That worlds is a joke. the only team thats going there is Yokomo and Kyosho (Shin A)
My money is that a B4 under Yokomo flag will take 2wd and the B-max the 4wd

[Alan]

Yeah becuase it is in South Africa not many people are going at all :(

Any idea of the date for next year?

And how did this location get picked? It should be the UK or the USA :D

It's quite simple - there are 4 federations affiliated to Ifmar - Efra (Europe) Roar (US & Canada) FEMCA (Far East & Australasia) and FAMAR ( South Africa and South America) and the Worlds rotates between the Federations. As I guess 1/10th Off Road is only popular in one FAMAR country (you guessed it South Africa) the choice is automatic. That's how South Africa has had 2 worlds in 10 years.

Next opportunity for the UK is 2019 and US is 2013.
