J'ai demandé pour importer mais ça ne va pas être possible

Ne reste plus qu'à attendre l'option CML, ça arrive bientôt; Ce n'est d'ailleurs pas si simple, car si trop rigide, l'auto ne tient plus

Currently being tested by some team drivers are these carbon chassis side stiffeners. We are testing some in carbon and aluminium to gauge possible effects to the race handling as in prototype testing stiffer material chassis' were not as fast.

The brace fits under a smaller left and right front assembly post.

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.

Having sold out of our first run of conversion kits, a new batch is under production for those still itching to convert their B4.1 and gain the Unfair Advantage.

Illuzion Centro C4.1 Finnisher Body

JConcepts hit the ground in Vaasa, Finland with an all new body design specifically for the IFMAR World Championships. Cleverly named, Finnisher, the unique design quickly rose to the top of the field during competition and proved effective on the ground and in the air. Designed with aspects learned from the Punisher line of bodies, the Finnisher provides an even more aggressive look with included details which remain crucial to performance. The Centro C4.1 Finnisher body is a drop fit for the popular mid-motor Associated B4.1 conversion kit.

The C4.1,developed specifically for high traction conditions, has been an immediate hit on conditions including grass, astro-turf and carpet. With the evolution of multi-surface racing, including complex circuits combining more aggressive jump transitions and extremely high-speed corners, JConcepts incorporated many features which provide several benefits in the most critical situations.

Increased windshield angle provides a steady force upfront during outdoor mid-flight wind gusts on large jumps and obstacles. Forward cab placement changes performance /visible bias which helps steering rotation in low traction corners and speeds up the transition for nimble handling. The side-pods have been simplified and JC chamfered to remove unwanted changes in height to neutralize the at-speed handling. A scoop has been incorporated into the body near the motor to increase airflow. The chassis to body fit has been tightened up and with the addition of hook and loop tape (not included) eliminates empty voids that contribute to mid-flight directional changes. The rear of the cab has a new step feature which allows the placement of a secondary side window and also a louver which can be trimmed to allow air to escape at the top of the body.

In addition to the newly designed body, JConcepts has included 2 of the latest 6.5″ wide Hi-Clearance flat rear wings used around the world.

This is a BullDog Clear Body for the CML Centro C4.1 Buggy Conversion. Pro-Line understands how bodies affect performance, and with the C4.1 already dominating the Euro style Astro-turf, grass and indoor carpet tracks, Pro-Line has taken performance to an even higher level with the 2012 C4.1 Bulldog Body. This specially designed body wraps perfectly around the extremely narrow and sleek chassis featured on the C4.1 and completely clears the mid-motor transmission in the rear. Great care was taken in refining the BullDog design for 2012 to create even more stability with enhanced steering to gain an advantage on the track. The windshield is steeper to create more down force over the front wheels and the roof ridges have been raised to channel the air flow over the middle of the body for increased high-speed stability. The roof has been lowered in the rear and fins have been added to achieve stable air flow over the body. The fins also add rigidity to the body to increase aerodynamic efficiency. This is a must have body for the new Centro C4.1 Buggy Conversion!

What is the Centro C4.1? Read Below:

Based on the multiple World Championship winning Team Associated B4.1, the Centro converts the transmission to mid-motor and has been developed with the sole aim of continuing to beat the competition, particularly on higher grip tracks such as Astro-turf, grass and even indoor carpet and mixed surface.

Using an ultra slim black anodized chassis for saddle pack or ‘shorty’ Li-po cells, the C4.1 utilizes the race proven B4.1 suspension components and geometry to tame any track. The gearbox has four internal gears to maximize the mid-motor configuration, with the casing itself machined from delrin. The custom made rear hinge-pin mounts have the option of one or two degrees anti-squat.

This is the NEW 3.2mm chassis as used by Factory Associated drivers Neil Cragg and Paul Bradby

Special 3.2mm laminated carbon, that has enough flex to be great over bumpy sections and jumps, stiff enough to allow the suspension to do the work but without the risk of tweaking or distortion. Chamfered rear section for clearance of the wishbones as well as milled lower sections for the gearbox and motor to sit low. Front kick up all built in to the carbon fibre.......

Montage, préparation et essai du Centro C4.1.

Introduction.

Le Centro C4.1 n'est pas une auto à part entière, mais un kit de transformation d'origine anglaise destiné au Team Associated B4.1 commercialisé par CML Distribution.

Si les premiers prototypes datent d'octobre 2010, les premières photos visibles des prototypes du C4.1 sont apparues en avril 2011. Le kit de transformation ne sera finalement disponible que mi-novembre 2011, sa sortie ayant été retardée plusieurs fois.

Le kit en test avait été acheté en janvier 2012, il est donc possible que certaines choses aient pu évoluer depuis sur les kits actuellement en vente.

C41rearsuspensionbraceCreamExtreme.jpg

Machined from High tensile grade aluminium, and including pivoting ball joints. A direct replacement for the original parts with 1 and 2 degree off sets. A light modification to the chassis will be needed to clear the beefed up back end, But it's only a few seconds with a file or a dremel. Hope you like them...

A few picture of it installed on Chris Evison's car..

Just to clear things up, THe mod is just the 2 chamfers on the edge, Not the slot in the middle. This is a Tony Parr chassis and the slot is for a different mod I belive.

Centro C4.1 +8mm Extended Hard Chassis with X-brace

des petites nouveautés sur le c4.1

img1612er.jpg

Following extensive testing by our team drivers, Centro have released the eagerly anticipated lengthened chassis for the Centro C4.1 car. An extra 8mm has been added in length which refines the handling, giving more stability and a better balance. The material has also been changed to a harder compound with the overall result giving faster lap times with more consistency.

To compliment the chassis, the battery brace has been re-designed to account for the extra length. As well as the option to move the original fitting for saddle pack cells into a forward or rearward position, the brace is now wider and longer to allow for ‘Shorty’ packs to also be fitted, either across the chassis or lengthways to give the racer increased options for chassis layout and weight distribution.

All the original Centro parts will fit this chassis/battery brace so nothing else extra is needed.
