mad rat or xpro
 

i am looking to get my first ever new rc car
after seeing how a macnum handles our track i am thinking of going ansmann

i already own a converted lightning 10b so have a ezrun 60a esc and 5.5t motor

is the x pro worth the extra doller or should i upgrade as things break?

thanks mike

the only real upgrades the madrat needs are alloy shocks and a bearing set.

a pair of second hand B4 shocks are ideal and should work out a bit cheaper than the X-pro.
Just depends on your budget really. If you can afford an X-pro then get one as it has a few extra upgrades on it that make it a better all round package.

With JE Spares selling the X Pro for £80, it's a great deal over the Mad Rat - bearings, turnbuckles, motor plate and shocks add up to far more than £30 of upgrades.

Yep, for £80 Get the xpro, as said, bearings are £10, shocks around £30 then turnbuckles another £15-£20...

Plus you can choose your own paint scheme

Yes the X pro it's better. And you can find setup with the good shocks.

thanks for the advice the x pro looks like the one.

as our track is outdoors my electric is going into storage for the winter whilst i race my 1/8th nitro

is there a new version of the x pro expected soon i should hold out for?

thanks again mike

wow, didn't realise it had dropped to £80!! i thought it was still £130 ish!
d'oh!

For the moment no new car.
One middle motor will be arrived but we don't know when. And I'm sur it's the best for indoor race.

The X pro will arrived with more option and the name will be X2 TE (Team Edition). This will be to by Ansmann but no news, and i don't see her in UK , germany or france.

The X pro is a really good car
