So what if it has the same layout as the Bmax4, HB D4, & B44...and is all plastic. Hard to reinvent the wheel. Should they have copied the ZX5FS? Don't most 1/12 look the same? Heck even 2wd buggies. Same layout...all plastic. You can say the same for F1 racing! Do those F1 teams lack class by trying to copy each other?
Academy is a plastic model co. first. So why wouldn't they go all plastic.
Stop drinking this stuff.
