If it's April for the MM at least all the people with Centro's won't be fire bombing AE with them.

I'm willing to bet they are using Centro's molds for the 4 gear tranny and other plastics.

It'll be interesting when they release some more details. I'm curious to see what it will take to convert the x6 cubed to handle the newer parts for the front suspension and such.

I'll wait to see what does the talking on the track.

I don't run AE, but still interested.

On high grip rudeBits DB2 I expect will be quicker than both

What's the relationship between Associated and CML? Do we expect them to use the same parts, same engineer? Or are they more partner company's?

Well, I got my B5M built. I decided to use the factory paint job in new colors. I'll let you know how it drives after I get it tested this weekend.

Also, I noticed they say it shares "nearly 90% of the parts", not 90% of the parts. Kind of a strange way to say it.

Well, 60% of the time, it works every time.

It's because someone will compare all the parts and then sue them or something silly because it's actually 89% of the parts.

We're pretty tolerant BUT some language obviously shouldn't be posted. Thank you

It's worded like that to spark interest in buying a RM and test it, if conditions call for a MM then you buy "almost" 10% of parts, that may equal half total price, and AE makes more money.
I think I see adjustable trailing hubs.
