My guess is they will be bringing out a complete car, which is something that was mentioned before.

Whats the second part for? Is it to mount the case to the rear tower or is there going to be a new rear tower?

I also notice a build up of intrest in the Centro on rc tech at the moment, perhaps the new (c4.2 if there is one) will be released more globally?

just speculating

My assumption is that the second part is part of a new rear shock tower and there are carbon fibre extensions attached to it to hang the shocks off... but I could be wrong.

looks like your right pictures from jimmys epr report:



the new tower setup looks very... finished, doesnt it take a lot of effort to create the moulds for parts like this?

More: The chassis has ben modified aswell, looks like the gear case slots into the chassis like the b4 used to slot into the rear t plate and there is aslo a weird aragement of screws from the new gear case.


These new parts make me very excited.

Sorry I missed it on the day - they use Yardy as he's like a stealthy warrior. I just noticed the chassis in that crash and went from there. Don't have any clearer shots sadly.

Not a fan of the c4.1 looks Wez - but this looks like a vast improvement - like a REAL production car.

no miCk this wont fit the C4 chassis, its completly new for the C4.2.
I agree Jimmy, the C4 was built for a purpose, function over form a little maybe the C4.2 will be nicely finished and improve on performance over the C4.1 !
