New WWS 1/32 coming soon

[avenan]

And 1/20! I'm fairly certain the WWS F1 I have sitting here is 1/20, not 1/24 or 1/18. No?

WWS is a very well known and respected name in the European RC scene -- I'm sure this car is great. Its really unfortunate more people in the US haven't gotten to see (or get beaten by) one. My Pro and F1 are extremely well designed cars. The construction is top notch. Assuming the 1/32 ever makes it stateside, I will be getting one. (and if they don't, I'll find a way...)

If the cost of the pro relative to other high end 1/24 cars is any indication, the price will be less than that of the CRT. WWS seems to eschew some of the "fancy" materials that everyone thinks they need, for thin, yet rigid, fiberglass. I'm sure that saves some $$ in materials. The weight difference between the 'glass and graphite would be negligible. Klaus, do you guys in Germany have access to carbon fiber parts? Any opinions from you (or Wilfred) regarding fiberglass v. cf, and why WWS seems to be fiberglass only?

Hi avenan,

you're right, i've forgotten the formula, which is 1/20, also the offroad buggy. The material of the 1/32 is the same as the 1/24 or the 1/20 formula, but it's not black painted.
The philosphy of Wilfried is to build a car that's fast out of the box, so that no tuning parts are necessary. Therefore WWS did not offer any tuning parts.
Normally tuning parts will lead to a higher weight. His cars are designed to win races, not to win beauty contests.

The car is available now for about 100 Euro, ball bearings, ball diff and Revell body included.

Here are two pics from the car including IWaver electronics:

Hi Herman,

the car is available now, but not as RTR. You can use small electronic components. I use 40 MHz components (Schulze 440 receiver, Robitronic Microspeed, Micro Servo).
In the picture you can see is an IWAVER board, which is not available from WWS.
You can use paypal for payment. Sipping costs are different for some countries. If you want one (without electronics), you can send me an email with your address. I'll send you a reply with total cost including shipping costs.
You can also order directly from WWS (wws.racing@web.de)

WWS is still working on a solution of a RTR, but i've no idea, how long this will take.

Klaus,

Are these still available? I can't find them on the WWS site.
