HobbiCo buy HPI ?? Is this anything to worry about

A bit worrying if you ask me

If you think about it, HPI have to be the biggest company in RC right now. Read through an RC magazine and how many HB/HPI ads are there? How many hobby shops have their products stacked high and low on the shelves? They even have their own TV show. When I put this first into perspective, it shocked me. If these guys are struggling then how are companies like X Factory going to fare? But maybe the cost of all these adverts and sponsorship deals etc have backfired on them, and they have lost more money than they can gain through the extra sales.
