It's all very well going down the RTR route, but not much good if you get all these people into racing and they then need something competitive so have to turn elsewhere to companies such as Associated/Kyosho?
I can understand why they're not putting in $$$$ to 1/10th though, it's all very well saying "half the field at Oz were Losi's" - But that to me makes up what 60 cars max??? On the grand scale of things, that is absolutely feck all is it really???
America is where it matters to be honest, if it's dying out there for them they're not going to justify all the $$$$'s needed to design anything new just because there maybe 60 Losi cars at a UK national........ the scene over here must be like a drop in the ocean compared to what gets spent in the US?
Considering we don't have one off road track (that i know of) that has a permenant shop just shows really as sooo soooo many in the USA do - think how much money they must turn over daily and not just on race days as they can provide a testing ground for people to come and have a play! That's got to be the best way to sell these kind of products?
