It's very difficult to make stick lacks fit past the spur without a very wide car, so what did you think they'd do? It's either a bj4 copy or a Durango copy, that's their two options!

As I said earlier, if you want to have a go about copying, do it about the 501!!

Oh, sorry, forgot, they could have made it plastic and you'd have called it a bmax clone!!

Ultimately, it will almost certainly have unique weight distribution, the top decks are clearly different design/flax, the steering will probably end up being Tamiya (a guess admittedly!), and the suspension carries ver from their own Euro/Brit champ winning 511, what more would you expect?

I expected something with a bit more individuality, something that stands out as a Tamiya with some forward thinking ideas. I understand that options are limited but Durango and Kyosho managed to differ from the BJ4 and still have good cars.
