"Corporate Licensing Extorshonists"
sad but true. I am sure they are making money above and beyond the cost of liscensing these bodies, they have to, otherwise there would be no Mazda 6, Parma Alfa, or any of the Nascar bodies for Oval. Like SWTour said the cost is being passed on to us, I guess I should have been a little more clear in my question, HPI bases all of their bodies on real cars, but they are not as widley used as say the Mazda 6, because of this how can they afford to keep using these high priced liscensed bodies, when they (at least from my experiance) are hardly used. Maybe they sell more than I think, I don't know.
