BENDER · 06-27-2005, 12:04 AM

I didnt notice it before but it looks a lot like Ralph. I guess people cant come up with their designs.

Will · 06-27-2005, 11:48 AM

T-Man · 06-27-2005, 01:44 PM

Not only does it look like Ralph, it looks like he got your servo mount too.

Those both look like Rock1024's old tube frames. In fact, check them out here:

braceysdad · 06-27-2005, 02:39 PM

Somebody snatched them up. Looked like a good deal.

SuperSancho · 06-27-2005, 09:04 PM

Both of those frames do belong to Rock....Hua has owned them for a few years now

Looks like he is also selling Nick aka Calatas Avalanch scale rig

SuperSancho · 06-27-2005, 09:30 PM

This was 2 years ago at the RC4WD SoCal URC

If I remember correctly you got some ideas for your tuber off of 1:1 rigs.

Not to be mean, but I think you have a big head on this man. You have no idea if the builder copied your rig or if he did the same thing you did.

OK, yes I looked at some chassis and found some stuff I liked but the chassis out different than all of them. But you can't tell me that it's not copied. it's damn near identical. Except for my bends are tighter and more uniformed. Maybe I do have a big about it. But it comes down to my artist background. No artist likes to be copied. I'm betting it was done by the guy who asked me to build him one and I said no so he said he'd have someone else make it for him. I told him I'd appreciate if he didn't copy it. Well he obviously did anyway. Thats why its frusterating to me.

I am curious now. Someone needs to find out if it was copied or just a fluke.

pedesrule · 06-28-2005, 12:51 AM

Yeah if it was just copied, then thats real gay. I can understand why you would be pissed about that. I mean if you have the skills to make a tube frame, why not throw some of your own designs into the mix? instead of just copying the designs of someone else. I guess thats just how some people are. Unfortunatly you'll find alot of people in this world that will copy others work, instead of getting off their lazy *** and making something to call their own. I'm sure if the actually did make something of their own and it was copied by someone else they would realize how much of a pain it can be. Almost like stealing. But rckjeep ralph looked much more professional than their version. You can see the time take in the details in ralph, in this it looks hurried, like enough effort was put forward to make it work, but not perform well. In my book theres a difference between working and performing.
