it is cheap cause there is no demand for it, people have put such a negative vibe towards off brand stuff. i have a axial crawler and a exceed razor 1/8 buggy and honestly between the 2 they both have plastic all over the place and i dont see what the big difference between quality.
Are you kidding me? All plastics are NOT the same. Depending on the quality, plastics can range from extremely strong fiber reinforced composite plastics to weak waxy plastics.

its like going to walmart and buying jeans or going to jc pennies and getting there jeans you are just buying a name, all the parts come from china anyways.
You haven't really taken the time to see where they come from have you? Just yesterday I bought a shirt from Pennies and guess where it was made? Bangladesh (not the best but much better than china). While there ARE a lot of chinese products floating around, they AREN'T all chinese.

its more about how much can you spend without breaking the bank.
Actually, I find "You get what you pay for." more appropriate.
