Sent 'em an email - will see what they say (no, not the digital camera company haha)

I reckon you should contact them Jimmy, tell them you intend to do a review and see what they can do to help. For a new brand to break into the 2wd market, a little oOple review could help them no end (as long as the car is good obviously!!).:thumbsup:

I know there is a UK section, one of the sales reps is Jamie Thomas and is down Swansea way, can't remember his email though.

DCM 17-02-2009 03:11 PM

60 euros for a basic kit, 130euros for the 'pro' kit.

jimmy 17-02-2009 03:21 PM

Where did you find that?

DCM 17-02-2009 03:26 PM

German model shoop (Modelbau) but not sure if they are in stock, as no image, just a price listing, but even at $130euro, if it is half decent, should be good!!!

"1:10 2WD EP Buggy Mad Council R"

:) I had forgotten that Rathaus was the town hall in German :thumbsup:

I really hope this is a good alternative 2wd buggy for beginners, wonder if they will do a RTR with the ansmann brushless system.

If they come in at a decent price I might just pick one up to have a little bash with them. They look well thought out and those cvds look super beefy!

From the pictures it looks like this will be a budget racer that will come with a ball differential. There's a few AE/Losi clones out there in the budget bracket and most of them are let down with the only differential option of a geared fixed ratio item.

The MadRat looks quite good.

now i've been able to see all the pics posted (they don't show on my work PC for some reason), it is just a half price RB5!! It is practically identical. As long and the plastic isn't made out of chocolate and the alloy isn't made out of cheese it should be a seriously capable regional level car, and in the right hands could make a decent stab at nationals.

Hmm, on Ansmann's website, there are 3, and the pro version (the others being basic and rtr) is €150. By the time someone imports it and does the usual UK pricing, this is gonna be pretty expensive isn't it at todays exchange rates?

How much do B4FT's go for in the shops?

Chris Ward 19-02-2009 11:03 AM

TBH I would rather have a Team B4 at that money......its is proven and not a lot more in cost.

Your right, but something different is always tempting!! This looks ok enough for me to be interested!

sosidge 19-02-2009 12:04 PM

If the pound hadn't fallen so hard against the Euro this would have been a £99 kit...

RogerM 19-02-2009 12:13 PM

Comparing it to the B4 is all well and good but not everybody likes the B4 ....
