Im just putting it out there but why buy a RM car when most of us already have a b4.2? If you need a car for Astro or high grip situations you just use the MM car? I just cant justify buying 2 cars for one class. My stance was make a car that can be converted but I admit I lost.
So Im taking that approach What do you think? Just creating dialogue

When I am thinking of switching cars, I like to keep my current car, equip and setup the new car and compare them. Check consistency and lap times. I have put a 17.5 in both cars and run one in mod and the other in stock just to compare the cars on the same race night and hopefully the same race conditions. Then, I sell the car I like the least. I will be doing the same thing with the B5 RM. I plan to keep my current car and compare it to the B5 RM. If I really like the New B5, I might convert my current car to MM and play with it until the B5 MM comes out and compare them again. I will probably just take the electronics out of my wheeler, so I wont need to drop cash on additional electronics and transponders.

im with ya. when the t4.2 came out was thinking bout getting one to replace my t4.1 with big bore springs and avid steering... in the end i just put on the gulwing arms and towers, and rear hex on my 4.1.

now when the t5 comes out i will get one. biggest thing is the balance with saddles and v2 big bores. ill finally make the switch.

Nobody is forcing you to buy the new car and the B4.2 I think would be supported for a while.

The outdoor track I run at changes a lot from dusty to no dust. I'm tempted to get the MM because I do sometimes travel clay tracks in the states. however RM is old reliable. I could keep the .2 but if I get the MM and it doesn't work at the tracks i usually run at, it's hard to justify that.

Probably not ready in time. Or in reality, why release something new when the current one was tops (as far as WC's go)?

Maybe because it wasn't complete...the Centro was a test mule for AE, never intended to be a running line car.

For all of you on tight budgets, just pickup a lightly used car, that has already mostly depreciated. If you dont like the car, just resell it and very little loss. The Rm is 239. After free shipping and the tower coupon, your looking at around $205. So the rctech price on lightly used rollers should be $160-175. You can run the car for a month and probably resell it for about the same price. I have bought several 1-2 week old cars in pristine condition with upgrades at a great savings. These cars depreciate like mad. Some people will have to have and built the car when it drops. Some will not like it and sell right away before the demand drops off. You can buy these for cheap. Plus, most of these people will put the Ti turnbuckles on the car right away and sell it that way.

I don't see what the big deal is. I bought the Schumacher SV2 when it first came out... this is when i decided to start racing again so clay tracks and tires where all new to me. I always ran on loamy tracks back when the rc10 gold pan was new.

Anyhow, I had zero problems with traction, I did however have problems with not enough steering. So I would ask people for help and all I would hear is "Mid motor won't work, not enough rear traction." I was like I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH STEERING!

... this was coming from people that had never ran a mid motor car... just what they "read" on the internet.

AE also sees the tide of SCT racers getting into buggy. They priced this thing to be the go-to car for them. Chances are this won't be much, if any faster on the track than the B4.2 but for the $$, it's an easy choice to make over the competitors out there. This is coming from a guy who currently owns no AE products.

why no rear shots of the 'm' ?

Yeha, there are no rear or bottom shots. Why? I dunno. Bottom is probably uninteresting and rear? Those are only normally listed if there is something interesting to see. Something different that whats already on the market. Like the slipped adjustment on the durango or serpent. Or if your trying to show off your spring steel cva bones like the serpent
