I hope it comes untapped and with a full set of SAE and Metric hardware so it will be up to the builder to choose.

Fair point. The AE guys cleaned up in 2wd and none made the A in 4wd.

That will change next year as the world's are back on dirt.

Be interesting to see the size of the market for people racing on dirt vs people racing on carpet etc.

But with the recent change in direction for a lot of tracks going to carpet, Associated can't dismiss this market. It's been proven time and time again that the B44.3 isn't that great on carpet/astro, so they have to make improvements to be competitive on this surface. When the B6 came out, they said they'd have more of a presence at the European races. It doesn't make sense for them to be competitive with the 2wd and just stack up L's in 4wd. They have to have a car that is adaptable to be competitive on any track. Probably what's taking so long.

The light grey spur at the front of the car says Schumacher CAT 3000... maybe?
