Generally this thread has been how selling RC tanks stuff is not very rewarding financially. That is the trouble with any "cottage" industry. They are not sustainble past the interests of the main principle. IF somehting happens to him physically or he just decides to call it quits the service is done.

Unfortunatley other tthen Tamiya, and maybe Taigen, our whole hobby is made up of guys with a passion. Maybe they all fall into fall into this category. Rumor is the only reason Tamiya does 1/16 scale tanks is because MR Tamiya loves them. When he is gone the 1/16 tank releases might be gone too.
