To be fair to CML here, I don't think there would be many firms wishing to step in, I think the high price of the parts trade may be a worry to anyone putting a company into a position of holding stock as dead stock would be a major worry, also I have no idea if yokomo require a minimum stock order if you wish to be an importer..that could cost a few quid up front.

it surprises me that yokomo have not looked around for a new importer as CML push AE in a big way and the B44 is a competitor to the Bmax and the B4 is a hard car to beat in the market place when it comes to 2wd,If I were yokomo I would have thought about shifting to another importer that would push their brand harder. also American companys can be very agressive to deal in the market place if you were the uk importer for AE and started to push another companys product hard, thats a direct competitor to AE I don't think it would be long before your phone rang or some Emails headed your way.

I would never be shocked if yokomo went the same way as Kyosho and mugen going with an importer for europe rather than uk

Just my thoughts ...and bad spellings
