1/10th Electric Buying Advice

[saxosim]

Hi All,

I was just looking for some advice please, I am looking for a cheap 1/10 electric buggy that I can use to race in the winter at my local club which does indoor racing and I just wandered if anyone had come across or tried the Ansmann Mud Rat and what are they like.

They seem amazingly cheap at £95 ready to run so honest opinions please as I don't want to throw loads of money into electric it is just for me to learn and practice with over the winter until I am back out on the track with my Losi nitro buggy.

Thanks or as an alternative am I best putting the same money into a second hand Associated B4 through Fleabay etc?

I already have a Spektrum DX3 which I use with my nitro buggy so i assume I can use this with the second model memory and spare receiver with the electric buggy? I would probably use this if possible to replce the unit which comes with the Ansmann etc

Thanks please let me know any advice greatly received

Regards
Simon

i run the madrat and it is a great car there is 2 flaws with it one is the plastic shocks the tops tend to pop off but you can glue them on the other is the t peice but again the revised part is only about £4 and then it is a great car to learn with

do you mind me asking what track you want to go to?

Which tracks are you running your b4 and madrat at? Is it an indoor or outdoor venue? I'm interested to see which tracks suited the madrat more than the B4.

The B4 is far and away the better car - but is more money.
The madrat, above considered, is good for the money.
A used B4 may be a good option?
