You get a lot of car for the money, but don't be fooled into thinking it is a 'race spec' kit.

a pro version mad-rat out of the box also works, the difference is the Mad rat is a car you can tune in your own time. the B4 i'm not disputing is a very good car, however even the best AE kits you can end up spending extra dosh on factory team parts & the like to tune them or upgrade them to the spec you want & the costs of doing this could be as expensive as hopping up a rat.
Think of it this way, Tamiya have for years been making a tidy sum from their entry level cars & many of the RCers from my generation started on Tamiya's to learn the craft & part of the craft is learning what performance or strength changes the hop-ups can make, so you gain skills. Ansmann are doing much the same with the rat.. the difference is an experienced RCer can pick a rat off the shelf & grid up with it, for a fraction of the cost
