Yeah right...What relation ship does Larry, Jason, and Mike have with Losi? Are they 50% drivers? Does losi at least know who they are? Do they get discounts at least? Probably not...that sucks....Its these guys that have been running the car out of pure love for the car and the company, and they could easily be factory drivers for other companies and have all the support and be winning more often with more opportunities...isnt Losi afraid of loosing them too?
Losi has a small share of a small, dwindling market (on-road touring). I don't think it's personal, it's probably just a money thing. Keep in mind their parent company is probably calling the shots. That said, if they're not going to continue to try, neither am I. There are too many options out there to settle on one that seems like it's given up. And that's a shame, 'cause the R is a really cool car with a LOT of things to like about it.
