History lesson:
Some dude back in the late 1600's made the 1st combustion engine. Since than everyone has copied him.
Even this dude copied the dude that made the 1st steam powered motor.
Back to the original topic at hand.
I noticed two main differences on the clone vs hpi. The front hub design is different, and the rear hubs are the older style multi piece units, which I think hpi has since replaced with one piece right? Other than that I really could not tell the difference in plastics. They bent and felt the same in my hands.
Also I get my servo here soon and I was curious to what gas/oil ration you all may recomend for the 1st couple of tanks. Some reason I keep finding 1 to 25 but that seems like a lot of oil! I was thinking 1 to 50 like what I would run in the banshee.
