You've answered your own question there.
The B4 has not been replaced until now because Associated haven't needed to replace it. Why go to the vast expense of developing and tooling up a new car when your current car is still winning and still selling loads of kits.
Now the others have caught up, and mid motor cars are starting to appear in the US, Associated has to keep up with everyone else and bring out new cars.
No doubt the B4 RTR will still be around for some time as well.
