talk today was that it would be a B3, yes - THREE

[Rob Fitzgerald]

This one ?

[Chris Doughty]

it would make sense for them to use the B3 (three) moulds.

AE have no use for them anymore (under the AE banner)

a B4 under a different brand would be a bit useless (even in asia)

its almost like a 'free' 'new' RTR car for TT

[jimmy]

bit like the duratrax evader buggy (losi xx?)
what is the new sportwerks 2wd, is that also an old losi ?

its like a whole new underclass of buggys!

[Chris Doughty]

Credit to sportwerks, I think theirs does look pretty much all new (not a Losi anyway)

but it does concern me that its rear width is ilegal for BRCA?

Specifications
Type 2WD Electric Buggy

Length 381mm (15 inch)
Width Front 248mm (9.75 inch)
Width Rear 254mm (10 inch)
Wheelbase 267mm (10.5 inch)

- see 'Width Rear' is the BRCA limit 250mm?

[jimmy]

That would be a bit of an oversight wouldnt it!

I just had a look and thought it was an academy griffin for a second, but nope it does look somewhat new. Like a b3 thats been b4'd !

This is without shell

[Nick Goodall]

Awesome, looks like i may be able to get some funky new parts for my good old B3 then

[Nick Goodall]

Actually, looks like the Sportwerks car isn't a B3, very similar but they've got a new chassis etc:
