I agree,but not 100% took kyosho some time to get things right again, mainly due to the effort of two people.At first when FDL took over it was a nightmare,if I raced my 8th car on sunday I needed to do all my maintenance sunday night or monday morning,as if I needed parts from my LHS who supported me I needed to order them by monday to have any chance of getting them by friday or saturday and at that time they didn't want to post one small jiffy bag with one pair of front hubs in from france to the uk, so I went Mugen as stuart at Models in motion would post one little jiffy bag,and it would be there tuesday! And as for mugen now in the uk compared to the days of tedlongshaw then models in motion. Moving to centralised distribution in Europe did no favours for uk drivers, most of whom voted with there feet.

But al lthis said, if you put your business hat on it makes sense,and probably any losses they may make in the small uk market are covered by massive savings else were buy doing this Not that I like it, it's just the way it works and us stamping our feet will make very little difference
