[dbizzle5]

Isnt it just the newly boxed B4 with Neil Craggs car on the box? I think its just a Factory Team but now has plastic chassis instead of graphite as thats wot is used by most.

GOLD SHOCK SHAFTS HAVE BEEN INCLUDED SINCE LAST YEAR.WHERE IS IT ANNOUNCED ABOUT A 2008 SPEC B4?

[Chris Harte]

MK racing had the 2008 spec in on the FT one. I think its a kit with more metric parts in. As AE is starting to go metric. It could be a new shell and better screws.

[barnyard]

i have one and the only difference between this and the old FT version is the box artwork and the wheels.

it comes with a graphite chassis, imperial screws, original shell & wing and the gold shock shafts.

the shock shafts are a running change as they are the same part number as the old unobtanium items.

the wheels are the ae items not proline and the same as those in the rtr kits but without tires glued on, the best feature is they are round... well compared to a proline item but they are in white and dont go with my shell so will be swopped at some point

i have the one with the new box art and wheels and gold shock shafts. but i dont see how this a new spec?
