TBH Ansmann don't make clones. None of their stuff is highly original, its all based of somebody elses product but its never identical. More 'very heavily inspired'......

Since there has been no real innovation in 10th scale 2wd chassis in a long time they all really look the same as fas as design go.But all seem to work a little differently and be good at different aspects of driving

And tyres

Not sure about the pro x but the madrat plastic seems ok to me,the only floppy plastic on it is the gear cover

I don't think you could confidently say... it hasn't been based on the RB5, it has, but really, how many options are there, for 2wd these days.

What are the chances of the rb5 brass bulkhead fitting,as that would be a good option for front end weight

It's a big gap between the 2 !

Is it the same car ? Are the parts exchangeable ?
Is the plastic quality the same ?

Answer found :
"The reason I bought a MatRat from JE was purely because DCM told me the car was made from different plastic to that of the XPro version, which he stated to be very stiff. I wanted to see for myself and possibly show it alongside for a comparison in the review."

Can't wait for a review
