That's a great question. I nominate you, but I would be happy to do it as well.

After really enhancing the picture, it looks like they kept the blue hardware, and the front tires are grass/carpet tires probably meaning, MM.

Hoping the c4.2 body will work.

I had an interesting thought after conecting some dots. A few of the references about the new car (b5?) seem to indicate a mm car. A few weeks ago someone from xfactory (youngchaz?, speedydad?) made a comment about something really big coming for xfactory. I wonder if the AE car is the cubed re-worked to fit what AE wants? It would not be the 1st time AE has done this (bj4-b44) for a race design, & fits what they have done recently (several of the new cars launched last year were tt designs rebadged).

Just some food for thought with the disaclaimer that I have no inside info or conections to anyone from xfactory or AE.

Upon further examination and enhancement, there appears to be 2 inner hinge pin mount locations.

Definitely gull wing arms, new front tower.
Front shocks look a bit different.
The camber links have been lifted via something anodized blue

Nothing that I know of or have heard from Chazz or Paul about

Looks like there potentially are two hinge pin locations.

That would be like the YOK so you could run a narrow front end ! What does the gullwing front arms give you ? or does it mean you can run a lower front tower ?

Maybe it's an inboard VLA? If it's a pivot block with two sets of holes then I hope the material is very strong.

It'll be interesting to see what they come up with. The B4 was very unconventional when it arrived as was the more recent TLR22.

Now that we've seen a grainy, dark partial "full frontal",

Which is better RC10B5 or TLR 22?...lol

Sorry, had to do it. Lol

This may be the first of 10000 times this question will be asked.
