I hope this doesn't mean Team C is also stopping their lineup. If they are, it's a shame, if not, it's kind of understandable as it's probably not really profitable to have two brands compete each other with exactly the same (competition) cars.

This effects TeamC in no way what so ever, TeamC are the manufacture who are now selling thier own product, Ansman rebadged TeamC products to sell

So it should really say:-
"Ansmann will no longer be distributing TeamC kits in shiny boxes" Just hope TeamC can get a big enough distribution network up and running. Reducing volumes in the various factories by how ever many percent Ansmann take will be quite painful! |

Team C is distributed through SMD in the UK and Absima are the European distributor.
http://www.absima.com/index.php?id=7&L=1 Sorry to hear about ansmann racing i hope all the employees can continue within ansmann in some capacity as it sounds like their other businesses are flourishing. |

As i've also said before, is there any reason why Ansmann & Team C couldn't exist in the same market?? LRP & Nosram seem to be doing OK selling the same products with different boxes, logo's & coloured anodising.

Just want to say that I hope none of the ansmann staff lose their jobs, and if so, i hope they find new jobs quickly. Xmas is very close now and for a lot of people money is a real issue. Being unemployed with families to look after isnt easy at any time, let alone xmas. Best of luck guys.

All shops in europe that sold the ansmann buggys and want to continu.
Just contackt absima.de they can help you. Absima have more great stuff as wheels/tyres . Radios/servos boddy acc and way more stuff just take a look. TeamC is indeed the official factory made stuf for ansmann. TeamC makes alot still but.in there own name distributed by absima.de So no big changes for ansmann fans only name .only for the shops they need to exchange contackts with absima.de. Im no absima emploiee . just a absima team driver so for exackt info just.contackt absima.

From what I can see, Ansman have dropped the racing line because Team C are already selling it.
