Castle looking ESC coming to hobbyking

junkman hobbyking have cloned TRX connectors and also clone Futaba and Spektrum Rx but not the surface ones. Yet.

Is a rx that is compatible with futaba and spektrum cloning? How is it any different from novak, tekin, dynamite, making rx's that were compatible with futaba, airtronics, and jr, 20 years ago? I don't remember anyone thinking twice about it back then. I had forgotten about the trx connectors. I do wonder why none of the china companies clone traxxas stuff? I'd say it is one of the most popular selling brands. They clone the 5b, couple tamiya cars, but not a revo, or slash 4x4, and there is some reason, curious to why that is. To knez I'd take the hc deans over the real ones anyday, and I really blame this one on deans. The hc have the ribs and are easier to unplug, and don't loose their springyness near as quick as the real deal. I have replaced several real ones with the hc's because they were wore out. Why deans doesn't update theirs, or at least lower their price for not having these features I have no idea. I am not trying to come off all pro-china here. I do buy quality stuff, have 5 mmm, 3mm, 3 mamba 25's, and a bunch of motors, and they are geat products. For what they can do, and the price of a mmm, I do not think they can be beat.

I remember seeing a revo clone some years back, and of course a tmaxx clone as well....if not several different tmaxx clones. There have also been LST clones all over ebay, but havent seen one for a few yrs. The LST clones were a direct copy right down to the paint scheme even, just stickers that were different but had the "LST" look to them still.

haha, thats shabby looking. seriously what are they thinking its like an rx8 and mm fused togheter in a strange way.
interesting price tag though, but i will not buy it.
