R WE EVER GOING TO C A NEW 4WD FOR THEM OR WHAT??????????

They may have cobbled something together for the 2017 Worlds in China, and then release a kit to buy afterwards (if its any good), with the same sort of timings as B6 after the 2015 worlds. Don't expect one for Christmas, it's simply not going to happen.

What surface is t track this time :mad:

[neallewis]

looks like a B44.5 is dropping soon. AE Website gave it away, but it's now been pulled.
Likely a rehash of the old B44 platform for some revived sales, not a new platform people had hoped for.

Interesting, do you have a source that's prompted those thoughts Neal?

Yes, someone from Associated, employed by them. I may of course be completely wrong, won't be the first time, but my source told me the new 4wd platform was a very long way off. I'm therefore speculating that any B44.X revision released now is based on the old car platform.

Edit: plus it's an EOS weekend, so ideal timing to drop something and have the world see it before Christmas.

Apparently there's a lot of AE drivers booked into 4wd at this EOS?
