And as said in si Coe post,if the wheels work racers will want them UK's market will just have to keep up like it or not.

Both Mugen and kyosho made an educated gamble with the uk market by dumping UK importers,it was a risk, but it showed how small our market is for that risk to be worth taking,Tamiya always show us how small we are

Just have to wait and see what goes on, just my view on it, may never happen eh,

No really I understood your point as well. It's a fair point made. I guess I missed: they are irrelevant to the UK market "now" ;-)

Has anyone spoken to Paul Worsley for his take on it?

AKA are Kyosho/Orion. I do see the likes of proline and jconcept fighting it out though, however if they are loosing sales to a well performing product, they will follow suit. I see they are allowed at the cactus classic with AKA sponsored drivers running them.

I actually think it looks like a decent method of attachment and can only prove better than some of the badly fitting wheels/tyres that we current use. Schumacher tyres on xray xb4 wheels are particularly badly fitting. The tyre bead sits higher than the rim, and you've a big gap to fill with glue.
