I know and I am not blaming them. It's just that lookalikes (mp777, X1CR, Mbx5 etc...) already flood the market. I was honestly hoping to see something different this time.

Losi, Magic, Piktor 2, aren't those different enough?

It is one of the best looking though, along with XRay and Kyosho.

I really like the finish of everything. It has a very top notch finish. In terms of layout, it looks like an X-Ray or a C-hub'd Mugen to me.

Looks like a simple, easy to work on design, but I"m wondering about the front upper links. Won't that make for one flimsy front end?

Wow......worst servo access ever. The fuel tank only slightly resembles the XB8 tank! Overall it looks like a nice buggy, but like other people I've also got to ask why? It's not like this buggy is going to have massive support from hobby shops or have a giant race team behind it. The inner hinge pin mounts are different though, I wonder what the story is with them?
