So the wheel sits too wide as well as the axles? Any aftermarket hexes which sort the wheel problem, or do you file down the hex width?

Bit poor really, but then again Yokomo managed to forget to make the Bmax axles fit too so they are not alone!!

3000 units in stock for Europe??? Jeez!

i hope Ansmann take more notice of this buggy than they did with the Hurrax 1/5 they marketed recently, it took ages to get the faults and upgrades sorted by which time the model as a racer was a dead/joke, this is all thats putting me off the pro as its very closely priced to the stealth which is readily avaliable for 139

[Nick Goodall]

It will soon be sorted i'm sure of it, sounds like the front Axles aren't far off at all - at least in the mean time there's obviously a quick easy way to get it sorted.

Re the T-Piece that is currently being drawn up as a Carbon fibre option which shouldn't be too expensive, that's really the only two gripes i've heard of on the car so it's not looking bad considering people would have no doubt give it a fairly hard time with all the power available in Lipo & Brushless form!

I hope to be running mine within a week and will be doing some thorough testing on various surfaces.

it is an option to do, to give you clearance, and really, could be done with machining/cnc parts and not having to make new moulds. If you move the wheels in, you are assured clearance, plus you can then reduce the axle length to ensure clearance too.

I can assure you Ansmann really will take more notice of their new 1/10 cars compared to the Hurrax. For one they are Ansmann branded cars and not a distribution, which gives us a lot more leverage in changing/modifing design aspects.

Just out of interest what method do you send out your kits is it next day service? cheers still thinking of getting one in some form or another

[Chrislong]

If it was just axles, then itd be a tiny issue and users will just need to know that they need filing. But the wheels being too wide isn't right, so however it is fixed they may aswell resolve the axles.

Other cars do it too, such as the Cat SX when using 2mm spacing up front like many do. Most of us have a dremel and just fix it.

This car is potentially going to be very popular, im really pleased it is out, the finishing touches make all the difference and the 1st time racer needs it to be right straight out of the box really.

[DCM]

to be honest, I never even thought of measuring it.

How much out were they, Chris?

[Chrislong]

Im not sure, it can't be much if Kyosho wheels fixes it.

Spence, are you reading this - can you measure your girth with Kyosho wheels on, and then with Ansmann wheels on?

[DCM]

could it be that the Kyoshos wheels have a deeper off-set then??

I was toying with Associated steering parts, might even be worth the caster blocks too...

careful!!

[Jez]

just like to jump in here.the car was running kyosho plastic hexes and cut down academy 4wd front rims.i debuted this exact car at robin hood last week and it passed scrutineering on all heats and final.question,how should any car be placed in box and what should be able to be done in the box?are all boxes measured to ensure correct dimensions from meeting to meeting.basically how come my car fit in n/e regional box but not nationals?any body help before i get refused entry at this weekends meet at batley?ta jez.

[carty]

how did the car perform? as ive just taken a leap of faith and ordered one

not actually there,just lent the car out,but went ok at york,didnt break a thin and i was in heats/final with a right bunch of animals????ta jez.

[Chrislong]

Hey Jez, that is strange. The boxes should all be the same. I do know the regional box is wooden, but the national box is alloy - so perhaps the wooden box is tired now? I dunno, only guessing.

The car should fit in the box and not drag against the sides at any point through the cars suspension travel. For example, if you put your car in and press the shocks down, and pull it up to wishbones level (widest point) it should fit. If you come to lift your car out and it brings the box with it - its too wide. LOL.

As the tyre edge is usually the widest point, its safe to say the car should rattle a little in the box and not touch both sides at once. The tyre being rubber will naturally make them want to lift the box if both sides touch.

[Spencer Mulcahy]

The car did feel realy good to drive was quite poistive abd direct I didnt know the car was not standard at the front so that may be the problem. It did land down on the back after a big jump which broke it (sorry Jez) so if they sort out this problem with the Tplate then it will be a well worth the money. Thanks again Jez for lending it to me. I did qualify in the bottom final after a few bad runs setting it up but buy leg 4 and the final it was very good finishing second.

Unfortunatly it isnt down to TeamC to change anything as they are just a distributor in the far east, it needs to be directed at Ansmann themselves for any changes that need/could be made, I do know there are carbon parts being released soon for this country and that does include a T plate and shock towers, just waiting myself for some of the other hop ups to be released in this country and should be here in the next 2 weeks hopefully.
