Ya I agree completely, the question is, who?
Im fairly certain we will see both versions here in the states. Ive been a fan of Redcat ever since I purchased my first Rampage. Yes I know they need some work out of the box, but they can be made into some very nice machines. Darin@ Redcat and Rob@Rampagehopups have always been very good to me, and I would prefer to support them if possible.
I decided to try out 1/10 on road. Instead of buying a Redcat I jumped the gun and bought an Ofna JL-10e w/a MMP 5700kv combo. Then after buying pinions, a steering servo, an extra RX, a 3s 5k mah lipo and a body im into it for just over $450. My friend, after hearing me preach Redcat buys the Lightning EPX Pro for $159 shipped RTR. He chucks the nimh battery and buys a 3s lipo, so hes sittin at $200 rtr. After a few runs I begin to notice something. His runs cooler, is just as fast both in speed and acceleration, and hasnt gotten leaky shocks or diffs like my Ofna. I guess I shoulda taken my own advice.

I dont know about the KM/Rovans being the same OEM. I havent really looked into it.But I do know there are several companies that buy from HSP under their own brand. Redcat just happens to be the one in the United States.
