Exactly my point, a product doesnt have to be manufactured in Japan to be of a good quality.

Team C - China
Apple - China
HTC - Taiwan
Samsung - Taiwan
Garmin - Taiwan

These are just off...

Would that be the same TM2 designed and produced in China?? :p

Agree though that it is a great car.

I suggest you ask Yokomo that question seeing as they are putting kits out there in the same ball park as the Schumacher's and Losi's of this world.

Simply though, if the competition is lowering...

That's my point though, Japan doesn't automatically mean better quality. If you give the Chinese a spec to work to then they often achieve it. Would Apple be using them otherwise? Samsung and HTC are...

I tend to disagree. This car would be competing directly with the DB1, DB2, XB4 2WD and TM2. All of those cars are designed with high grip tracks in mind also and this new Cougar is priced favourably...

Why is this deemed to be overpriced at £285, compared to the likes of an XB4 2WD or DB1 etc it is cheap. And I would much rather have this than the XB4 2WD regardless of what they cost.

Its a thing of beauty isn't it! I am no expert on 1/8 either mate, but with these electric beauties they aren't so different to the 1/10 buggies we know and love.

On the basis above I just think its a little pointless, they may as well have just left it as the XB4 and if people wanted to run it 2wd they could. I don't think they have done enough to justify...

I give you that, I agree that machined aluminium parts improve the overall quality but it simply puts it out of my target price range.

I would rather spend almost half that amount on the kit...

I am disappointed as well. I was really hoping for something with an XB4 rear end, but with a front end designed specifically for 2wd. Similar to the DB1 / DB2 or TM2. This just looks like a lazy...

Thanks for the link Darren. The 8.2e is a good looking piece of kit, and at £100 less than the Mugen and Losi it has a good looking price too! And it is £250 cheaper than the Kyosho! :o
