Default Things that make you go hmm....

SO I am reading my new copy of RC Driver and the Crawler Build, by Greg Vogel, and he is raving about his "NewEraModels" Rhino Chassis Clod conversion kit...

Is it me or is this "new" Chassis actually the RC4WD RockBull II chassis??? Is NewEra peddling somebody elses chassis as their own, or the other way around??

Inquiring minds want to know!!

You guys to realize a lot of companies make a business agreement with a manufacture, buy their product with their name on it and add a few things and call it their own right?

Also if RC4WD is getting is stuff manufactured in China then he can expect that company to steal the design and market it them selfs. That has happened a lot in a few other hobbies of mine.

Definitely looks like the RC4WD RB chassis with straight links, and a BTA kit. All it seems to take lately, is to swap out a few parts and call it their own .

Stores always get it later than Subscribers, dunno why, probably to make us "feel special" heh
