It's a real shame that Tamiya haven't explored the UK market or is that due to the HOBBY CO .
The world of RC woke up though when TRF won the back to back world championships in touring cars (a feat no other company has done). So maybe just maybe if they win the 4wd offroad championships this year things may change or maybe not
Jamie Booth used to run for Richard Konstan I beleive, the previous Tamiya distributor, Isshy, I beleive, is tied in with the Eurocup.

As for Hobby Co, my Tamiiya sponsor, Fusion Hobbies, has no end of problems getting stuff 'TRF' related from Hobby Co, Hobby Co complain that most people buy from Asia, but wont drop their prices and wont stock them in reasonable amounts that makes them easy to get....
