Noooo!!!
I was going to pre order one at that price during the weekend together with some spare parts for my other Team C cars.
Oh well, should have been quicker.

[Teamcracing]

first lot will arrive Germany head office after X'mas, first priority to all pre-order customers

Dear, The official picture from Team C

The tires are produce by Team C but no inculed, need to test the Team C mini pin

[Robbiejuk]

Is it my imagination or are those front wishbones shorter in length. Plus it has the shorter turnbuckles on it to. Have we decreased width front end on the new car to?

[ben44]

No, for me it's the same front as the family TC02.
The front crumber have the long position on the picture and if the look my car i see nearly the threading.

Looks good in those pics. The burnt orange is different.

My only comment on the package would be why not include the alloy front and rear hubs and rear hangers. They are the only parts likely to break and this kit is priced at the upper range of the market so an extra £30-40 to include all the alloy bits (in orange of course). Maybe the will do a team version like this.

Will there be an upgrade kit?

Will there be any sort of upgrade kit?
Seems to have a lot of familiar parts from the 2wd/4wd

[Jaune]

I like the shock cap.

I'm not 100% sure but I think most of the current upgrade parts would fit. Front and rear hubs look like the current 2wd version. I don't know whether the rear hangers are off the 2wd or 4wd but expect upgrades to be available.
I expect someone will know more info than me.

Nick,looking at it all the alloy off the back of the x4te will go straight on,wishbone hangers,hubs,carbon shock tower,same with the front off the x2c,so im guessing all upgrades that are already out will go straight on,so your ok you can have all your bling

Question is,have they put the correct seals in the shocks this time and improved the slipper unit,as thats going to need to be alot better than what was on the 4wd.

[john333]

I've built small bore and big bore team c shocks and neither have leaked any oil whatsoever, maybe ansmann had different seals but the team c ones are spot on.

[jasonrcb]

The ansmann big bore shocks had 1 small seal on the bottom cap and leaked like hell,so did the teamc versions i had from hong kong,so either they changed them after a while or you had the only non leaking set as it was common knowledge they leaked and there have been quite a few threads on the subject,hence i hope the situation has been sorted on this car

I have had teamc big bore shocks for around 2 years (3 sets total, 2 for 10th buggy and 1 set on my TS2TE), there were always two o-rings for the shock shaft, iirc all the versions also has two outrings between the bottom cap and cylinder. I never had any leak issues.

[john333]

Well I can guarantee you any problem that ansmann shocks may have had in the past have been well and truly fixed on any current team c car.

The front is from the TC02 family, so all upgrades will fit just as normal. The rear is from the TC04 family meaning any upgrades fitting the t4, tc04 or tr04 pro will fit the rear.

Basically this means all the upgrades you will ever need is already available in shops.
