funny knock off crap

[looneybin]

ok well i know the whole knock off rc crap has be disscussed over and over again but i had to post this. http://www.halleyrus.com/Hobbies/El...olled+Electric+1:18+4WD+Mad+Buggy+Off+Road+RC
look at the fake engine head and i would hate to deal with that speedo when it goes on the fritz lol!

Its basically a rebadged 18T. I hate when people flood the market with stuff like that. That is what kills local hobby shops. These stupid things come out for cheaper than the LHS can purchase the real thing and it cuts the profit margin of the people trying to make an honest buck.

I dont understand the fake head....I would almost bet that is an RC18t. What they do in China is run ghost shifts. They make the real thing in the day and the same thing with a different name at night. Thing is they have no copyright laws over there so its not even realy illegal although China has been "trying" to shut them down. I used to be for supporting teh LHS until I moved a couple weeks ago and went into the LHS near my new place....30% markup over online...thats whats killing the LHS.
