Another mention is the Sakura Zero S - it's probably on a par with the Mi1 and TA05R at least, but Muchmore are flogging them for £100. It's a low-budget version of the Zero, which is about on a par with the better TCs, and parts are interchangeable with it.
The main differences from the Ansmann and basic Tamiyas are belt drive and pinions - Sakura ships with a 48dp spur gear, but that's easily changed to 64dp or even metric pitch, depending on what pinions you have/prefer.
Would need a shell and electrics, but true of most TC kits.
