UHM, HELLO PEOPLE. MOST CARS ARE MADE IN CHINA, TAIWAN, JAPAN or some asian country, there is only one US manufacturer and that happens to be Team Associated (that explains there outragous price). You can pay $500 plus for a Kyosho or Ofna OR you can pay $300 for a Redcat Hurricane and guess what, YOU GOT THE SAME CAR. and NO traxxas is NOT manufactured in Plano Texas, that's there corporate office and distribution center.

Is the Hurricane a exact copy of the Kyosho Mp7.5?

Some things are direct fit, some things require a bit of modding. I grabbed a wing support set that one side needed a bit of dremmeling, and the plastic seemed to be a bit more flexible (ie: forgiving).
Bodies... unsure, but would like to know. I'm tired of making my own window masks.

You do know that Associated is owned by Thunder Tiger which I believe is German. So there goes that US manufacturer theory.

Anywho, bodies do fit! its one of the nice pluses Another nice upgrade you can get are the chassis supports, the aftermarket ones for the MP 7.5 are a darn nice bolt in for the hurricane (provided nothing on the main chassis has changed since I got my cane).

I dont get why egos have to flare up over what company does what in what country, but the topic has absolutely nothing to do with who makes what and where its made.

RE: Hurricane same as a Kyosho Mp7.5?
stuff a sock in it Kemo.
LMAO, the Hurricane, Ofna buggies and kyosho buggies are all Identical, all the parts fit each other, only One companies have the parts at a reasonable price and that's Hi Speed Toys (Redcat/Himoto/Exceed and god knows how many other names). I know this for a fact because i have several CUSTOMERS that come to our store and BUY HURRICANE parts for there KYOSHO and OFNA buggies, because the HURRICANE parts are cheaper and made of the same material and if I didn't know any better possibly come from the SAME mold as the Ofna and Kyosho buggies, Except Kyosho is japan if I'm not mistaken.

i'm sorry when was the last time you had a customer brind a kyosho in to get parts? OH WAIT, I know when NEVER, if you knew what you were talking about half the timeyou would be dangerous kemo. The kyosho buggy, hurricane and ofna buggy are exactally the same with one exception the kyosho diff gears are a tad bigger other than thet every thing else is the same.

What do you mean by "OFNA buggy"? OFNA distributes quite a few different buggies!
