard the diff gear is different... but I have not counted the teeth on it yet. Looking at the T-Case it looks huge. Could be an optical illusion.

These might clear things up
Gull wing arms for the mid
And ofcourse the capture cva
Also the adjustable inserts front and rear, angled cups ,what else did i missed? And except the alu chassis for the B5

Looks like AE will have out the RC10B5
ASC90001 RC10B5 Team Kit
ASC90003 RC10B5M Factory Team (M mid motor)
Not sure any other details or when they will be out but cool that we finally get a B5 and no more of the decimal point B4's! :mrgreen:...

I have done lots of carbon parts for the car.
Go to facebook and search for ASSOCIATED B5M PROTO TEAM

RC10B5 or RC10T5

First post
Has anyone heard, through the grapevine, if or when AE is going to come out with a new version of the RC10 or RC10T? I think it's been near 5 or 6 years since the B4 and T4 were introduced.
Thanks

sorry, what is a sensored system?
I was looking at the Reedy Sonic mach 2 8.5T....what would be a good esc for that motor? and battery?
I was thinking Associated XP SC450-BL Brushless ESC with that motor.
Or get the Hobbywing combos?
thanks...

Rc10b5 spare parts to stock up on?
Replies: 2
First post
I want to put some practice time at the track for my rc10b5, what parts should I stock up on? Dont want to break a part and stop driving.
Last post
Front & rear arms, steering spindles, castor blocks and rear hubs. I buy these spares for any new buggy regardless of what it is.
Only additional thing I would suggest is titanium turnbuckles. Bent mine on the first race day.
Overall the buggy is...
