Default Anderson Racing MR4?

I saw this 1/18th scale buggy in Waigo Hobby today in Shanghai but was not sure what it was so was worried I might not be able to get spares in the UK. Is it a badged up something else? FTX? LRP?

I am not 1/18th expert.

It was about £50 (assembled kit and motor), no other electrics, has some alloy parts and looked dead cute.

I thought it was the original version of the blaze type vehicles of which there are many (lrp, yokomo, duratrax, ftx) but I could be wrong

As far as I can remember the MR4 is the on-road/rally micro car from Anderson?

If so, ive never seen or heard of one in the UK ever :/

It's a buggy so I guess Neil got it wrong and he's talking about the MB4 then? - i just had a look and I'm pretty sure this is the same as the FTX Blaze style buggies?

the LRP Shark is a re-badged Anderson MB4 truggy. It has Anderson on the manual/box!

The MB4 is identical to a Blaze, all FTX parts will fit. Better to get the truggy ST version though, as that is what everyone races.

Anderson are the people who make the things, it is rumoured design was "assisted by Yokomo" and then it is sold all over the world as all the different brands - Anderson - Far East, Yokomo - Japan only, LRP - Europe, FTX - UK only, Duratrax - USA etc.

Without Anderson we would have no Shark or Blaze
