1. Why did they all "Leave"? 2. Who do you turn to for technical advice (or development) or setup support if the chassis has none of the "best" drivers using it? Ansmann = NOT serious about the racer! |

2. We the ansmann drivers support each other, pass idea's around the pits and on here Ansmann might not be but we as ansmann drivers ARE.. :thumbsup::thumbsup: |
Having driven the ansmann cars for a year and a bit ive gotten to know them pretty well... Definately not the best driver out there but happy to answer anyones questions as i know the cars very well as do many of the other guys on here...
May not have any national A finalists but id like to think some of us other team drivers are just as good with regards to giving advice :thumbsup: |
Im driving the X8 and X2C this year at lots of race meetings big and small,
i will echo whats been said, us team drivers do take our racing seriously, but also we try to have fun and a laugh |
How can you say Ansmann "aren't interested in racing".. if they weren't interested why have the put a 2012 team together & seem to be winning loads in Europe? Just because the Woods & the Moss's have left, doesn't mean they don't still have a team.. they do, it's just the team has been picked from team drivers from all abilities & the ones who remain most active are not the people who win A-finals are big events all the time.
This is just my own opinion, but at the end of the day it's about getting the car seen by people who want to race at clubs or come into the hobby & haven't got £400 to spend on a Durango or Losi etc & not just about who has their team drivers names in RRCi the most as let's face it, the club scene is where Ansmann are pointing until they get established & taken seriously as a race team - a bit like Tamiya, most people i know from RC all say they started buying budget priced Tamiya's as that is the name people trust, Ansmann it seems want a piece of that pie as let's face it, you are looking at nearly £200 just to buy a basic Tamiya buggy & put it together these days, Ansmann do the lot with an RTR brushed mad-rat starting from about £120 (less if you shop around) & what are the kids going to want, a £200 "racing" car that you can't really race as it's just not competitive unless you are club racing among similar cars or a £120 car that with the right tackle can be just as competitive as anything you see at a national? Shaun seems to know what he is doing & i'm sure has a plan.. at the end of the day it's about money for him & if club racers are buying cars & introducing new racers to the brand & they are buying cars on the strength of it i'm sure that is what he wants.. word of mouth to promote the brand & good sales each year rather than a trophy cabinet full of shining cups, but no money in the bank account to show for it. Ansmann are still a new brand in the RC game & a new team, it's not all going to be trophies & a-finals until the team has settled down for a couple of years & bedded in & it's the same story when the Losi's & Associated 1st came onto the market & put teams together to represent the brand i'm sure they had similar problems getting their brand to be taken seriously. Soap box now put away. |
just a quick question, how do you get noticed as a good driver and get sponsored?

To me a lot of people see sponsorship as a way of getting something for nothing, me personally i see it as a way of helping someone out by looking after your sponsors so your sponsor (or whoever name you have on the car) looks after you. It's not sponsorship, but a means of support or a helping hand. |
