As it stands now it just seems like they wait for something new to come out and then copy it. That may not be the intention but so far the brace and basket are clones. If my pistons were molded plastic, red, green and purple and made to only fit a first gen RC10 tub buggy or slash then you would have a point, but you dont
Let me add that i dont know him or ever talked to him and he is probably a great guy, i only know what i see.
So throwing some facts out there Billy has been involved in racing for 20-25 years .He has built real trophy trucks that have won major races such as the Baja 1000 . That is besides the point though his chassis brace had started with three different designs .I know this for a fact cause we had the first generation braces.Now onto my other thoughts , you guys still acuse him of stealing but what about my examples of,soda,tires,and shock pistons. Mantis in your case you dont know the rpm pistons are for the sc10 ?I bought them a year and a half ago.So yours are different cause the color(If my pistons were molded plastic, red, green and purple)you are using the same exact theory are you not? I like you said about Billy ,I am sure you are a gentleman as well as every other person on here that has voiced their opinions.I am glad that there are smart guys out there figuring out how to make these trucks faster and easier to drive, but in the end the IDEA MEN will lose when the manufatures use YOUR ideas .
