Some of the blame could be passed to some shops for not stocking the parts that is not down to Ansmann.
All hop-ups are available from Ansmann via your local shop .
The new 4 Wheel drive car X4 Pro will be available A pril/May time, Ansmann Racing UK will also be looking for drivers to sponsor for the racing 2010 season.

hmm i agree with chris, both my local shops have stopped stocking em due to to many returns and the quality, or lack of it!

Slighly off-topic reply on my part, so apologies, but i have to ask, does that go for any drivers? (i currently mostly race touring cars & 12th - even run an ARE-1 at club level on occasion & have done a little bit of off-road in the past if that helps), if so i'd like to put myself forward should Ansmann ever need touring car drivers - bearing in mind that the Mad-rat off-roaders are doing so well currently in the market, i suppose it won't be long until they put as much effort into electric tourers & release a decent one that can mix it at the big events with the Cyclone's & TC5's etc rather than being stuck in the TT-01 bracket.

i cannot get hold of one as a sponsored driver as i understand they haven't received a production sample from team c as of yet so it could be a while :thumbdown:

I hear the Blizzard Pro is actually short for Pro-Laps? I could be wrong. it might have been Pro-Blem.... I could have imagined it.:blush:

!sorry for being off topic!
Does anybody know, what is the equal number for a medium(600) Tamiya Damper Oil? It is the blue one. I got one and don't know how thick it is. Seems to be pretty thick

zagonielod 03-05-2010 01:45 PM

Ok. I got this. Maybe it will be helpful for others too
(sorry for not being 100% complete but I had to cut it out from a PDF )

Cheers. Not sure on the motor, probably a 6.5/8.5?

To calculate the gear ratio you do:
final drive ratio = (spur/pinion) x internal drive ratio

The gear ratio you use depends on both the motor (make and turns) and the track you will be racing on. If you use a Losi Xcelorin then an 8.5 will be would for a FDR of 9.0. If you use a faster motor you will need and smaller pinion and for a slower motor you could increase the pinion.
