I think he'll end up with hotbodies/hpi. They are essentially Japanese, riding on the back of a 1/8th worlds win and looking for the 1/10th worlds win. They have a developing 4wd chassis, and a 2wd chassis that will appear for the worlds. They do TC and may want to develop a 1/12th platform.That's who my money is on today ;-)
You forgot Tamiya...Except Kyosho, They are close of him...they will made a 1/12 On Road car for competition, they've got their Off Road package 2wd & 4wd...(I suppose that Lee Martin could say that the cars are good)...and Tamiya can offer the same or more than Yokomo...on Travels and Yens...

But, out of this speculation, I think it's stupid from Naoto...right now he's alone.
He get, at every race, somebody to take care and prepare his cars...He will not met the same in an other manufacturer...
