What's actually the difference between these three cars?

Simple answer is they are all the same car, the difference is the name on the box.
Outside of China, Team C was originally just an OEM factory, making cars for other manufacturers. They made the cars and left the design, distribution and retail sales to whoever bought the cars. Ansmann used to have an R/C division, so they bought Team Cs own cars, put their name on the box and Ansmann distributed the cars throughout Europe. TQ Racing sold the cars in the US under the TQ brand as well.
Ansmann decided to stop selling R/C cars, and Team C started selling through normal distribution channels at first so the name became known over here. The Madrat became the Jekyll. Later the Jekyll was replaced by the TR02V2, the only difference is the TR02v2 has a slightly longer chassis.
When it shut down, Ansmanns R/C division staff left and set up Absima who took over distribution throughout Europe. The manual can be found on their website

Lots of spares are not kept in stock in UK shops, but if you order shadow stock parts they are usually sent direct from Absima themselves.
