Tamiya is a big company in the RC scene. i dont know of any company that has been around longer, that translates into $ for R&D for new cars.

Other companies i dont know much about, but i believe the USA based car brands are relativly new in comparison. It also seems that sedan racing is much bigger in Asia & europe than over here in NA, also translating into what? ba-ling.

Do racers in Europe & Asia run the TC4 or Losi?

Do racers in NA run the "imported" cars you listed?

its all about popularity and fan base. To me it just seems the scene is much more developed in europe & asia. of course i could be wrong. If im right, heres hoping it changes.
I RACE THE 415 AND SO DO OTHER 5 GUYS AT HOBBYCHAMMBER
AS A MATTER OF FACT I WILL GO FAR TO STAY THAT THE X-RAY HAS REPLACE THE TC3 AND TC4 FOR CARPET RACING
