this one or the Vega, mmmmmmmmmm

Vega if it does'nt convert with the B4 though

Itd have to be this one if any :)

That's interesting.....

If it was Vega, its would be labelled, not C4.1...

AHHHHH..... I HATE TEASERS! i want one now and dont even know wat it looks like:(

What does the C stand for ?

Centro just seen it !

it'll be worth the wait guys!!!:thumbsup:

It did look a nice bit of kit :thumbsup:

:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup: :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Told you :thumbsup:

Guessing this is what Tom Yardy was running at Chadderton over the winter.

So that leaves the 201 only native rear motor car. Lee's not going to have an easy time

Any extra pics etc?

Extra's ???

I haven't seen any yet never mind extra's

any idea of the price?or wether it will be a conversion kit only or complete car?:cry:

Who is to say Lee Martin hasn't got something new ???

Tamiya are always looking to improve.... First national will be a good one!!!

Come on spill the details?

Will certainly be interesting to hear who is running what. I'm not at the nationals, but looking forward to Jimmy's great reports

Anyways..back to the CML/Associated car :)

If Atomic Carbon have had anything to do with it, it will be (and look) the bollox :)

It does look very nice, and has been very impressive in testing.

Is this an AE kit?

Everything you have ever made has looked nice JC!

As far as I know its a conversion kit, being released by CML Distribution, to convert a B4.1 to a mid-motor "C4.1"

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.

john

Thats good news if true :woot:

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.

john

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

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...

TY

:thumbsup:

so now it's a choice between the Centro or the Vega :woot:

any idea on a price for the Centro?

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).

Tom can you say stick or saddle lay out?

any idea of relase date???????:cry::cry::cry:

Do a search for atomics old S2 its very similar I believe And yes he was running it at chadderton also :lol:

Not far away :blush:

Like an S2 but better :thumbsup:

Any idea what material the chassis will be made of?

Alloy according to Tom's post :)

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?

Oh yes I know :thumbsup:

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

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

finished 2nd & 6th in the A final

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

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. :lol::lol::lol:
