it would make sense for them to use the B3 (three) moulds.

AE have no use for them anymore (under the AE banner)

a B4 under a different brand would be a bit useless (even in asia)

its almost like a 'free' 'new' RTR car for TT

bit like the duratrax evader buggy (losi xx?)
what is the new sportwerks 2wd, is that also an old losi ?

its like a whole new underclass of buggys! :o

Credit to sportwerks, I think theirs does look pretty much all new (not a Losi anyway)

but it does concern me that its rear width is ilegal for BRCA?

Specifications
Type 2WD Electric Buggy
Scale 1/10
Length 381mm (15 inch)
Width Front 248mm (9.75 inch)
Width Rear 254mm (10 inch)
Wheelbase 267mm (10.5 inch)
Chassis Moulded Composite


- see 'Width Rear' is the BRCA limit 250mm? :p

That would be a bit of an oversight wouldnt it!

I just had a look and thought it was an academy griffin for a second, but nope it does look somewhat new. Like a b3 thats been b4'd !

Actually, looks like the Sportwerks car isn't a B3, very similar but they've got a new chassis etc:
