Now this is what I really don't understand that diecast manufacturers can't even come up with ideas like this, they claim that it can't work that the body would be too heavy but we're all seeing it work right under our noses live here. I don't get it. Even if the diecast bodies will have to be way lighter than these heavy versions. What's really the big deal with this issue. I would want to start buying things like this ASAP.
