Hobbyking stocking Baja 5b Clones! - RC-Monster Forums

12.22.2010, 03:35 PM

I'm not going to lie, I have been against clones like this for a long time, but man, for that price it's really tempting... For an E conversion though a Baja SS kit with the fuelie stuff sold off would probably be just a bit more expensive. $400 bucks though? That's cheaper than a Revo/Flux/Most Truggies..

On a side note though, how is this sort of thing not illegal? I mean it's a 99-100% replica of the HPI Baja.

I always loved the idea of a Baja. I guess this might put me closer to that idea.

Your all forgetting one thing about HobbyKing, shipping = arm + leg

I added it to cart to see what the shipping charge would be and it's only $37.00 USPS priority mail!

I think this is a bit too big for priority mail, isn't it?

It is illegal, it's just pretty much impossible to enforce the laws overseas where they are made, and in HK bootlegging seems to be more or less accepted because it's a big part of their economy.
