I think one of the reasons Aero use a plastic chassis is it is the only cost efective way to mold sompthing that complex,I suppose they could have used graphite like the losi but I am no expert. but like has already been said the most prefer the B4 with plastic and I have never heard anyone say it week.I think you can get Info on the Aero from there web site, think there is a link on here somewere.

530 Euro's apparently, thats very pricey, although I guess their being hit by the recent change in the exchange rate!

£400 for a kit though, ouch, does anyone more in the know than me have reasons to think this car will be a bit special, it won last seasons nationals didn't it, are some top guys running it again this year?

All i know is Kev Lee is running it as a team driver in the uk. I assume the team will be small due to it being a small company, like xfactory.

you are also right the car did win last years nationals

You will see this car very shortly, and you will not be dissapointed.

If you have a look through http://www.aeroracing.eu at some of the news reports you will find some pictures of the parts. I think there are some in this section on oOple too.
