Plus the difference with Kyosho doing it, and Abisma, is that Kyosho is a world known successful company - Abisma was a small company that many UK drivers laughed at - SMD changed that and they thank them by parting ways, short notice, at Christmas - nice.

Again, business mate, they most likely planned to drop SMD at some point all along, SMD do all the hard work building your reputation, once uk turnover hits certain point you drop them cut out the middle man and supply direct, as you feel your product has now made such an impact on the market your customers will follow the product no matter how it gets to them, and it's a great plan round the boardroom table and on a powerpoint display.BUT weather it works at ground level, well thats a different matter .Business has no heart its just all about money, 10min watching allen sugar, he's a lovely man
