When I came back into RC racing I asked about getting a B Max 4 just when the version 2's came out, I was told by several model shops that CML weren't interested in supporting Yokomo as the exchange rate made the cars to expensive, if I really wanted a Yoke I would have to get one from Asia along with spares. To me MB Models should take a large amount of the credit for the resurgence in Yokomo in the UK as well as MiboSport etc as they were the only ones that started to re-stock them, it looks like CML have just jumped back on the bandwagon. If more support for Yokomo in this country ends up with them being a lot more popular then so be it but the credit should be acknowledged as to actually helped the brand back into Europe and the UK.
Congrats to Lee Martin though, a good move and good to see a top driver help smaller/resurgent companies get supported and promoted again around the world.
