In the RC world, one can't be too picky. Last decade(s) seems desing of toys have stepped up tremendously. I remember as a kid, always getting/buying mx-toys, NONE looked like a real bike, they all reminded me of Frankenstein's monster, 90% had a rake like they where smashed in the wall or something, or they had a 400 lbs dwarf abusing them. Always had to reshape them with a lighter etc.

Then I remember going to the GPs a decade ago and toy companies started producing replicas of real dirt bikes, still twisted and all to morph into something amazing the last five years or so.

Compare this (Sans the exhaust it can be bend right)

We come a long way, to bad one isn't a kid any more (I bough one of those KXFs though, )
