China don't give a damn about copyrights.

No doubt, they look good but they definitely need to come out in 2.2 as I have no use for 1.9's at all.

people who run businesses in america. that's who.

Lmao, he asked for better pics of the product and the doucher sends him a pic of a real Vanquish wheel.

[aztitan]

Imnot sure on slw hubs i dont have any

Gmade center caps and rc4wd caps fit well.

Now if i could only get some scale lugnuts, i think 4/40 is smaller than m3

Is the bead nice and tight? Have you run them yet?

[aztitan]

Havent run them, but very tight, it was a pita to mount the vaterra swampers cause the thicker bead but they are on no gaps

If ebay kicks them off they'll just start an online store or move their online sales to asiatees.

And he thought a hairy leg background made the wheels look cooler than ever

Ebay is one of the most partial online business portal.
Small sellers are screwed and big sellers(mostly chinese) are given more favors because they bring in more mullah for ebay.

Not having an upper hand in business means selling on ebay (specially applicable to small sellers)

----------------------------------------------------------

Back in 2009-10 there was rarely chinese inversion in rc rock crawling while there was regarding other rc types and forums. Now this too

chinese have data miners on all forums who work under a well organised hiarchy. There are heavy weight investors back in china who do not have any attachment towards rc crawling or other rc. They simply look at it as 'How much money goes in and how much comes out'. Its a money game for them. They hunt what sells and quickly bring that product to market at a price that the OEM can't compete with. Not forgetting the unethical part of this business chain.

What does hurt me the most is that this game of cheap pricing and copying knocks out many good manufacturers who have an intention to give the customer a quality product and service backup. Sadly few customer understand the long term effects against a short term gain.

Then why do people who run American businesses out source everything. If they were that American it would all be made assembled and sourced here but no..America is the biggiest sell outSo no don't care where shit comes from any more.

Simply because we want decent parts for $20 instead of exquisitely crafted parts for $50 that at the end of the day perform the same function. Here we have labor laws, crazy high business taxes etc to deal with all while trying to make a buck. Over seas they don't have such hurdles to contend with.

Vanquish products are not out sourced.

Vanquish makes exquisite stuff and the quality is 120%, you definetly get what you pay for.

You can tell these are cheap knockoffs, quality is lacking but fit is good.

I just didnt have 200 to spend on some quality wheels i had a 50 budget and could get plastic, or rc4wd stamped or try these

I love most of the VP stuff I run since it is generally better designed than the factory piece it replaces but their wheels are not something I'm going to buy. Yes they're awesome but I beat my rigs too hard to justify the expenditure. If I was one of the schmuck that assemble $2500 rigs and put them on a shelf then yea, I'd have a set of every wheel they make. But I build drivers so cheap knockoffs are the way to go for me.

No I didnt, I mentioned taxes. The .gov profits off the backs of the labor of its citizens far more than even the most ruthless business owner could ever hope for.
