If somebody like, say Ellis / Cragg / Doughty / Martin / Yardy (and yes Woody) etc, had been offered a deal they couldn't turn down by Kyosho and had taken up the cars then I am sure that there would have been a big swing to the cars when people saw them winning weekend after weekend.
Please keep comments in context. |
I totally agree! But is it the local shops, or the guys on the head centre of Kyosho in Englang who decide who and what that will get a sponsorship?
If it is the local shops I understand why the support is so bad as it is now. Here in Norway Kyosho have started at least 10 new shops the last year, and guess whos work and own those shops? Some totally rookies who think they can run a rc-hobby store just like any shop at all. No, you need to have som knowledge in what you're selling.
I asked my local Kyosho store for some kind of sponsorship, but never got any reply. Maybe he don't care, which I think is very bad. Maybe he didn't want to make a such decition, but he could wrote a reply...
Therefor I bought a B4 who will arrive any day by now...
Sure I could have bought a Rb5, but I don't want to use a lot time on making the car work properly. Is soo much easier to just get a B4, and copy some others setup and work yourself from there...
