I personally think there are several things that are far superior on the Kaos.
1. Captured himge pins instead of threaded. Much easier to work on. And you don't need a whole box of toe blocks. Just change inserts and go!
2. Split center diff. Makes servicing the center diff much easier.
3. Wing mount. Just like the design better.
4. CVD's Spring steel. Nuff said
5. Customer support top notch bar none!
That being said, I sold my MBX5R and bought 2 OCM's! I loved my R and never broke anything. If you put the 2 side by side you will see many similarities but you would not still say that it is a copy. I would like to see som CF on it but that is really no biggie. I would bet we will see some in the future. I think people will have a new respect for OCM after this season is in the books.
