New Team Associated 2WD - discuss

[PaulJCentro]

So it seems there are many C4.1's on the forum up for sale. There is also more and more talk on the US Forums filtering through.

Europe is undeniably a huge market for the RC Industry, in particular the UK where mid motor designs are in huge demand on the high grip surfaces provided.

Kyosho have done it, Losi, Team Durango, Schumacher. It must be only a matter of time now. It wont help to debut it at the World's as it most certainly won't be useful on dirt so maybe it is to be held off until after?

What would we like to see from AE, a platform based on the Ultra Successful molded B4 design, a new molded design or a completely new carbon based platform. (Think DB1 for example).

Cheers!

With schumacher its two cars, sv2 and svr. B5r and B5m? B5 US and B5 EU?

Not carbon anyway...having started out with a tub chassis RC10 I prefer alloy and I think with cars like the Durango and RB6 it is easier to make changes to the design of individual chassis parts instead of making a new expensive mould to change the entire thing.
Personally I would prefer 2 cars, dedicated rear and mid motor sharing common parts where practical but not a compromised design to satisfy both.

I would like to see a Vega style chassis but made from composite.
Im sure it will borrow ideas from the other cars on the market such as the Losi 22, DEX210 and RB6.

So is this a stronger rumour than the previous ones? Had a quick google and could not find anything much more than the ones asking what people would like to see in a new AE 2wd. Any links or pointers??

Really, really bored first day back at work

Cheers

I've spoken to team drivers who've been asking AE for a while - and afaik they have had the c4.1 in the USA to look at, so maybe it'll happen.
