X Pro & Madrat - Ideal for a beginner?

Zipper · 2007 LBC TRUCK CHAMPION

Anyone else seen the two new buggies from Ansmann, could be perfect for someone new coming into the hobby?

The 2WD Madrat is under £50 and the X Pro goes for around £130.

There is some bits & bobs about them on oOple; http://www.oople.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=81

After seeing the Madrat the other day, I went to order one - just out of curiosity.

Are they listed for sale yet? I think the spares will be easy to get from JESpares. The Smacker looked well stocked (when I was a gnats fun hose from ordering the sealed diffs).

Even better though!

Although the bearings don't come with the car now, you have to buy them separately, but still £50! I'm having one, apparently they're not out yet but are due to be out any time now. Hopefully I'll be able to get one for the next club champs round Very Happy

I think you should get one. But be warned, there are some viscous X-60's out there. Legend has it that one particular bad breed can kill two SC10's in one bite. Laughing

See you truckside Wink

My brothers one arrived today, for £50 its great! the moldings are very good.
The Shell is also nice, we're going to ballrace it put associated shocks on and hopefully we can get a B4 slipper on there too!

It is very RB5ish, but thats a good thing it also doesn't use dog bones, there not CVDS there like B44 ones, which come pre built.

I've been thinking about a RB5 sp for next year, but it might be a pro x now.
