Cloned Slipperential?

This absolutely does suck - big time.

Bondo, a better idea would be to set up new accounts - then do it - and therefore won't tarnish your account.

The problem we have is that it is patent pending and not an actual patent - which opens the design up to copying pretty badly - particularly if the other 'company' get a Chinese patent on it first (as the US system seems pretty slow).
