thanks , never knew that yokomo cars were so cheap, see what you mean about the similarity, wonder how they handle. p.s just in case anyone is interested the Euro touring series is on live at , http://ets.redrc.net/live-video-feed/.

Notice the shock bodies on that 4wd, your madrat/xpro (2wd/st) does not come with those as of yet...? Apparently a great improvement over the non hardcoated shocks.
That Bmaxx is a sport version, there of course is i believe a "worlds" edition for a considerable higher price tag.

i did notice them, hopefully they will do the hard coat bodies as an upgrade on there own to keep cost down ,i have found the green shocks on the x-pro to be superb , if the hard coats are even better then i cant wait to get my mitts on some,.

Those shocks are versions that tq makes. Hopefully though if ansmann or a similar company duplicates the car they give u guys quality shocks. I do know the tq shocks are extremely smooth.

i also found the stock mad rat shocks to be pretty bad so i got some yeah racing ones

they are threaded aluminium and come in a nice blue colour!!!!

thanks saw that before, still think £270 is a bit much, i know its still very well speced but they could do with building it down a bit and offering it as an assembly kit for around £170, you never know they might be working on it as i type,. just my 2 cents .

Only problem being what could they make cheaper? It already uses fibreglass (or similar) instead of Carbon fibre...

None threaded shocks? But then would they need to put money into designing and making them?

I dont think they could ever make it worth while producing one for £170, and if they did id imagine the quality would suffer and you'd have to spend £ XXX amount getting it to be reliable...

Just my thoughts

fair points indeed,, actualy just noticed it does come as a kit too

, there are a few kicking around on ebay for those aforementioned peanuts too. i just saw my wallet running for the door in fear, any way lets see some more of those pics that this thread was started for. sorry the hijack!!
