If they counted all screws as individual parts my TC is 90% identical to my 2wd buggy

CML is AE's distributing partner in the UK. I think the Centro is Drescher's baby. With the limited different parts I'm sure they did their own drawings and perhaps had TT do the production/mold work. (all opinion)

I really hope AE does like all the other new cars that come out.... Not have any parts available, so if it breaks you feel the ultimate frustration. Thats my favorite thing about buying a new kit.

FEATURES:
Chassis: Composite tub type
Drive: Rear wheel
Transmission:
Note the Chassis type and the fact that the transmission ratio is not listed. Hmmmm...

I actually don't mind buying a few hopups from the start, so I'm glad to see the price is sub $300.

Very good price point! Even if it requires a couple hopups it is still priced below the comp.

So we spent 199.99 for a conversion, and we can get a new B5 for 260?

If this pricing is now correct, those are very fair prices. Im thinking they wont be the factory team kit but if they are like the 4x4 sc truck when it was released then have an upgrade kit then that might me ok.
