- Tamiya is big with Marc Rheinard and 2012 IFMAR Worlds Champ, Jilles Groskamp.
- Serpent has made a big impression with the Eryx v2.0 and Marc Fischer behind the wheel.
- Awesomatix is "the new kid on the block" and has just started to spread its wings.
Xray have had good numbers at European events for quite some time.
In the UK it's Xray and Schumacher by quite some margin.
Hot Bodies are dying a death, ARC and Awesomatix are on the rise.
Associated are dead in the UK. Their heyday was the TC3 era.
Serpent had a small following with the 411, but their parts supply was horrendous, so almost everyone dropped them.
Tamiya have never been that big, but they seem to have dedicated drivers.
Yokomo have never been big either, but their success on carpet has helped a few drivers gravitate towards them (and if I'm honest they always look fantastic on carpet), but those same drivers struggle with them on our asphalt tracks.
