is new ansmann pro-x an rb5 clone?

[mr. ed]

It seems like a good design and deal for me. congrats to ansmann for taking it up in their catalog.

What I find more surprising than the similarity to another buggy in design, is the name: pro-x
There was kyosho buggy with the exact same name; between the triumph and ultima RB. Hope y ou don't get in trouble for that Ansmann...

I doubt theyll get into trouble for that because the name is x-pro, NOT pro-x

It's a big gap between the 2 !

Is it the same car ? Are the parts exchangeable ?
Is the plastic quality the same ?

Answer found :
"The reason I bought a MatRat from JE was purely because DCM told me the car was made from different plastic to that of the XPro version, which he stated to be very stiff. I wanted to see for myself and possibly show it alongside for a comparison in the review."
