So, all the rumours have come true..... That is really interesting, now I know why I asked for cash for Christmas, thank goodness I didn't buy the C4.2..!
Can't wait to see more pictures of both chassis layouts....

[mark christopher]

Carnt help feeling for Cml and their effort in the centro, unless associated have took it on and It will now be a kit

[spud31]

i would say AE have taken it on and improved it. the gearbox that came with c4.2 looked very factory made

I would think they will have some sort of pay out ...did wonder if this was coming as all the other top brands do them and don't wait for companies like cml to do it for them

Rather have 2 cars that are the very best they can offer, than a jack of all trades chassis thats master of non.

same thing I said about schumacher

looks quite good to me, can see lots of losi looking ideas at the front and looks a bit RB6 else were

Personaly (and I'm no expert) I think they have done the right thing as I don't think the losi or the kyosho have quite hit the spot yet, mind you the new 22.0 seems to be a lot closer than the original 22

looking at the photos it looks like the mid is running a different front wishbones than the rear motor? if there are that many small differences Imagine the price if the one kit contained almost 2 different cars...

We will see more when she gets her top off Hmmmmm

[Big G]

B5 looks to have straight front wishbones whereas the B5M has gullwing ones.

Don't forget jonathan from atomic carbon as the c4 is essentially his S2 design in the first place!!!!
