Right now seems to be a monkey see monkey do across the classes. Only a few brands are trying to be different and doing their own thing.
Either way it looks like it will be a good buggy. Heck any buggy can be a good buggy in the hands of a good driver.
Yokomo and Yokomo. When people claim something is an XB4 copy, it is actually inspired by the general design of the B-Max4III, the Xray still used top decks back then. The Yokomo hubs and Schelle hubs were released almost at the same time, and in this case I'd not assume one copied the other. As they say, great minds think alike...
