Centro T4.2 mid motor truck conversion

Not in use at this week’s Buggy World Championship but on show is Centro’s forthcoming conversion kit for the Team Associated’s T4.2 racing truck. The kit is based on the successful B4.2 mid-motor kit and offers a black anodised aluminium chassis, carbon fibre chassis stiffeners and a rear shock tower from the same material. Taken over from the buggy conversion are the rear composite bulkhead and the moulded gearbox that was introduced with the C4.2 kit. Different from the buggy kit the truck conversion allows for multiple battery layouts from stock as the carbon battery braces take saddle and shorty packs as well as the new ‘square’ packs introduced by Reedy. There is no word on a release date yet but all parts beside the rear body mounts look pretty final meaning the kit should hit stores soon.
