My guess is someone accidentally marked it as "Discontinued" rather than "Out of Stock".

Well that sucks as at least they were a fast source for parts, most times next day from my LHS.

That wasn't a good move imo on Axial's behalf, the 3 localish hobby shops carry all the axial stuff through Horizon so I guess they are going to drop it for awhile too until there is a Canadian dealer they can get it from  . It's a damn good thing I ordered my stuff a month ago. Anyways I'm sure in due time this will work itself out but there will be some lost sales do to this for sure.

Horizon has dropped the ball big time in the last little while. Even just with Losi, releasing the kits and then making parts unavailable for 6 months. Not very good service. I know my LHS has done some big orders from them and most times they are getting less than 30% of the orders because they just don't have enough stock. When one of the biggest suppliers can't supply the parts, they screwed up. I'm glad that Axial maybe realized this and pulled out before something even worse happens to Horizon. |

No big loss Horizon was never good to deal with from the LHS/dealer stand point unless you were selling their products or Losi. Great Planes beat them in every category hands down.

Perhaps it's a conflict of interest being that Horizon owns Losi.

Horizon used to sell AE stuff until they were bought by Great Planes recently. Can't see it being a conflict of interest issue.
