Seems we have shifted into the high speed, higher grip level track conditions. Not completely, but a lot more.
I will say that some of the platforms are faster on specific surfaces. When I still drove a Kyosho MP9, I really had a hard time on tight, high bite, smooth tracks keeping pace with say a Losi or Xray. But take us to an outdoor rough track? I could punish those cars. I now drive an HB car. For me it is very balanced. Pretty good anywhere I go. I still feel the car is better on outdoor conditions but still good on a grooved track.
I think the Mayako car is a great platform. If I were not driving an HB, I would very much consider driving the car.
I wish nothing but the best for David. IMO he is 1 of the top 3 drivers in the world right now. Very capable of winning with any car.
Have fun and enjoy racing.

They can all be honed to drive the way they need - it's just a matter of time, practice and learning how to get the best out of the gear they choose to run with.
The choice of cars we have in 2022 is amazing. None of them perform badly.
Any of 6 drivers could have won. Davide Ongaro's flame out cost him dear. And that's the thing with a 45 minute race - anything can happen. One stall, or a bad pit and you're race is compromised - even if you've driven fine and got the pace.
But none of this will matter when it comes to buying a buggy - people will run with whatever they think is winning the most races or fits best with their idea of what value/quality is.
Mayako winning the Euros is a major, major result for the image of the brand and will inevitably result in more sales.
How many Mayakos will there be at the next Euro's? Or the next World's? I'm taking a punt and saying double.

Doesn't this come with a pillowball front end option. Anyone got a picture of it ??

No real pillow ball system
it is a C-hub made to meet pillowball geometry and caracteristics

They aren't being offered any sooner than planned. Mayako isn't for everyone. That will never change. Why be like everyone else, offer discounts to everyone, and help ruin the industry. No thanks.

I saw one of these cars at the track the other day; certainly interesting. I love the design; as the owner put it "the more you look the more you'll see" - no joke. If I were not so heavily invested in my HB and all of the commensurate gear I'd certainly give this brand a try. One popped up on the for sale section the other day and sold in minutes...
