Lee Martin to leave Tamiya??
 

If you check his facebook page 'Lee Martin RC', his latest post from this evening is "end of an era??".

I am just speculating, as it would be a shame for my favourite RC company to lose such a great driver!

:o

Was reading tonight that tebo's contract is up with with Kyosho and Truhe to leave losi, it's a right merry go round this year:lol:

I am curios to see where Bloomfield, Tebo, Martin, Hupo etc will end up racing for in 2014.

Brawn GP have set up their own RC company...

What a team they'd make!

I heard yesterday where Hupo was going. Not sure if its true tho so I won't put it here. Not a massive surprise tho.

Depends who told you simon, I think the lee martin thing is a wind up and tebo was stating is contract was up at the end of the year and was saying he wonders if there is another 5 year contract on the go but did also say is they going to any other changes to his other sponsors in 2014

Tebo
 

Would be surprised if Tebo leaves Kyosho as they have a few "Jared Tebo" edition cars out. Which would mean they will struggle to shift them.

Naa Tebo would be mad to change, kyosho is the best car package for a 10th and 8th driver IMO, his contract maybe ending but can't see kyosho not offering the same again

Hear through the rumour mill that Lee Martin is Yokomo bound

Along with everyone else....

Lee and Hupo on Yokomo?

At least it seems like Yokomo is really gaining ground in Europe these days, nice to see! :thumbsup:

CML will have there work cut out giving both AE and yokomo 100%,think AE would rather they were pushing just the one product.

True, but if Yokomo sign someone up to a factory deal it doesn't really affect the distributor except for all the extra sales.

I don't know if/where Lee is changing but look at Tamiya, factory deal (at least I presume it wasn't hobbyco!!) and look at how many people then ran the car...so I doubt CML would be too upset!

Being able to actually buy a tamiya would have probably been useful :bored:

This.

Hupo's going Team C:thumbsup:

Haha true, but look at how many people ran them in Lee's first year...these top guys shift kits.

My guesses
 

That's what I heard too, so
Hupo- team C
Leeroy- Yokomo
Hara- xray (guess)
Tebo- kyosho (think he'll resign cause kyosho deal has gotta be good)
:-)
