We've had the hpi baja conversion kit out for a while now so you would think HPI would have signed up a deal somewhere to line there pockets. Mike has a conversion kit as do castle (aside from the electronics) but there is no rtr baja...??!! Fg were also one of the leaders in large scale but they don't seem to have any conversion kits or rtr brushless kits...WTF??
As far as I'm aware large scale electric used to be owned by
Netzfalke and
Aqwut. Now you can get a few rtr cars -
XBE and
Shredder series and also HSP! They must've sold out in the last few hours cause I can't find it on the website anymore but here is the email I got -
They all seem to be going down the Finedesign theory of
just enough power for them. The HSP might be a redcat ripoff but it's available unlike an rtr FG or HPI. Maybe they are waiting for the price of motors to come down
Yes it would be a smaller market to them but I think they are losing out to the clones as a result.
Is it just me or does it seem the back end is leading the brushless 1/5 market
