Tamiya
The TRF 416X and F104 with Ferari body and fibreglass chassis were the main attraction on Tamiya's booth.
Kyosho
Kyosho had the main focus on brushless conversions of 1/8 cars. The RT5 is a nice stadium truck. A conversion kit for the buggy will not be available.
Yokomo
Yokomo showed a Formula Nippon chassis. The body will be very detailed and made of plastic. It is expected for 2010, but not before April. The D-Max will be available in December and the price should be well below 50.000 Yen. The slipper clutch will stay in the drive train. The turning radius is very low for counter steer support.
