It is largely SMD that gave team C credibility and worth at the UK circuits. Take that away, and a large part of the Team C goodwill that was built up goes away.
I think team C think that they can undercut and make more profit by controlling distribution. A rather short term solution.
I think a problem is that Team C kits are often bought at model shops in Hong Kong for about half the price that you can get them from the UK. Sad fact of mail order - that's why I only buy from UK shops now.
Both shops, and now distributors are being hammered by drivers wanting to import everything at a cheaper price...
