One of the more attractive features of the car is the anti-shitting bumper design. I guess that feature goes hand-in-hand with anti-squat? :lol:

This has got to be a reference to the Top Gear Arctic trek Hilux with the "Bumper Dumper", surely......

Yep, still found on every single Chinese RTF heli from every manufacturer. They just copy and paste the warning from other helis, just like we would do if we had to put a message in Chinese on there.
Reminds me of this every time I get to repair one.

Well now the topic has been dug up again, I have another couple of examples.

From the GS Racing CLX parts list.

I like how the colour is important, but it might be a bit short for it's intended purpose.

So, GSC-900007BK is this, but in black? I knew I should have thrown down for copyright.....

This isn't RC related, but I sometimes get a laugh out of unintentionally-funny Chinese knockoff vendors on Amazon.

Years ago, I was looking to buy a throne seat for my main drum kit, and this brand popped up in my search, Ichiias. I see they no longer sell the drum throne but they still make chairs.

https://www.amazon.ca/Ichiias-Removable-Armchair-Comfortable-Slipcovers/dp/B083XV2MC1

However, I don't think I want to sit on any chair that's gonna make me scratch my ass...

Found this one a while back:

Yeah, that one is logical though, as the commonly used word for "transformation" in Asia is the Japanese word "henkei", which literally translates to "deformation" in most translation engines.
