What do you think about team C copy

[canon67]

Having brought you CAD images of the new TC02C 2wd mid motored buggy from Team C last month, today we have received the first photos of this new car. We are told the final version will feature a saddle pack configuration and come with carbon battery plate and aluminium shock absorbers and it is now expected to be released by the end of November.



What do you guys think of this very similar copy of the X-6 i think its ok for compagnies to have a mid motor car but to almos copy the original is humm lets say not to fun but thats life.

Den.

Loves is Xcar.

I dont think its a direct copy... I also dont think it will be as strong as the X6. I think the X6 is about as good as you can get, simple and strong. It will take some beating...

Even so, its a production car, the x factory team are always working hard to keep the x cars at the front and developing new ideas. Its a complement to the design and work that someone copied it, but the development of the x car in parts and design will be an advantage.

I wouldn't imagine the C car would retool a mould just for a trial part, or that the owners will appear on this forum to talk about new features or offer advice about setups etc.

There's more to X factory than just a kit. C Team would need to work hard to beat this company.

not just to pick on this situation, but why do people complain when a new car comes out, all 2wd buggies look the same with the exeption on the mid motor cars, its hard to come out with new ideas these days. Just like when the 201 came out, it looks the same with a little bit differant then the rest, I'm sure this car is no differant, but I know it take more then a fast car to grow your companie, and even if the X car was mediocre, I'm sure it would still be well known. The team c car is just another car, more compatition, whats the issue?

I am not complaining of the new C car i just wanted to now what the Xfactory society thaught of some different vergions of mid motors that resemble the X-6.

Regards and by the way i have a good friend houm is sponcerd by team C and i cant wait to see this car go.

Lover of the X.

Thanks for the compliments, guys. We have seen lots of stuff come from China and elsewhere. It is what it is.

If competitors continue to copy what we do, they will always be behind.

We have been working since the start to keep it that way.

Honestly, and nothing against XFactory here, but had the guys at XFactory chosen to make a name for themselves by copying and liberally using pieces and parts off other companies - - then, maybe, they'd have every right to suggest someone else copied their car. But since every part on "their" car isn't their's, then they don't have a leg to stand on.

And as a result the whole discussion is moot.

Ironically not very mute....

If you read what I posted above I did say that if you looked at the servo back it was very similiar visually..
Since it is only from the servo forward that is mainly "B4" on teh X-Factory car visually your comment seems to carry no weight...

Oh, I've got it now - as long as they only copy HALF the car it's OK.

And the words "moot" and "mute" are entirely different.



So how's the Guiness working for ya today?

Might need to do your home work more Rob, pay attention please

They have NOT copied that end of the car - the front (that end is copied from an RB5 like their previous car - as DCM has said above)

DCM , agreed another thread that will just go in circles with mixed opinions and no real point

Then do please pay attention..............

Soooooooooooooo, like I said, "the whole discussion is moot."

[DCM]

Looking at it, they have used the suspension off the X-pro and have remade the rear gearbox to make it mid motor and I think has taken the option of it being saddle packs and stick packs to.

Yes, it looks like an X-6, but really if you are making a moulded tub with a servo in one place and a motor in another, there is going to be some similarity.

Stupid thread IMHO.
