I believe price is the issue. Some want the Method look, but can't afford, or simply don't want to pay, the Vanquish/Method price. If the knock-offs and Vanquish/Method's were the same price, very few would buy a low quality set of wheels and wait for the slow boat from China to arrive. | |

We all buy shit for all kinds of reasons, and honestly, I didn't ever get vp wheels simply because they have that bolt pattern doesn't match all the other wheels I have, and when I would need to buy all the parts separate, I didn't want to deal with it and spend a bunch for the headache when I didn't like the wheel pattern $150-200 worth.. I do like it $50 worth though. And for a shelfie I don't spend a bunch of loot, because it will probably change more than once before it's done. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using Tapatalk | |

Yup... Kinda how the deal works. They work for pennies and in return they pop up with clone parts to supplement their income Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using Tapatalk |

| Re: Knockoff vanquish methods on ebay??? Try to keep up. Pradeep is correct, it is shrewd business and if anything unethical. Not immature in any way shape or form. |

Haha! This is what happens when you gouge customers. No RC wheel set should cost almost $200. I pay up $150 for Gear Head wheels and even at that price the profit margins are high. You can also get Locked Up, Mayhem, Motoworx, TSS and more for less than the price of a set of Vanqui$h wheels. I think I'm going to give these a try. |

Not everyone needs or wants to spend that kind of money for wheels, its perfectly understandable, but I would rather give that amount to a company that supports the hobby and takes pride in their work as opposed to giving a considerably less amount to someone who has invested minimal time, thought, and effort and couldn't care less about our sport. To them it is just another random product that they can manufacture to make a bit of money on. When they're out of stock they'll be on to some other stolen idea to reproduce... | |

Vendors here make a profit but they are re-investing that profit into building infrastructure. With passage of time as their infra develops, they will scale up and bring in more better products with customer support. Overall the crawling community itself will gain satisfaction, less headache from it as opposed to flyby chinese manufacturers for whom this isa profit making tool. | |

Supporting local vendors helps everyone. This sport wouldn't be where it is without them. I've got a huge amount of respect for anyone that jumps into this game with fresh ideas, as well as those that can keep them coming. It's not easy, it's not cheap, and it rarely makes anyone rich. I see stolen ideas on facebook all the time. It pisses me off. I honestly cannot comprehend how lazy and stupid and devoid of ethical awareness a person has to be to do that and go public with it. | |

Appears some consumers will believe just about anything. At the end of the day, if the buyer is pleased with their purchase, that's all that really matters. They are under no obligation to justify their decisions to any of us. Although some of you married guys in the market for $200 Method wheels should probably start working on what you're going to tell the wives. Or burn the receipts and credit card statements. |

I purchase many items through paypal so I hit the ATM here and there then use the cash to buy a paypal prepaid card. Then simply load that to your paypal account. Then when you go buy those Method wheels you can use the balance you have on your paypal and then the rest can come out of the bank. A $200 purchase appears to be much less when it clears the bank....Or those cheap ebay wheels wont even show up because you had enough to cover it in your paypal account. Creativity, keeping the peace, haha. | |
