The kit looks good to me. I don't think they've aimed to "copy" anyone...it's just that the one-piece motor mount/centre diff bulk design is the best design to use; it's proven. Having the batteries mounted off each side of the chassis obviously isn't ideal, but it seems to me that this kit is a stop-gap so that those with nitro buggies (and who might not be too mechanically inclined) can easily convert without having to do any custom work. As soon as factory-design electric 1/8th buggies start appearing on the market, conversion kits will soon disappear.
Think of this like the old truggy conversion kits that you used to be able to buy for buggies.
