Cloned Slipperential? - RC-Monster Forums

WOW that sucks. Nothing is safe these days. I have to wonder if there really is anything that can be done to stop this considering all of the red tape involved with international laws and such. I wonder if contacting the Department of State and sharing this infringement would help any? I know they have a whole deaprtment that deals with counterfit stuff being made in foreign countries. Diplomacy is a key factor in allot of these situations with our so called allies. You know only the kids on TRX will buy them.

Well, in any case, it's good that pretty much every TRX product can't use the slipperential without some serious modification - and any enthusiast capable of that probably knows the difference and will buy the real deal from Mike.

Hey Mike,

Good luck with this. They ripped off our Revo conversion a while back, but there was nothing we could do. This is a little different since they actually copied a patent pending part. So hopefully they'll think twice about it in the future. The only way to combat this kind of stuff is to stay ahead of them on the design side of things. I'm sure the Slipperential won't be the last RC-Monster innovation. Keep your head up (I'm sure it's up and ready to kick some ass!).
