Do you know that because of the similarities of the RC bodies and the full size bodies and also the names like "Stratus" some full size manufacturers have asked for huge royalties from the RC companies. I say it just doesn't matter much to me at least, if we are not carbon copies. What if the bodies went from 25.99 to 65.00 to pay for these exact copies and the royalties involved. No thanks.
