A Main Hobbies appointed the exclusive North American Retailer for Yokomo

 

A Main Hobbies has just announced that they will be the exclusive retailer of Yokomo products in North America. Yokomo has been a race winning company for years upon years in both the onroad and offroad scene, BUT primarily in Europe. The announcement comes as a welcome surprise to diehard Yokomo fans who are used to ordering kits and parts overseas. The Yokomo lineup of vehicles is a wide range including 1:10 2wd and 4wd offroad buggies, all the way to 1:10 and 1:12 onroad cars.

 

With Yokomo returning to North America, will we see a Yokomo USA team once again? Possibly in time for the 2013 IFMAR 1:10 Offroad Worlds which will be hosted at A Main Hobbies very own Silver Dollar Raceway in Chico, California?

 

  

A Main Hobbies announces that it will now be the Exclusive Retailer of Yokomo products. A Main Hobbies will carry Yokomo'€™s line of off-road and on-road race vehicles, as well as the parts and products to support both racing lines. €œYokomo has always been a top-shelf brand that racers have gravitated towards.

"We'€™re excited to carry Yokomo and to support racers who want their product."€ - A Main Hobbies CEO Kendall Bennett.
