Most folks know by now that a bunch of factories in Shandong Province are making 1-tonish minis off the same set of plans, with some variations. One thing I noticed on my Rhino XN08 was that 2 welds were missing on one of the 2 bucket links, but not the other. Very strange.
When I contacted my salesperson, she gave me a bizarre and meaningless response, in red on my photo.
Since then, I have seen this same omission copied on most of the other minis from China. Five of the six otherwise identical minis that a local friend bought shared this exact defect.
Now I see an importer in the US is selling these links, one welded, and one not!
I have not seen an AgroTK, Loongsheen, HighTop, Nuoman, or Typhon up close. Anyone else's mini have this same defect?
