B5m vs C4.2
Anyone who has driven and/or owned both know how they compare on track?
Really like the way the C4.2 drives and just wanted to know if the B5m goes as well. I've read mixed reports |

Im no pro but there is a difference its hard to say what though my times were nearly the same on track
B5m seems to be slightly heavier to rear and lighter to front easier to go light at front but thats about all i can say. Only thing i would say is im tempted to sell my c4.2 jus because of the difference it handles i thought id run them and be able to swap easily but doesnt seem the case. Being very average i need to practice with same characteristics swapping was like driving two very slightly diff cars If thats any help

Cheers for the feedback guys - sounds good.
Is there a general consensus amongst national drivers about the car? |

I've got no plans to move away from my C4.2 until the D215 arrives, the B5M is a step backwards IMO going on the one's I've driven...

It's still all prototype stuff at the moment, it'll be a way off yet. Let's not hijack an AE thread |

That is, of course, an entirely unbiased view.....from an Hpi sponsored driver.

Rich im interested in what you thought was different and why you prefer the c4.2 etc. is it a track condition thing or general handling etc.
Thanks

I changed from the C4.2 to the B5m an was instantly quicker, I know a few people that have also changed from different manufacturers who also got quicker with the B5m . It's still down to personal preference but I would say it's a step forward

I went from a b44.2 to a b5m and overall I'm much faster and my laps are more consistent. I just perfure the way that 2wd cars handle and theres less maintenance. But its personal preference at the end of the day.

The B5's I've driven felt really inconsistent, the back end is a bit... weird sometimes. Watching them go round at nationals this year none have looked all that great, they always look like they're on a knife edge and wanting to throw themselves off the track. That might be a case of not finding 'the' setup just yet or possibly just struggling to keep up with the cheaty cars or both, we'll have a better idea when people are more experienced with them Last edited by Richard Lowe; 29-09-2014 at 10:20 PM. |
