Yeah, people who want a hpi baja will buy it, the clones will sell to people who do not have the money to buy the hpi version.
As far as supporting HPI goes, you can take that to an extreme and say that hobbyists should pick just one mfg and only buy cars from that one mfg. But that would be dumb...
And it is not like HPI has started the 5th scale class, or has a ton invested in the baja design. It is not that revolutionary.
I bought a used baja, so who am I supporting?
