Well-i still think everybody has to decide or him/herself on the personal preference. In my club, we have mixed wedico, tamiya & scaleart and despite the sliggt scale difference we have lots of fun playing all together.

In addition: i have seen trucks based on "bruder cabs" or tamiya, which have been amazing!

My main priority is the building of a truck: saving the $/€, acuqiring the parts and building models for use (i focus on construction type of trucks) - my majority of trucks rely on wedico cabs and chassis, axles are from rust/scaleart, suspension from osswald/premacon, gearboxes are from wedico/veroma/scaleart being complemented by wedico/servonaut/scaleart/leimbach additions - so i like bilding best of breed :-)

I have seen the last tamiya actros and price/performance is simply amazing (compare the whole kit just with a scaleart gearbox...)

Some of us enjoy building kit models, others prefer custom builts - its a hobby, so we should accept different preferences and styles.

Last comment regardi g wedico: they clearly created this hobby, but today it is not sufficient to live from the brand and innovate, otherwise you are easily surpussed by the competitiors
