There is a difference between imitation and counterfeiting. When you make something look indistinguishable from another manufacturer, hoping that people believe it is the same product, that's counterfeiting. That's what this looks like to me.

Yes, and it is not only unethical, it is illegal in most cases.

I am sorry but to me that is laughable. Clone or knock off products are never of good quality. There is no logical way they can offer a product of even close to the same quality when they are charging a fraction of what the original quality product costs.

But WHY, WHY does (almost) everyone defend CC? And why does HK gets bashed like this? About 90% of those CC defenders buy cheapass Zippy (Turnigy/Flightmax/whatever they're called) LiPo's.

That MAY be true in some cases but myself I wont touch anything from HobbyKing. I refuse to support a company that I know is in my perception steeling from others.

My statmend was not about the clones

i have alot of wires, connectors, chargers and batterys from them and all is of pretty decent quality at an decent price.
especially like the 10c charge rate and the ultra nice 1000 watt icharger.

im no fan off rebranding chinese lipo and sell them at 3x the price, then you could get an korean made lipo at the same price
