What if AE scales down a MBX7 Eco to 1/10th scale?

Anything is possible, but my thinking is it won't be based on a B6 so it won't have the B6 badge. TLR already has the 22-4 which really has nothing to do with the 22 which was called the 22 because it was 2wd with two layouts (mid and rear).

Correct me if I'm wrong here

Xray basically copied the bmax4(even their first race used a Yokomo body)
Pro racing copied the Xray
Serpent copied most of the team durango dex410
AE used their own design from what I've seen but locally they are considered terrible
Hotbodies took some of the b44 and upgraded it.

Like I said correct me if I'm wrong here. This is just what I've seen in pics

AE knocked off the jconcepts JB4 from 2003 to make the b44. The JB4 was a better more durable wheeler .

I am very excited to hear this . I sold my yz-2 with over 100 races on it and it was still very tight with zero slop . I have never seen an AE product that impressed me quality wise . This massive jump in AE quality is great news!!

What? Are you talking about the car at the worlds? Their drivers drove a Durango DEX410. Is their new wheeler based off that? I didn't think so..

So I think everyone can at least agree that brands take ideas from each other and "improve" on them as they see fit. Who cares if "x" car looks like "y". They may look similar, but they're all different.

Now, back OT: Who thinks we'll see a new car this coming up week at the Nats?

On KustomRcgraphics FB page, Larry posted bodies for Spencer Rivkin's Nats bodies. Shows a B44.3 body

I covered that already. Still not proof there won't be a new car.

The vehicle serpent used to win the 2016 European championship, supposidly their new 4wd that hasn't been released yet looks a lot like a dex410. Towers/bulkheads hell even the wheels look identical to the team durango

Serpent designed most of the dex410 and scrapped the project. Durango started and released the dex410 as there first car.
