yer i dont want the custom carbon ones atm i was talking of the stuff in the link

[Nick Goodall]

This link was posted a while back by someone showing a load of really good ideas for the XPro / Madrat:

Not sure where you'll be able to buy the parts though as it doesn't look like Ansmann will be bringing them in now

http://www.teamcracing.net/index_product_view.php?did=74095&didpath=/74095&page=1&imgid=528838

I really hoped Ansmann would bring all the upgrades for the mad rat although i have to say im not surprised if they dont, as its exactly what they did to the hurrax 1/5, they only seem interested in moving boxes rather than supporting a product fully.
They moan when you buy from h/kong to get the kit for half price then they seem happy for you to go and get the upgrades from there:confused:

[Battle_axe]

i hoped they would well i guess i will have to get down the metal shop and make the bits i want up

[budgio]

The parts are available now direct from TeamC.
Email them at
info@teamcracing.net
I,m not sure on the prices yet though

thought they weren't banned from selling to the UK? or does that only cover kits?

hopefully Jamie can confirm what hop-ups are in the pipeline

[DCM]

hop-ups are coming, I have been told, hopefully the end of the month.

[Jamie.T]

Ansmann WILL be bringing in ALL the hop-ups soon. We do support our cars and dont just "shift boxes".

We will be doing the complete range of hop-ups as listed on the team C website and many more. Keep your eyes peeled.

[stampede vxlboy]

I should be receiving my TC02 "metal bits" soon.Hoping to test them out at the PDA on wednesday night if they arrive in time.
I,ll post some pics :)

[stampede vxlboy]

do they make stuff for the madrat t piece and all the hop ups for the madrat team c:thumbsup:

[jim76]

team C make the madrat, Ansmann just rebrand it in Europe. Team C sell all the spares and hop ups very cheaply, but they don't have a beefed up T-piece.

[stampede vxlboy]

who makes all the parts for the ansmann madrat all the hop ups for it :thumbsup:

[jim76]

did you not read my post above? Team C MAKE the madrat and all the spares, and all the hop-ups. In Europe they are sold under the Ansmann name, but Ansmann don't yet have the hop-ups in stock, hence why people are buying direct from Team C in Asia.

[stampede vxlboy]

xpro cabon bits are better than the madrat bits. xpro stronger bit carbon fibre :thumbsup:

[madwestmo]

xpro cabon bits are better than the madrat bits. xpro stronger bit carbon fibre :thumbsup:

They defiantly are stronger , i have had no breakages with my Xpro as of yet , where as my mad rat broke every time i used it (including the t-piece) and those plastic shocks are truly terrible unless your on completely flat ground

The mad rat is a great car though, especially if you put the shocks and turnbuckles off the xpro onto it, I am sure it would improve it vastly

As for those Team C hop ups i am very interested in getting some myself , Could the guy who has got some of the parts take some pictures when he has them installed as i would like to see how they fit and look on the car

Thanks ! :)

By the way how much does that brass battery tray weigh

[budgio]

The brass battery tray weighs approx 120g

[jim76]

bloody hope not! mine arrived today also. If it was 615g it would be heavier than original NiMH cells!
i don;t have any decent accurate scales, but i imagine it's a typo and it;s actually 61.5g

The alloy bulkhead is nicely made, but would have prefered all brass for the weight. Will have to wait and see how good the alloy is once it;s been run a few times. But for £2.50 it can be made of cheese for all i care!
The B4 rear driveshafts also look really good, with all the washers etc needed.

Took 4 working days from time of order. Great service. Even sent the bits in 2 packages to keep them under the limit for duty.

[Jamie.T]

As a matter of interest, where did you guys order these bits from. Any links??

[budgio]

that,ll teach me for getting my 6 yr old to weigh it lol

[budgio]

There isnt a link available.I emailed teamC direct and they were very helpful.

[jim76]

does your deal involve them selling spares/upgrades also Jamie? or is it just kits they aren't allowed to sell?

[SuperSparkSteve]

http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t98/budgio/DSC_0005.jpg

if u dont mind me asking, how much did all that come to? can u remember the price for each bit? im very tempted to get an order in.

[jameswilkinson7]

You wanting a madrat to go with it Steve? VXL boy is selling his!

[SuperSparkSteve]

was thinking of a few cheap upgrades for my B4. But im very tempted to get a madrat as a back car.

[jameswilkinson7]

Get one for the indoor championship at cullingworth! Get vxl boys!

[sosidge]

These parts probably won't fit a B4. Might fit an RB5 though...

[SuperSparkSteve]

Get one for the indoor championship at cullingworth! Get vxl boys!

i think i might have to drop Stampy a pm about it:drool::p:thumbsup:

[budgio]

$69 delivered
just email teamC for parts list/price

[SuperSparkSteve]

These parts probably won't fit a B4. Might fit an RB5 though...

I was thinking about buying the battery bar and the front arm mount if there cheap. if they dont fit then maybe attack it with a dremmel.

[jim76]

the brass tray is US$11
driveshafts were US$9
Bulkhead was US$4.10

springs were peanuts, about $1.50 per pair i think.
I got the top 3, some front wishbones, rear shock tower, and 3 sets of front and rear rims. Came to £35 inclusive, and that was including 2 lots of shipping to ensure each package was under the customs limit.
The wheels alone are £27 plus postage in the UK.

[jim76]

it only costs £2.50 so not a big gamble. You would probably have to ream out the holes as the kit is metric unlike B4 pins

[SuperSparkSteve]

At those prices i think i will get a madrat and use my B4 as a back up car!

[jim76]

exactly! just swap the B4 shocks onto it and you will be well sorted!

[jameswilkinson7]

Put some losi shocks on the back of my dads madrat... That handled really well on shiny floor.

[DCM]

there isn't anything wrong with the X-Pro shocks though (except the o-rings and springs), mine is currently running B4 silver springs all round.

[qatmix]

where do you order the cheap hop ups from? I cant find anything :(

[stampede vxlboy]

who will sell them in the uk madrat parts ? carbon parts all the parts i need. but i got told the xpro parts what better i got a xpro t plate and its snap again they said it was made of carbon and plastric there crap plastric parts just fall to bits :confused::thumbdown:

[jim76]

Ryan is the only one currently making the carbon parts in the UK. You'll just have to wait until he makes a second batch.
The X-pro t-piece will break just like the madrat one because THEY ARE THE SAME PART.

as previously stated, drive slower and more carefully until you master things. And don't go for silly huge jumps while bashing. No car will stand up to bad landings at speed.

[stampede vxlboy]

my mate snap 1 than ryan made a little stone snapped it. there not strong at all. ryan not making any more i dont think so. he email me say he was not making anymore as it was not worth is while and the time as well to make them :confused:

[Nick Goodall]

my mate snap 1 than ryan made a little stone snapped it. there not strong at all. ryan not making any more i dont think so. he email me say he was not making anymore as it was not worth is while and the time as well to make them :confused:

Seriously what are you trying to say? I read that as "My mate snapped one that Ryan made, just a little stone snappped it"

Is that what you mean as i find it hard to believe you snapped a Carbon one easily.

[Jamie.T]

My mate snapped a carbon one too. The rear section where it has been machined down very thin is extremely weak. One little knock to the rear and the rear lower arm pin holder gets torn off, taking the thin carbon with it.

Im currently trying to re-deign a T plate that is stronger at the back. Will hopefully be in a few weeks.

[DCM]

Jamie, get me one, that you design, and I will tell you if it will snap. I ran the Ryan T-Piece on Sunday, and I did some decent destructive testing on it..... If you don't re-seal the edges and areas of machining, they will be weak spots.

Right now, I need to get some serious weight into my car.

[Jamie.T]

No problem Steve. Will let you know when theyre done.

p.s, if you want some more weight in your car, i can sit on it if you want. :lol:

[DCM]

feck me, I want it to stop wheelying, not die a nasty death!! you should of seen it at COBRA last weekend, with a 7,5 in it, lifted the front almost everywhere!!

Got to get a B4 slipper on it though, the kit spur is pants.... more oval than an egg.

[stampede vxlboy]

yes snap the carbon t plate from ryan :confused:

Whats does the difference in degrees do to the handling/drivability of the car??
