My first mech was a sigelei 19 and turned out to be the worse one Ive ever seen. Then a Sentinel clone which was adequate. Then an Nzonic V3 which opened my eyes, then a Poldiac. There's nothing like the high end ones, but I needed to try the clones to get me there.
I couldnt agree more. Clones opened up my eyes to quality products. Without those clones, id still be repping my ghetto modified k101. Side note: i was on the fence with the nzonic V3 and atom, still thinking about getting one!
