To be honest that "design" of alloy tower mounts with a seprate carbon tower was actually first used on the B4 and designed by KFactory, it has just been copied/adapted/carried on by "EVERYONE" else from there.

In our DMS Partz range we made a replacement carbon tower for the B4 mounts that KFactory did (since theirs was not available on its own if you broke it and ours was pure carbon at the time and theirs was not).

Noel (Cream) then made his superb mounts for these type of towers too (as did MK at the time, but the Cream ones were always much nicer - hence why we have teamed up with Noel to bag them with our towers in a set). Noel sold them also, then eventually made his own version of the "tower" so he could sell it with his mounts too in his own set.

The idea then got applied to other cars, including the DEX210, but lets not carried away here guys, the idea/design does in fact originate from KFactory, all others have copied, borrowed and improved on it from them....

This topic of "copying" came up a few weeks back about the RDRP option items for the DEX210 when they were accused of copying, yet in that case RDRP first showed their prototypes over 4 months before any others were even out, yet they still got accused of being the "copy cats", some people need to look at dates and facts before they point the finger incorrectly sadly.

At the end of the day, copying is never nice, how do you think X-Factory reacted when they saw the first mid motor buggies from Team C/Ansmann, they are as close as you can get without being exact in so many ways, but they have simply said they cannot stop it and that it is the best form of flattery to have somthing copied that closely............
