Gotta love it when a country that has no copyright law can put out direct copies... This isn't the first thing I've seen like this.. They've even got direct copies of FG 5th scales that're being dropped for like $500 RTR... It's crazy, man...

Ripoff- probally not. Rebranded-more likely. Compare TLP, Duratrax, Apex, Integy, and Eagle chargers and see for yourself.

Darn that Hong Kong!!!!

Good thing they are not sold in Vegas because it would be another reason for you to hate it.

Nope, never have and never will make a copy of someone elses work. I have gotten bodies to take dimensions off of. I will never produce a copy of someone else's work. I have used bodies to take dimensions off of and use as castings for mock ups.

If I where copying others then Id already be selling them, maybe get your facts straight.

That there's funny, I don't care who you are....

Not that it matters, but most of this stuff is made in China. I do a lot of work with companies over there and most everything they manufacture is something that they approach a vendor with "ready-to-sell" i.e. "Look at this battery charger, it does this and this, and we'll put your name on it if you buy enough to fill a shipping container..."

So most of these guys don't design their own stuff, it is all re-branded. Plus of you go dig around, you'd probably be able to find the same thing sold under a dozen names, overseas. My .002

First we will need to define what exactly a rip off is and make sure our definition is consistent.

To expedite that, we can start our own organization to be sure that said definition will be to our likeing and perspective as well as being under our direct control.

Anyone want to volunteer to be on the committee?

an after thought, this may be the original company that has been making the chargers all along. there has been a big swing in Chinese products to place their own names on their products now

So how is that project coming along?

Wasn't it like a year ago that you were going to have a CJ body out?
