They should call the new car C4.3 just to make thinks even more confusing!

They are already working with the C4.1 platform, which works well now for craggy and cav, and we are not likely to see a new model (for sale) before the world's.
The B4.2 was a freshen up of the B4.1. Why would they call a new flagship mid motor car a similar point revision name, when its not?

Also, has anyone from cml or AE said there will be a c4.2 out, and that's its official name? All we have seen are some new moulded plastic bits that need a new chassis, that we haven't seen yet.

My view is we won't see a product on the shelves called a C4.2.

2/3 people in the know have confirmed this read the posts!

Ok for the record!!

There is a new conversion kit coming.
This will have new chassis, new moulded gearbox, new rear bulkhead and rear tower, new arm mounts, multiple battery layout options.

This conversion will be available late July if all goes to plan.

This is a complete new kit and nothing from this kit will fit the original c4/c4.1.
any questions just message me on wes@cmldistribution.co.uk

I'll keep my eye out for all the C4.1's which will be going up for sale

Lee1972 · #29 12-06-2013

Are there any pictures yet?

wezzer · #30 12-06-2013

not really finnished pictures, i have posted some gear box CAD images but as its all prototype stuff yet its not a finished product so not very pretty to look at.

Thanks for the clarity. But will it be called a C4.2?

They already did! Loads have been changing hands for a while now. Lots were sold a few months ago when the rumours started.

wezzer · #34 12-06-2013

it should be called the C4.2 yes.

ASR · #35 12-06-2013

Nice !, can you confirm/disclose any information about bendy chassis improvements wezzer?, as for me personally, this will make or break the conversion, not sure about others?

Also, will the old shells still fit?

Who cares it's not finished yet! We want to see the pictures! Oh and before you ask, yes, I'm already drooling but I have a hanky at hand, so let 'm rip!

Cheers Keith/Wezzer - looking good

Neal - what were you on about - be good to get facts rather than speculate. If in doubt ask cml guys they will be first to know.

Seen a prototype from a cml distance and looks like alot of changes but like anything we will have to wait and iron out any issues - is there a reason for the delay or just getting the kits sorted. Think the gearbox will be a massive improvement and looking forward to it.

Any news yet on UK release date... Wes from CML said July on above post...must have meant US of A.

and as it is available there, why not here ?

wezzer · #40 18-09-2013

hi
The kits will be ready early next week, week starting 23/09/2013, the reason the USA got some kits before it was released over here is they had to gear up for the worlds! most of the AE team will be running the C4.2 at the worlds if the traction is as it's expected to be.
we have a delay of a few days for the release of the C4.2 in the UK over the USA. if there wasnt a worlds going on then this kit would of been availlable here before the USA.
