Hmm, tbh I think Durango could win out of it anyway. There was a knock of 416 a little while ago, NOONE who bought it would have ever bought the real car due to price (or at least, certainly not new), but the knock off had 5 or 6 things wrong on it which meant all who bought it had to buy Tamiya parts to put on it, hence money to Tamiya.
Then, having seen it was pretty quick for the 2 laps before falling apart, a couple o the guys did then go and buy a 416.
Tamiya sold more kits and spares due to the copy, certainly from what I read on it.
Doesn;t make it right (its wrong), but not all doom and gloom either!
