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
