If only they made one of these 1/10 scale - Stop the steal!

Definitely have no interest in buying AE's copy of someone else's design. If anything, this has got me more interested in doing a FW Ten4.1 conversion.

My order status just changed to awaiting shipment.

Well, yesterday got the email that it being prepared for shipment, and today at 10am was shipped. See when the hobby shop calls me for the other one and see which gets here first.

Will Jeff get a cut of the proceeds since they stole his design?

I just received my UPS tracking number too. Very surprised they are shipping this quickly after pre-order.

They should , at least give credit to the him for the ideas they have implemented...

Kits are moving quick with you guys in the US.. Just checked Modelsport here in the UK and surprisingly they say stock on the 8th of march.. so early next week for me maybe

I'm thinking I see the best 4wd ever made in Blue there by AE, cough, Yokomo.

So in the case of the RC10 4WD, AE is not doing a re-re of a kit, rather they are doing a re-re of a concept. That concept being the marketing of someone else's 4WD buggy as their own.


AE 4WD buggy designers:

Yokomo
Jeff

Jeff is in pretty good company!

From what I understand, AE won't even give him a thank you, nor even a discount code for their kit of his own design. Chinese AE can suck on......

Lol, yeah I got way less than a thank you
Can't wait to get mine and compare the build.

The folks in the US are perfectly capable of sending a formal, or at least heartfelt, thank you, and gifting a kit. It ain't a China problem.
