James, the Academy is made of rubber; how do you even remotely consider it to be well designed if they couldn't even get their materials right?
The XXX4 is pretty poor and always has been, the only reason it did so well was at the time it was just about the only race spec car that had good support, so everyone ran it.

What exactly do you want, motor mounted on the end of the wing mounts?!
By your logic any car that slightly resembles another car in layout or whatever is automatically a load of rubbish, then you go and say the Academy is great despite the origonal being a carbon copy of the first gen shaft drive cars and the new one a carbon copy of the BJ4WE
You do know the prototype 501's used BJ4 suspention, then for the production models Tamiya just made their own moulds of parts but kept the geometry?
