I think what they are referring to is all the new parts coming from TeamC, for example the new CF front plate. I have not seen Ansmann get any of the new parts in the last 3-4 months and their blog has been awfully quiet also. There has also been a lot of running changes as the TeamC TC02 Evo (also no talk from Ansmann that they will also have the Evo) has come out which is quite a different car from the first TC02, which the Ansmann is based on.
Also AR:s newest recruitments bring in a lot of experience from the RTR field but maybe not so much from the racing field? Maybe Ansmann is going back to what they know best, rebranding and selling RTR cars? Rebranding is Ansmanns bread and butter and the RC division is just a very small part of the Ansmann corporation.
Ansmann will of course support their current line of cars as they are a reputable company and have shown that they have the volumes and logistics to keep parts in stock. But I fear they will not be able to provide the upgrades and R&D development that the manufacturer is putting out for the racers in the long run.
