Same or different

Just a quick question.

Is TopCad and Top Racing the same company?? MyLHS has "Top Racing" parts that look very similar to the "TopCad" parts on this shop.

Thanks

Clone parts

I reckon TopCAD, TOP Racing, RCRM and Eagle are all made by the same company. The anodising differs and that's about it.

Looking at the pics of the parts, they are exactly the same, perhaps some company churns them out and the 'hop up' companies just order them anodised and repackage them.

The 'common denominator' parts that I've seen are: Wheels, Motor mounts, ball-diffs, side-shock sets and rear shocks.

Yeah, and I heard that Top Racing parts are made in China, instead of Japan, so some people don't trust them... May just be a bit of over-cautiousness, but considering I broke two Top Racing carbon H-plates this past week-end, I don't know...
