Was having a look around on ebay today and found something that made me laugh so thought i would share it. Wonder what brand name they are trying to copy haha apparently it does 20mph. Doesnt show any pictures of the chassis though

Only 30 quid. Almost tempted to get it and run it into walls ( says in the description not to do that haha )

If you use google you will find it's from 2010 and apperantly 1:14 scale

Probably a toy grade chassis pretty much.

Might be a clone of the QD chassis maybe, you can see a similar looking motor heatsink through the lexan.

Don't bet on it. I've seen a ton of hobby grade bangood stuff floating about. It's actually incredible that they could afford the number of molds and tooling to make some of them and still make profit at 50 bucks

Well I’ve stupidly ordered one

They are 1/10, my brother bought the body shell for one of his Tamiya’s..

literally shattered in impact though, so wouldn’t hold out too much hope for the car ! Saying that, you never know!

To be fair this is prob ok for bashing if it turns up ?

I’m a bit rabid on knock off kits vs the old red n blue tho ...

Both here - and the Bruiser clone / others 

Aftermarket repro of discontinued parts + unimagined hop ups is pretty much fine imo but - if budget forces a compromise or kits - just buy something original you can afford ?

Don’t dilute a brand we all love !
