Anyone know for sure if the new 90 tooth mounts will be backwards compatible like 18 and 51 toothers?

They are not compatible.

As Scott said, no they are not compatible.
They use an entirely different setup of threads and bearing surfaces:

AAC should produce identical bodies in a couple of sizes and offer them all with 51 and 90t attachments. Instead of having three mounts in inventory simultaneously and a mash up of cans that do and don't fit.

Add me to the list of folks waiting to be able use their outdated shit...
I feel your pain, as you can add me to the list of people waiting now for an outdated product as well. I'm still waiting to be able to pick up my M4 2000 (51t mount)
But I blame the NFA laws and the back logged BATF for that.
Although how would you propose to run the operation? Stop making and developing new products or not put them out because it will make someone else's stuff obsolete?
AAC isnt really doing anything different than what car companies, Microsoft, or Apple or anyone else is doing with their respective products.
I am fairly new to the world of NFA, so if you know something I don't about AAC being underhanded with their marketing tactics or sales practices please do tell.
At least AAC still keeps stocks of parts for their older designs instead of totally cutting you off from servicing their older products (*coughcough HK)

The difference between AAC and cars, electronics and the like is that you don't have to wait 6 months before you can drive your car or use your new cell phone or computer. Yes, there will be upgrades and new products being released but you can either wait for the new product or purchase a product that you know will be replaced shortly. With NFA, you can't do this because you are at the mercy of the examiners. For example. I learned about the Mini4, researched it, asked questions and even started a thread on here and received a lot of input from guys on here that are affiliated with AAC. The serial number on my Mini4 is 36. Yup, 36. I still haven't received my From 4 back and since SHOT, my Mini4 is out dated.
I think the best thing AAC can do about this situation is to put into their design a way to change the suppressor to accept any new adapter that they design. Like a product enhancement program. This would keep a lot of customers happy-er.
