Hop ups?

[jim76]

team C make the madrat, Ansmann just rebrand it in Europe. Team C sell all the spares and hop ups very cheaply, but they don't have a beefed up T-piece.

who makes all the parts for the ansmann madrat all the hop ups for it

[jim76]

did you not read my post above? Team C MAKE the madrat and all the spares, and all the hop-ups. In Europe they are sold under the Ansmann name, but Ansmann don't yet have the hop-ups in stock, hence why people are buying direct from Team C in Asia.

They defiantly are stronger , i have had no breakages with my Xpro as of yet , where as my mad rat broke every time i used it (including the t-piece) and those plastic shocks are truly terrible unless your on completely flat ground

The mad rat is a great car though, especially if you put the shocks and turnbuckles off the xpro onto it, I am sure it would improve it vastly

As for those Team C hop ups i am very interested in getting some myself , Could the guy who has got some of the parts take some pictures when he has them installed as i would like to see how they fit and look on the car

Thanks !

By the way how much does that brass battery tray weigh

[budgio]

The brass battery tray weighs approx 120g

[jim76]

bloody hope not! mine arrived today also. If it was 615g it would be heavier than original NiMH cells!
i don;t have any decent accurate scales, but i imagine it's a typo and it;s actually 61.5g

The alloy bulkhead is nicely made, but would have prefered all brass for the weight. Will have to wait and see how good the alloy is once it;s been run a few times. But for £2.50 it can be made of cheese for all i care!
The B4 rear driveshafts also look really good, with all the washers etc needed.

Took 4 working days from time of order. Great service. Even sent the bits in 2 packages to keep them under the limit for duty.

As a matter of interest, where did you guys order these bits from. Any links??

[budgio]

that,ll teach me for getting my 6 yr old to weigh it lol

There isnt a link available.I emailed teamC direct and they were very helpful.

[jim76]

does your deal involve them selling spares/upgrades also Jamie? or is it just kits they aren't allowed to sell?

You wanting a madrat to go with it Steve? VXL boy is selling his!

[SuperSparkSteve]

Get one for the indoor championship at cullingworth! Get vxl boys!

[sosidge]

These parts probably won't fit a B4. Might fit an RB5 though...

I was thinking about buying the battery bar and the front arm mount if there cheap. if they dont fit then maybe attack it with a dremmel.

[jim76]

the brass tray is US$11
driveshafts were US$9
Bulkhead was US$4.10

springs were peanuts, about $1.50 per pair i think.
I got the top 3, some front wishbones, rear shock tower, and 3 sets of front and rear rims. Came to £35 inclusive, and that was including 2 lots of shipping to ensure each package was under the customs limit.
The wheels alone are £27 plus postage in the UK.
