Of course the design has gone a long way since then and passed through many hands. But its the same general idea.
I know plenty of Schumacher's ideas have ummm....migrated
to other manufacturers. But as I said, no company in this industry had all the ideas first, so everybody has "copied" somebody.So why do people keep harping on it? I mean the EC isn't even out yet, so how could companies who have their car out already 'copy' it.
In any case, the EC looks good. And since I haven't missed a generation of Schumacher car yet, I may end up owning one someday.

Dark... good post. All the cars share a lot of characteristics. (Even that funky looking Losi thing )
kid: I'm sure some be for sale once we've all got our EC's. Not sure if mine will or not.
