Dont know if the pressing IP issue raised by western country is more responsible, but first time HC has put a "(FAKE)" disclaimer beside a Cloned/Copied product. Interesting to see!!!

HobbyKing have been selling the cloned Imax for a few years now. The warning has been there for more than 2 years. I purchased the genuine Imax about 3 years ago from another dealer. It died after 2 months and I replaced it with the clone, it's still working and doing a good job. Not the best charger on the market but definitely suitable for someone strapped for cash.

I might add that I tried to get the original replaced under warranty. The seller totally ignored every email I sent to him.   Happy flying  ... Stu
