You guys think the 5ive will be cloned any time soon?
Or do they need to be a HPI to be cloned like they have so far?

one of the cloning co.'s will clone just not now, more like 1-3yrs out, certain copy right ,trademarks , etc need to run out, i think rovan will be the first to do it, KM already has the 5tsc cloned, T2000.
just give em enough time and they will out and about

There are a few FG clones out there so its not just HPI's. The difference is that HPI clones are slated all over the net by HPI lovers so its more publicised but then the same HPI faithful take their beloved baja and remove most of the HPI parts from it and use after market parts effectively turning it into a clone of a HPI baja :lol::lol: If you are going to do that you may as well buy a clone & save some money for your hop-ups!
I would say the 5ive will be copied by Chinese manufacturers very soon due to how popular it is.

Im mainly just into the 4wd aspect of it. HPI never made a 4wd in a baja did they, or atleast not yet? I saw a clone advertised as 4wd earlier today but it didnt have any pics of the drive train.

When you get an HT alloy rear suspension kit off Hobbythek, is that FG or 'alternatively and externally sourced', aka A CLONE?
That's what I have at the rear of my FG MT ....
Is it still an FG? !!!
