One other seriously cool Robbe r/c

[akemag]

After i saw the Robbe Rodeo, i looked on ebay after other cars they made, and came up with this one. Robbe Panter 8x8 with alot of electronics. A bit expensive though. Does Robbe make any cars now?

Robbe http://www.robbe.com/ as also Graupner and Multiplex (the other 2 big German RC companies) used to make also some own RC cars since the late 70s which usually had interesting ideas but poor implementations, but mainly rebranding other mades cars (even Kyosho) and selling them under their own name. Robbe makes currently even an ugly and overpriced truck with a blasphemous name, Mountaineer [+o(] http://at.robbe-online.net/rims_at.storefr...ew/1&2D3333

Here you can find some older cars of them http://tamiyaclub.com/CS/forums/203133/Sho...ead.aspx#203133

Ok, so they're basic in construction and maybe a bit behindthe times in developement but imo work very well and are simple to modify and work on/repair. Cost wise they are a bit pricey but no more so than the boxful of plastic parts you'll bring home from your LHS in the form of a modern kit. Just my opinion here, not trying to knock anyone or any brand at all, they all seem to be the same nowadays.lol
