B4.1 Mid motor conversion

[TheReferee]

i believe, but will need to confirm that you can also convert from a B4 but you would need the 4.1 outdrives as well.

having seen the prototype going its very very good.

Thats good news if true

[TheReferee]

i have had the confirmation that you can convert from a b4 with the addition of a couple of 4.1 parts, i believe one of the main developers will be along later to say exactly what is required.

For me it won't be either though as I favour rear motor.

You don't hang about John... were you typing whilst on the phone?

More details to be released shortly but yeah, its coming, and its awesome!

You can convert a B4/B4.1 or even an X6 to a centro. All parts are Associated bar the bespoke items of alu. chassis, 4 gear gearbox casing, rear shock tower and some chassis hardware (battery brace etc.). If converting anything other than a B4.1, you will need B4.1 outdrives as the gearbox has been designed around the dimensions of a B4.1 gearbox.

I don't want to say too much more at this stage as CML want to release the information at the rate they wish, but we will shortly be producing a detailed report as to how the car came about, how it has performed in testing and all companies who have been involved in the process. Stay tuned...

It'll be interesting to see how the Vega v Centro v X6 contest works out!

I'll be tempted if its <£150 (the Twenty Two makes anything more expensive look a poor deal) - as I'd be getting a new diff and building from spares to leave my B4 intact, I'd give serious thought to the gear diff (though it got trashed in the Vega B4 threads).

After seeing a Vega shell I'm hoping the Centro's is going to look nicer

Any pics of the Centro bodyshell that can be shown?

[Funkymojo]

Any idea when is the release date for the C4.1?

[Chequered Flag Racing]

Pictures of the prototype Centro 4.1 can be seen in o0ple's report from the Stotfold National

http://www.oople.com/rc/photos/2011national-stotfold/

finished 2nd & 6th in the A final

[tony6187]

hmmm ...... wonder if the chassis will be anodised gold

[Funkymojo]

I think silver or hard anodised will look nice. Has a very clean and pro kit look. No blue, red or green anodise please...don't want it to look like some cheap China rtr kits, for example Heng Long...those look atrocious.
