Kyosho have never ruled, Losi maybe, Schumacher once definitely and Associated on a number of occasions but Kyosho I don't think so
Almost right. Peter got it spot on when in 1987 the Ultima won the worlds. Kyosho also won the nationals in the hands of Jamie Booth and Ellis Stafford quite litterally obliterated everyone at the euros. They also have made more worlds a finals than tamiya in 1/10th off road. Also worth mentioning Kyosho they have won worlds at touring nitro and a shed load of 1/8th off road titles as well.
Also worth mentioning that Gil Losi dominated with Kyosho in an event equivalent to the worlds in 1982 with Kyosho Scorpion in the stock and modified classes. He won them both.
Also I only see Tamiya winning touring cars worlds, none in Off Road so Tamiya are not so good in Off Road, sorry but the facts are there. Check out this link and it states the manufacturer. Tamiya have taken years to get their cars right and now the build quality is spot on, but the old cars were so brittle you could break the chassi just by over tightening the screws, no wonder they were no good.
