because they're half the price is the main reason.
90% of the time, cars that are half the price of something are usually half the quality as well.
my KM has been good to me the little I did drive it, and i drive the **** out of my rc cars...
but side by side I can see a quality difference in the KM and HPI baja's...and the KM is half the price...and in some cases, most of the plastic parts were half the quality...
so you take something thats half the quality of another model that is already half the quality of the original QUALITY model, well...I think in this case its safe to use something like this:
q= quality=.5
qxq= dont waste the money
or
.5x.5=.25(dont waste the money)
get a KM if you dont want to spend too much...I'm happy with mine, and the only problem I have had was a bad engine..but I also bought mine used and dont know the history of it..
and with a new Zen engine on the way with an x-can, and replacing all the plastic parts with HPI parts, I still have not spent $700..
