I also noticed it with Yokomo vs Losi. I had a BMax and the tollerances were non-existant. Everything went together snug. Losi was better then the associated in my opinion. I just think it may be a Japenese thing, everything they done is amazing. I even bough snap poly bags in a 100 yen shop there on holiday and they surpase anything i have ever bought on ebay.
You are right about the quality and sales thing, the bottom line is important. I just am frustrated that associated did not include 6 grub screws for the slop on the hub carriers, but include a big bottle of shock oil (that even Kyosho do not include).
I think i will always stick to Japense now.
