I hear you its too expensive should be more like £700 or so because its a clone and obviously real is better than copy but it is still a quality car i just have a beef with the guys who are completely against the clones i wont lie my first baja was genuine hpi second was a clone but it was also the first time i actually had one with upgrades i didnt upgrade the original and sold it they i worked on the clone / rovan because it already had some upgrades it is what kept me in the hobby i used to only buy genuine hpi plastic parts then found i was able to upgrade the rovan for the same price but with shiny alloy as i paid for plastics then slowly moved on to turtle racing etc but im greatful for the clones i know so many people who cant go and buy a losi but they can affort a rovan lt or km x2 and so on also the clones are slowly forcing prices down and the clone companys also have good customer support in my experienceno no no don't get me wrong, im glad rovan and king motor exist, they have gotten so many people into the hobby and are very good for the price, they have pretty much revived the Baja platform, but this one costs way too much, its not worth it to me when the real mcd with better quality parts is not too much more.
Im not saying your wrong but imagine telling someone their rc is poop just cause its a clone lol and yeah the rovan price is too close to the genuine mcd hands down so if i bit anyones head off my bad but other than the price of the f5 its a good platform 100% cheaper alloy is still alloy better than plasticnot saying its gonna fall apart, I'm saying they are charging a very similar amount for a lesser product than something that is better (mcd), that's not saying that the rovan will fall apart, I'm just saying they are charging too much and i would rather have the real deal mcd. also if you can save up 1250, im sure you can save a little bit more for the mcd, its not like their baja, people who can save up 450 for a rovan baja most likely cant save 1200 for the real baja, too big of a price gap, but someone who can save 1250, can most likely save a bit more to get a mcd because the price gap isnt alot, if that makes sense.
