Rc10b5m champions edition.

I may have missed the point here but they seem too be releasing a car to comemerate a win where a different car was used ?.

Ade i nearly spat my coffee out at work when i read this release plan lol!
They intend to release a car, that wasnt used, to celebrate the Worlds win!
So, its a total cop out IMO, sure you get a lot in the box, but, not a car that dominated the Yatabe Arena high grip layout!
So, they beat Yokomo and Xrays dedicated high grip cars, and, the lesser mortals, wont get the chance to drive it, poo pants i cry!
Then again, they may decide to rake in more coin next year and release it when they manage to sell off all the surplus std B5M transmission lol!

Brilliant but not totally unexpected. The Associated race team did a great job and won the Worlds when a few thought they might struggle. They then threw that win over to the marketing department and said "hey, sell some cars on the back of that, guys". I don't think Associated are the only company who would have been in this position.

Nicely blinged up car if you want an Associated car. Be interesting to see how it sells against the other new and revised cars coming out over the next couple of months.

Red RC are calling it a limited edition which I guess to mean commemorative, so buy it and shelf it don't build it and if you do only spray it in Rivkins colours, dig it out in 20years and it might be worth something. As a production car it's nothing more than a collection of all the bits you can already buy and probably already have if you own a B5M.

Seems like a massive missed opportunity to release a Worlds Edition or just an Up yours to Europe and astro turf, I like Cav's comment of you can go to any track in the world and have the best of the best, that would be any track apart from Yatabe Arena where you need a different car!!!

Come on where's the 3 gear low COG box, the rear hubs, the caster blocks, carbon rear shock tower and the what ever the hell was going on with not having a front hinge pin brace?

But it's the champ edition not the worlds edition!!
Maybe that's being released next year
