From an engineering point of view, the E4 design is definetly the future. Unfortunately, Team Magic distribution and support is way lacking for a global manufacturer in today's economy. No matter how great the product is. It takes millions to develop a product, package and distribute it. TM falls short on the distribution and may be loosing the US market.

1. How long will TM play around before they get the global distribution channel in place?
2. Is Wolf Hobbies the official TM importer, US distributer on record? Or just another importer until inventories run out and TM looks for another company with a promising plan and sales agenda to capture the US market.
3. If so, the TM website needs to reflect this. XRAY has RCAmerica. Losi has Horizon Hobbies. These are all long term and reliable relationships.

Now Wolf Hobbies is now on the scene. Therefore, I will patiently wait to see how this pans out.

1. Is there going to be a nationwide sales promotion?
2. Are team driver being signed to promote the brand?
3. What is the long term financial commitment to get the E4 out of the starting gate.

Team Magic needs to take some pages from the XRAY/Hudy and Much More play books.
