It is a Centro conversion for the B4 series of cars, It is manufactured by CML which is AE's european distributor. Cav, Kody and Brent all ran them at one of the EOS races in germany in april.

What's your opinion. Is that gonna be the worlds setup or will AE come out with something? I'm personally not a big fan of all this super high grip stuff. Might as well go run slot cars

I have no idea...i am not affiliated with AE and personally i think its b/s to add sugar to the track to increase traction. I feel that the warm up race should have been used to judge what type of tire works the best on the surface...they picked a tire for the warm up race and it looked pretty horrible until they added all the sugar. In one video Maifield was doing donuts at the end of the straightaway, lol. AMain made it sound like the drivers were a bunch of crybabies and they demanded that something be done to the track. They should have allowed a tire that actually works.

I ran with my buggy tonight with the 3 hole 1.4 AE pistons and I was REALLY impressed. I put 35f and 32.5r and it was golden! The track was awesome but with only a few guys showing up we just played. The end of the indoor season sucks!
This fall is gonna rock!

If someone has a link to the pre sugar video of Maifield I would like to see it, I cannot find it.

I do not think AE will come out with something new just yet, but I think the sugar was what they had to do. All the manufactures voted on it, so that is what they are running.

Looking for a little advice. Ran the B4.2 tonight forthe first time on clay and the car had a bit of push. I am running the box stock set up with the exception of carbon top plate and u brace. I switched to 27.5 rear oil w/ 30 in the front, black front springs, white rear springs and 1.6 2 hole pistons front and rear. Any thoughts to help get rid of the push?

Ran a few different sets of clay front tires with the same results.

After several adjustments I still had a ton of push, so I got annoyed and bought a RB6 problem solved

Mostly mid corner, coming on throttle and sometimes entering the corner without throttle. I found myself using more brake to get the rear end to swing around. This is only in 180* turns. 90* turns it does not seem as bad. I am running 17.5 blinky so momentum is a premium for some of the bigger jumps out of the turns.

Don't listen to this guy. A car isn't going to make or break your driving. If your not super fast with a b4...the rb6 isn't going to make you super fast either.

Right now there are too many options as to why your car isn't turning. A couple of the easiest adjustments to check is your ride height and to check the rebound in your shocks. Also make sure your diff is good and that your slipper is adjusted right.

If all that is perfect....look at local fast guys for setup. I cannot stress this enough! What may work at my home track may not work at yours. And of course....Tires,tires,tires! Without the right tires...no chassis tuning will make a difference.
