You could say it's a rip off - and in a way that's a bit sad - But every brand does it. However, to me there's not much wrong with that unless it's to such an extent that manufacturers get of course, get blinded and stop innovating (because they are afraid to do something radical and new).

I think it's a clever move of Losi to pick up the ideas of the DEX210 quickly - as they are great ideas
Same thing happened with the bj4/b44 and whatever the hot bodies buggy was.
