Bit D4, bit B-Maxx, bit Lazer. But then like the Madrat I expected it would be similar to other cars not a copy. The Madrat isn't a B4 clone, its more RB5 than B4 but different from both.

Team C don't clone - they simply study the competition and take the best bits (best for them I might add - features like the plastic chassis may be more about production costs than performance). The result is not original, but its also not identical either.

My question is whether Ansmann would sell this car here. It doesn't really have a place in their range being a pretty high end car, and a cheaper version would clash with the Master Smacker. The X-Pro hasn't been a success for them (Madrats sell well but few people want to pay the asking price for an X-Pro when a used B4 costs less and a new one not much more) so it seems unlikely they would be interested in a 4wd equivalent.
