AE or Kyosho would have the pocket book for him, Does AE have any ranked Japanese drivers? Knowing that Yokomo and AE had a partnership BITD, and it appears they are a major player for AE Importer....

Not going to lie, he and Martin were a big reason why I want to switch to Yokomo for 2015. Ive been a loyal AE guy since I started over 16 yrs ago.
Time will tell...
