Nice :D

Great, as long as they can develop the car!!

Now that looks very nice... looks like I now know what 4x4 I'll be getting for the summer :D

K

be even better if you can get parts or just buy it from team c and cut out the middleman:thumbsup:

Team c?

the manufacturer of the car:thumbsup:
team c tco4

is it mee or are allot of the parts on them off the 2wd? like wishbones and shock towers?

I think You are right...true to form Team C seem to be making some good design choices here. Hopefully means shared spares and parts which means cheaper running costs. It's a great idea that many companies use. I think the AE B4 and B44 share some common parts also like shocks, suspension arms and probably turnbuckles etc.

this if its true will make it a very interesting choice for me i may even sell my beloved losi to get this if i can use xpro spares with it

Chocolate fireguard, handbreak on a kayak.

I have ordered one for the shop to run over the summer, due dates will be around march time maybe sooner, hopefully retailing around the 150 to 160 range.

Chris get off the crack

:thumbsup::woot:

looks like the yokomo to me

OK guys, look Ansmann were a little slow in getting the hop-ups to the public, but Ansmann Have and Do support all the cars, some of the hop-up parts are not manufactured in china and are of european manufacture, this ensures that the parts are of better quality than that from the far east.
Some of the blame could be passed to some shops for not stocking the parts that is not down to Ansmann.
All hop-ups are available from Ansmann via your local shop .
The new 4 Wheel drive car X4 Pro will be available A pril/May time, Ansmann Racing UK will also be looking for drivers to sponsor for the racing 2010 season.

how will the sponsered drivers be found?

With regards to Ansmann Sponsered Drives for both X-Pro 2 WD and the new 4X-Pro 4WD cars, if you have a proven race record and can be refered by a Model shop and you have a Race CV with all your details please send to [email protected]. these will be evaluated and Ansmann will contact you in due corse.

Is that for the pro version or the cheap one?

the pro

hmm i agree with chris, both my local shops have stopped stocking em due to to many returns and the quality, or lack of it!

Blizzard is same as Cyclone D4 but plastic :O

Slighly off-topic reply on my part, so apologies, but i have to ask, does that go for any drivers? (i currently mostly race touring cars & 12th - even run an ARE-1 at club level on occasion & have done a little bit of off-road in the past if that helps), if so i'd like to put myself forward should Ansmann ever need touring car drivers - bearing in mind that the Mad-rat off-roaders are doing so well currently in the market, i suppose it won't be long until they put as much effort into electric tourers & release a decent one that can mix it at the big events with the Cyclone's & TC5's etc rather than being stuck in the TT-01 bracket.

Just ordered my X4 pro. Can't wait for it to arrive:D:woot::thumbsup::drool:

Niether can i. will be good to have a look at when it comes in :thumbsup:

you can build it if you want:p

dont say that, cos i would...:lol::D:woot::lol:

Have Ansmann given anymore infor when they are going to start dispatching them?

I will give them a call on tuesday and find out for you. :D

i cannot get hold of one as a sponsored driver as i understand they haven't received a production sample from team c as of yet so it could be a while :thumbdown:

I dare say a huge cloud of Ash has something to do with this:thumbdown:

I hear the Blizzard Pro is actually short for Pro-Laps? I could be wrong. it might have been Pro-Blem.... I could have imagined it.:blush:

Some video footage of testing:

Looks pretty good to me:thumbsup:

!sorry for being off topic!
Does anybody know, what is the equal number for a medium(600) Tamiya Damper Oil? It is the blue one. I got one and don't know how thick it is. Seems to be pretty thick

Ok. I got this. Maybe it will be helpful for others too
(sorry for not being 100% complete but I had to cut it out from a PDF )

looks good :thumbsup: especially the drifting into the 1st corner :woot:

although its not listed on the team c website..:(

Very nice Chris! :) I also like the white body :)
I'm plannig do pain my body once it gets a bit older.
What motor does that it have on the video?
Another off topic question (forgive me theese plz ): how should I calculate those gear ratios, when for an engine is reccomended 1:9.0 for a buggy....:confused:

http://www.tcmodels.net/index.php?pa...hk=1&Itemid=71

Looks like Carbon shock towers are also available:thumbsup:

Cheers. Not sure on the motor, probably a 6.5/8.5?

To calculate the gear ratio you do:
final drive ratio = (spur/pinion) x internal drive ratio

The gear ratio you use depends on both the motor (make and turns) and the track you will be racing on. If you use a Losi Xcelorin then an 8.5 will be would for a FDR of 9.0. If you use a faster motor you will need and smaller pinion and for a slower motor you could increase the pinion.
