Marder Alternatives
Ok ive been wanting a FG marder and ive seen alternatives. I'm just not sure which ones are knock offs and which ones are good alternatives. Ive seen the XTM 1/5 scale buggy that looks exactly like a marder, and ive also seen the XTM Grizzly, which looks exactly like a carson comanche. And then the smartech traveller also looks like the XTM buggy. Can somebody tell me what is going on here with all these different brands producing similar cars?
And finally, the Mutilator 6. I'm not even sure that the m6 is a knock off of the marder. It looks different and actualy has a real zenoah.
Can somebody advise?

I have a Smartech Spider, its the same as the Traveller/Firehammer/XTM Buggy, they are all exactly the same, and are all made by Smartech. The same goes for the trucks, all parts are interchangable. I bought the Spider because it only cost $500 after shipping.
