guy trash talking on hobbycity forum!

I guess I could be reading too much into it. To me it looked like someone saying "here is the best we have to offer, please copy this and sell it to me half price" It wouldn't have gigged me so much if he'd just told what he would like to see in a controller, asked if they had it, and went on. It just didn't sit well the posting of the the competitors acutal products, then saying "So any chances of some more good quality Chinese ESC's to shake the giants Novak and Castle Creations success?" Like I said, it kind of makes me a hypocrite since I just purchased a couple china made knock offs myself. We all know its going on, just sucks to see it spelled out so plainly.

Trust me, Chinese manufacturers need no help knocking off original designs from American R/C engineering companies. And, with this serious economic downturn, there will be even more copying.

Every successful design has been, or will be, KOd. Look at the EVX2, the Velineon, the Xcelorin---Horizon managed to copy both Castle and Novak with their new BL releases.

(It's so "gratifying" when a major distributor copies a vendor's best selling items----it's only business, they say. And who, better than a distributor, knows just which items to KO?)

actually I should have put this in the general discussion if someone wouldn't mind moving it. Thanks

I have some of the so called Chinese controllers and let me tell you they are not knock off anymore. They are now using their own design and from the ones I have, they are very solid. I'm currently helping a new company develop a new 1/10 scale ESC and if they add all the features you will see one amazing controller.
