Chris maybe it is a copy of a Team Asoci-osho-osi BXXX6 car!!!
I have to say I like too (yes I know we are not stocking it at present) but does not mean to say I dont like it. I will add though the copying is irrelavent as said everywhere already, they all do it, no R/C company doesnt copy somwhere down the line, some are just more blatant than others, but what
will be the real test for the car will be the quality of the materials used for strength and durabilty etc as well as the ongoing supply of regular spares and tuning parts and support.
We have seen many companies come and go over the years who "dabble" in the off road market and then dis-appear from it for varying reasons (Tomy, Traxxas, Duratrax, Academy [to a point], MRC etc) some of the cars were good others were made of "cheese" because the one thing Ansmann wont have is a team of developers (the likes of Gil Losi, Cliff Lett etc) who are all highly skilled (and well paid too) at designing and developing R/C cars for optimum performance.
The R + D work is what makes the brands like Losi, Associated, X-factory, Kyosho more money to buy, but you do get the finished article with ongoing development, feedback from the worlds best drivers etc as a result. Lets be honest I dont think Ansmann (at present at least) are heading this way, but the car will take what they think are the best attributes of what these "other" companies have already come up with and offer it (because they can) at a great price.........
