New 2wd anytime soon??

[alanwheeldon]

Will there be a new 2wd in the pipeline anytime soon?

I'm thinking of getting the B5M but don't know if I should wait or not??

[Noob]

For associated, no I would would say not for a good while, maybe a ft b5m or something.

[stumpiey]

look how long they kept the B4 platform going, i wouldn't hold your breath for a new car for a while

[alex97]

Do you mean a version factory team or a whole new platform?

[xfactor]

I think the results that the B5M has had with the 3-gear gearbox. You may see a FT with 3-gear option maybe..........

Having talked to a friend who is an actual engineer at AE, I can tell you that a FT car is probably a ways off (Cause I was considering waiting for a FT version rather than buying all the upgrades).
You'll see refinements as the car gets more and more track time.

I think the big push is likely an 8th scale and other minor developments possibly in the SC or ST class.


Its SOOOOO expensive to R&D a new car and come out with something new. As was previously stated, the B4 platform was so solid for so long, thats one thing I like about AE. They don't "feel" the need to come out with a new car when the current one is doing fine. With so many wins under its belt, its hard to justify re-inventing the wheel.
