there is nothing the same about the cars! If every shaft car has the similar layout (and they do), does that mean EVERY company copied someone?
It is STILL nowhere near a RS4 3 LOL and FYI, HPI didn't set the standard on that layout. Kyosho pretty much pioneered that one.
Look at the suspension geometry... the RS4 3 has pogo like suspension. Not to mention... the placement of everything and CG is way better on the kyosho. The kyoshos... will do circles around the HPI vehicles. You want something else to argue? Then why does Associated utilize the SAME layout on the NTC3, just mirrored?
Everything happens to be in the same place? Well here is a thought... its how many touring cars are set up... how about a big Duh? Oh no... the OFNA CD3 is also planned out like that too!!! that must mean they copied everyone! Well guess what, its how the majority SHAFT DRIVEN CARS are set up. lol
So if you think they copied them... then i suppose you think everyone copied the 1/10 electric buggy and truck layout? I mean, all transmissions are in the back of the vehicle, the motors are back there too you know. The batteries go in the middle of the chassis, and they are all the same shape! The suspension arms are all similar, and so is the geometry they have set...
Lets move onto 1/8 scale... offroad. Kyosho has really dominated at the IFMARS, so I mean... everyone had to have copied them. All the differentials are placed at the front, center and rear of the vehicle. The engines are in the same place, fuel tank, exhausts, and so are the electronics, chassis braces and so on...
There is a reason that all the manufacturers use similar layouts when planning vehicles lol.
There is nothing more to say, you'll argue everything because its "obviously" the same when someone else has something that looks the same to you.
:hi:
And now here is something thats well deserved... An apology for being harsh in this post. My point has been made. :worship:
