If you wanted to buy an Ansmann, I would wait for the Madrat to be released as it will be a far better car than the cars currently in their range.
If it was a ready to run car you were after then there are quite a few better options for you to look at.
4wd :- Tamiya Durga and the Kyosho Lazer ZX-5 are good choices with the Yokomo BMAX being a good budget car but not rtr (?). HPI are also releasing their entry level 4wd which looks to be a good option too.
2wd :- Associated B4rs is probably the only worthy mention here for now. (I am talking about RTR before anybody shouts at me!!)
Truck :- Associated T4rs, Losi Speed-T, XTM X-cellerator, Duratrax Evader, Traxxas Rustler are all ready to go.
With all of these cars you will still need to buy batteries, charger and extra crystals with extra tyre options being a good idea aswell. Hope this helps dude.
