When you can afford a Fazza, why buy a Ford?

If one manufacturer get's away with this, who's to say the others will not follow. At the end of the day these companies are out to make the biggest profit they can (not always a bad thing) and if we allow manufacturer's to sell their product at 4-5 times what it costs to make it we, the customer, are in trouble!

And mtbkym01, just because you Australians are fools and pay whatever is asked for something, does not mean that us Americans will bend over and take it too. The whole world is laughing at us, huh??? Maybe we should have laughed at the rest of the world also, that way your pretty little Australian accent would not sound so good SPEAKING GERMAN.
Sorry to the sensible people on this forum, but idiots annoy me - we all have em, and unfortunately there are laws against shooting them.

Well goodness
Perhaps you should study a little yourself...Japan was the Enemy in the Pacific theatre of WW2, so you fail geographically. If you want to talk about war, then give us Europeans and Aussies a couple of years before you join the conversation - just like you did in WW1 and WW2.

Guys,
I wont retract my post, but please dont let this degenerate into an irrelevant shite fight, lets keep closer to the topic.
It comes down to the depth of your hobby fund and what you enjoy.
I like a nice tight build, and to experiment with different setups, recording every little change in my notebook. Other guys want to get out on the track and go hard lap after lap after lap, hose off their buggy , put it away and do it again next week.
I love expensive tools, I send my engines away to be ceramic coated - My wife prefers I spend my disposable coin on cars not coke and hookers...
I'm currently running an RC8Be, but when it gets too tired, I'm thinking XRay, or Durango, or Kyosho or...

Just to keep this trainwreck moving, when I look at an MP9, I just can't see anything on it that will give me a significant advantage over my competition. I can't see a single thing on it that sets it apart from the crowd. I don't see a single thing on it that warrants paying some $300 more than an MBX6, or an RC8 or an 8ight any other competition-level buggy.
At least with an Xray 808, they produce ALL the parts IN-HOUSE which is why the fit-n-finish is perfect and explains somewhat why they cost a little more than the other guys.
