Theory on "Copied" Buggy Designs
I think one of the reasons we see buggy's looking similar and even being similar in some of the geometry is because in this case for e.g The Person or company who designed the buggy was perhaps not part of or an employee of either Intech or Durango.
I think it is very likely that a totally separate 3rd party designed some kind of a base model. Then, Both Intech and Durango (and maybe even others) purchased that design and built upon it with their own custom and unique parts.
In a day and age where re-branding is rampant, it's not so far-fetched to believe that two totally separate company's both purchased the same base design.
I'm just guessing there. I have no information or evidence to prove or disprove the theory. Just seems far more logical than one company copying another without being sued.
Also, what makes all those posters so certain Intech copied Durango? How do we know Durango did not copy intech? Please don't say because Durango released first. That not evidence of who designed it first (if either of them designed it at all). That just means Durango released it first (maybe they hurried and intech took the slow and sure route?!?!?! I Dunno. I don't really care. I'm only posting this to explore both sides of the coin after seeing many posts that were just one side of the coin (the Intech copied Durango side of the coin).
but yes, I am a huge fan of intech. Half of our club drive intech's. All intech products have one goal. To be competitive, durable and affordable and Intech has succeeded everywhere in those departments.
Intech ROCKS!!!
