Centro C4.1 Mise à jour

24/10/11

C'est avec une certaine frustration que nous avons rencontré un retard avec la sortie du très attendu Centro C4.1 kit de conversion mi moteur. A la fin de semaine dernière, tout était sur ​​la bonne voie pour nous de commencer à expédier hors du milieu de cette semaine. Toutefois, après avoir reçu le châssis principal, nous avons été obligés de les rejeter en raison d'une petite erreur dans l'usinage. Alors que la modification aurait pu être faite pour obtenir des kits libérés, nous avons estimé qu'il était préférable de rejeter et de nouveaux ont fabriqués. Un nouveau lot de châssis est actuellement en préparation, mais les délais se traduira par au moins un délai de 2 semaines . Nous partageons votre frustration, après avoir payé et reçu tous les autres composants que nous voulons obtenir les a expédiés à vous, mais c'est quelque chose qui était hors de notre contrôle. Comme geste de bonne volonté et un merci pour votre patience pendant ce délai, nous allons inclure gratuitement une série de pneus Fastrax Rippers Turf intérieur de la boîte de conversion pour le lot entier d'abord. Nous mettrons à jour notre site sous peu et notre page Facebook avec des images supplémentaires de pièces finies et des pièces option que nous avons maintenant disponibles pour que vous puissiez voir que tout est en place et très proche.

vraiment pas trés jolis pour un kit de convertion a 160 livre (plus cher en euros....), ils aurait pus se fouiller un peu plus pour le design du chose, je trouve le b4 original bien plus sympa..... et je ne regret absolument pas l'achat de mon dex 210......a 216 euros soit 50 roro de difference avec ce truc de "mise a jour" ou ya pas une piéce mecanique....cardan, diff, roulement.......

peut etre mais efficace et ta pas as mettre 229 euros pour le kit b4.1 + 189 euros pour le kit mid(soit 418 euros, plus cher qu'un 4x4), en plus pour un kit qui a l'air d'un proto fait dans le garage.... je ne critique pas les perf mais l'aspect esthetique de l'engin.....le 210 fait un minimum aboutit au niveau esthétique et tu peut le monter en rear et en mid (config 3 ou 4 pignon dans les deux cas) pour le méme prix......

le porte feuille a parler..... surtout pour une config a usage limiter herbe, moquette ou piste a fort grip (piste anglaise en gros).....

a titre perso, je prefére une carro de b4 , 210 ou 22 que celle du c4..... (en plus y on piquer le nom d'un chassis corally des année 90)

AE springs are very rarely ran these days especially on the front!

No...

We pretty much always use AE springs, for me most commonly blue front and silver rear, Phil, Neil and Bradders tend to use silver both ends. On a couple of tracks this year, Neil has used Yokomo black on the front which are a similar rate to AE silver but slightly longer and more progressive. Whatever you like to use on your B4/B4.1 will be a good starting point on your Centro.

One limitation with the AE springs is the variety in rates up front - it is quite a jump from blue to silver for example (.4 lb/in). I usually stick with blue because these are the most consistent spring I find, certainly on Astro/carpet or grass. The only time I have used Kyosho is on the clay for the Euros when I used yellow front.

The appeal of Kyosho springs is that they have a range of weights which are close together and enable fine tuning. It's fair to say some of the guys are persuing set ups using these but to say that AE are rarely used is wrong.

4543-moldedgearbox.jpg

For all Centro C4.1 converted Team Associated B4.1 owners we thought we would share an update on future developments. We are currently working on a moulded gearbox for summer release to be included in a C4.1 full car kit.....we will keep you posted on updates as they develop.

currently in CAD design. Other changes we are making to help bring the C4.1 out as a kit mean that this is not something that will be available in the immediate future. Estimate maybe around May probably once mould is made and samples tested.

Komet C4.1 chassis brace [€30]

If you are the proud owner of a C4.1 midmotor conversion kit for your associated B4.1, you probably noticed that the chassis has some unwanted flex in the servo/speedo area. Protect your chassis with the Komet-RC chassis braces.

The alu chassis of the C4.1 is prone to bending on impact. Especially in a head on collision, chances are pretty big that the front of the chassis will be bent or tweaked. This leads to poor handling, and it is very difficult to bend it back, so that it is truly flat again.

So it's better to prevent it from bending, which is exactly what these braces do. The will still allow for some torsional flex, so it will not drastically alter the car's handling. Most people use the c4.1 only on high bite surfaces, where a slightly stiffer car will be even better.

Komet C4.1 chassis brace Kit contents [€30]:

- 2 cnc milled epoxy braces

- 8 screws (4-40, 1/2inch flathead, black)

- 8 alu low profile black nuts

- 16 nylon washers

- 8 metal washers

- 1 drill to make the extra chassis holes

Characteristics:

Material: Epoxy

Epoxy is less stiff compared to carbon fibre, allowing for some flex. However it cannot bend like aluminium or brass, and it's lighter too. Wheight is important these days, but you don't want it to be on the sides of your car, as this slows down reactions, resulting in a slower car.

You can fine tune the flex:

- by altering the amount of washers under the braces (zero=maximum flex, 2=minimal flex)

- By removing the screws in between the nose and battery (2nd from the left on the picture)

- Optionally, you could even use O-rings instead of the nylon washers, for even different flex and dampening characteristics (not included).

Besides protecting your chassis, the braces also offer a solution to correctly center your lipo's. You may have noticed that your original battery U-shaped braces do not sit symmetrically on the chassis. That is because the holes drilled in the chassis are misaligned... The komet braces have slotted holes in these locations, so you can line them up correctly with the chassis.

Important note!

You do need to drill at least 2 extra holes into your chassis to attach the brace. In the picture below, these are marked with a red (*). This is easily done by attaching the brace to the chassis without any washers, and the 2 screws in the battery area. Then use the holes in the brace as a guide to drill the new chassis holes. Finally make the new holes countersunk at the bottom of the chassis and you're done. Note that the middle holes are in fact optional, if you leave the brace unattached there, it will generate a bit more flex.

You may also notice some extra material at the back of the braces. This is to make them ready for another product in the making, that allows you to move your lipo's further back 10mm. This is important on low grip surfaces, but it will need another solution to retain the battery, which Komet-RC will also improve. More on this topic later!
