Is this a ripoff 5T? I cant tell if it is, I have never seen the 5t or 5B up close. I would hope it would take alot longer for them to duplicate it, but money talkes I guess. :? Kind of like the body, but it doesn't look like it fits right.

Those were available over a year ago I believe. I looked at that body at the very least.

Large scale gas stuff has been around for a while, HPI wasn't the first ones in the game either. Thats not a copy at all.

As for the knock offs, a local guy got a knock off china 5B, and it was the exact same thing as the real 5B. Everything is identical, and the quality is the same.

it's a xtm grizzly, duratrax firehammer mt, carson monster. they're known as "the clones" in large scale. i think the body is a copy of an fg.

I figured it was a copy of something, didn't know what.

Marder ripoffs I think.

Well you also have to remember that some of the big name companies rebadge certian products. Im sure that when most of the manufacturing is done over seas things are bound to be copied. Ebay was flooded 5 years ago with T-maxx clones that sold for a third of a real T-maxx. Part for part they were identical. Dont knock all of the clones because there are some serious values out there, They just wont have the original manufacturer logos.
