Funny thing is all the 1/5 cost about the same to manufacture...........HPI baja cost the same as a clone baja to manufacture.....FG cost as much as a firehammer to manufacturer.
You forgot one thing: The cloners get money from their countries to do business where FG or MCD for example do not get any money to make their RCs. So, the cloners can make their RCs for considerably cheaper.
