Yes and they also have a 1/24 1/10 and that 1/18 scale. Its probably a replica of losi because it really similar . |

| They have a knock-off micro? Losi has a somewhat difficult time making round gears in the micro, can't imagine how bad a cheapo would be. I should add that my micro never had gear problems, many others reported it though.

my buddy just bought the 1/10, it looks like all the parts are axial or integy with no-name..... It seems to crawl ok, not sure about the durability though

Most patent laws here don't have any power overseas. If a company in China wants to copy something patented in America, they can. It makes it even easier for them when the parts are actually made in China. Ethics is about the only thing that stops them... Just about anything halfway popular has got a Chinese clone. Even puppies. But there's still only one David Hasselhoff. |

Ok talk to a friend today he told me he bought one 3 weeks ago and hes telling me the only problem he saw already is those plastic rod ends they brake really easy. And a little noise coming from the motor. (its there since he got it) He is going to give me specs on motor. tomorrow. |

Ok the motor on that car it does not even have a name on it but the backside said 35t pinion is 16 and spur is 46 its kind of fast for a crawler and it does look a lot like ax10.
