I'm getting back into the racing scene along with my son and daughter. We are looking to get pretty serious in the 1/10 2wd buggy class. I just bought my son an Ultima RB7ss and my daughter a Losi 22 5.0DC. I loved racing Stadium trucks, but it seems like that class is dying out here in Northern California. Now I'm looking for a buggy for myself. Can someone tell me what the benefits are for racing for a particular Factory Team? I see Kyosho is losing drivers like crazy. I hear it is due to poor support from the factory. Which is bad because with all the competition they have, they need a team to prove their product is competitive. Any advice would be highly appreciated on what the Factory Teams have to offer. I might get an Associated just to compare the three. Then again, X-ray, Yokomo, Schumacher, and Serpent seem to have some pretty solid cars. I know you need to prove yourself before any company will look at you, so I'm not expecting to sign with anyone right now. I had sponsors when I was racing, way back in the early 90's, so I know what it takes to get attention from the factories. Yes, youngster... they had professional races back in the 90's. It just took us longer to get there with our horse and carriage. In fact, racing was a lot bigger, in my area, back in the 90's.
