nice but I thin Ill just buy the conversion kit

[ben44]

This version is stick pack. I hope to have the sample but saddles pack to have some spare parts

[damselfly]

Wonder if all the parts will be interchangeable with the Mad rat? I particularly like the shell. If so, it probably means that Mad rat/Monkey spares will become even more readily available than they currently are.

Hope the kits will be as cheap as the rat !! might be a associated to ansmann converte !!!!

Front end is exactley the same and off the back the items that are the same are the wishbones, hubs, driveshafts, shocks and gearbox internals. So chassis, gearbox housing,rear bulkhead, motor plate and shocktower and shell are different.

So spares are pretty interchangeable between rat and monkeh!!

There are 4 off use racing these in the 2011 mid west regionals with back up trackside from concept racing this year.Some purchased the saddle kit($165 from tc models) iv'e purchased mad rat, stick conversion,ballraces and turn buckes all separately total cost£112),nearly all parts are the same as normal rat except chassis,rear tower,rear t plate pivot mounts.for more info see ansmann forum on oople.

If they are cheap like the madrat I might be tempted to get one instead of the Losi 22!

[Dave Dodd]

The pro version "X2C" retails at £149.99. The basic mad monkey will retail for £69.99 but bear in mind if its like the madrat it will need bearings too, the RTR version will retail at £189.99 which includes 12T brushless & 2.4ghz
(these are RRP)

[fotko]

shocks on MadMonkey are the same crap like MadRat´s?

[colmo]

I see the Mad Monkey kits are becoming available - RRP is £69.99 and already being discounted.

Considering the midmotor layout and evolutionary improvements carrying over from the Mad Rat, it looks a good deal.

The price increase from the 'rat is to be expected - it was almost too cheap...

I'd be interested to know how the saddle layout in the pro car compares to the stick in this?

[Dave Dodd]

might see a stick pack soon at our club, we already have 3 x2c's and plenty of madrats, will post something when i know..

I know, I meant differences in handling?

[Dave Dodd]
