Front shock tower looks like the Hotbodies car. Frame style.

Surely its going to be a centro that been "associatedized" (sorry have no better word for the analogy) as was the B44 with the BJ4. Obviously with some tweaks so there is cross compatibility with the B44 platform and "look" of associated now.

I cant imagine them totally redesigning a mid motor car based on how amazingly popular and well designed/engineered the C4 is and how ridiculously well it goes in the hands of the worlds best and average racers alike.

Just what i reckon anyway!

Least it looks like the big bores stay the same one thing that carries over at least, so close to c4.2 release some same parts would be a bonus and if you own 44.2 again its frw things the same

I could be wrong but I am expecting the M to look a lot like a Centro under that shell......with a new front end obviously.

Nice and a lot cheaper than a kit and a conversion kit
!I like that they have gone to a dedicated mid and a rear motored car.

Least they seem to have got rid of the bakelite chassis. Just hope the rest of the plastics are improved, plastics have moved on since the 80s............

(Is it still imperial as well?)

lol that MM looks just like a yokomo, but the RM looks interesting, and that ridiculous lipo

It does look interesting I have to say, but the imperial screws are a pain, I wonder if they have updated and or beefed up the plastics

I like that the MM has a alu chassis

I would imagine the screws are still imperial as thats the c4.2 gearbox
And the shape of the chassis looks very centro
Despite me wanting one i shall keep my centro and try and put a b5 front end on it because i cant see it being a improvement over the centro on high grip
They need a b5f for that
