4wd is not that good since they went to shaft drive which is a pity, still cant get it right but the support from Kyosho is second to none so doubt it. Isnt Tony E still with them? Also dont forget the 2wd is very good and recently won the worlds so there should be some top drivers with them.

Welshy, have you driven a ZX6? I think it's an amazingly well balanced car in shorty configuration!

What news who said they won't have any drivers, however TLR seems to have lost a lot of drivers.

I think the question is more who is or was driving for an importers team and who drives direct to the manufacturer In the uk we actually have very few full works drivers direct from the likes of AE,TLR,Kyosho with far more drivers supported by the uk distributor, I suspect distributors are favouring the B team style drive were you still pay for your parts, but less than RRP as this actually creates a captive market, think this is schumachers plan as every other driver seems to be schumacher at the min

I suppose this could be because a lot of worldwide firms now look at the whole of europe as one including the uk. And kyosho has never had a massive team in the uk, just a good following who like a quality car…….and they have roger who sleeps in kyosho pyjamas

Ok lets stop the gossip.

So far We have lost 3 drivers that we part supported last year!
It could well increase as its early days yet! The new season is half a year away!!

As Dave says we never had a massive team we support direct.
However it is silly season and we do hope to get some New drivers on board before the new season starts.

And pay no attention to Welshy he still goes to bed with his ZXR !!!
