Is it just me, or is axial overpriced?

So many people seem to have "inside stories". Whatever the reason, I don't think it was a planned delay. Again, companies try to plan for the worst and stock up to avoid running out of inventory.

Yeah I doubt this was a planned deal. Many of you have been in the hobby long enough to know Chinese New Year happens EVERY year and some stuff can get delayed. Axial knows Chinese New Year happens every year I'll promise you that.

No inside story here. I emailed them and I copied and pasted from their email. Just thought I would share.

Axial may be designed here, but I know that they are made and assembled over seas. Korea or China. Cant remember which one.i know redcat everest interchanges with Axial on alot of parts. Center transmission, rear lockouts, etc. I have a Redcat Everest I am running Hot Racing hardened aluminum gears and outdrives made for the SCX10.

This is my Redcat Everest RockRacer. It has a Hobbywing 80A Brushless Waterproof Esc, 3650 5900kv motor, RC4WD SuperSwamper Boggers XL's. Shorter Shocks. Aluminum Redcat C Hubs, custom made aluminum skid plate and steering knuckles made by Aaron at R.C. Evolution in Fresno, CA. If your ever in the area visit him. He made these parts at no cost to me, so I give him free advertisement for his parts.

I wasn't questioning the truth of your story. You got your info from the horse's mouth. Others got the inside scoop from varying sources and that's why there are so many different stories on this thread. And I just don't know how many different stories Axial is telling. I should email them to see if I get the same story.

Ctrain57, why even post that? Has zero to do with anything.

I think he provided the reason right in his post when he said "so I give him free advertisement for his parts". All he was missing was a phone number and email address/PayPal address. And that sum' bitch doesn't have a star.

[Ctrain57]

Shit. I appologize. I posted that one post in the wrong section. That was supposed to go to a redcat thread. Dont be idiots about it though. Geez. Too many hateful people for the smallest reasons. Who cares about the free advertisement. The guy who made stuff for me runs a privatly owned R.C. shop. Not a big cooperation. Support the little guy right? As much as possible. I would definetely support you guys out there and your local shops. Your really going to give me that much crap for so little. Lol.

Eepee. Thanks for the suttle comment. Your right. Didnt have anything to do with this section. Makya. I enjoy your sarcasm. Jato. WTF. Last part of your comment wasnt needed. No need for name calling and my mom isnt a bitch. We all make mistakes dont we.. So back to Axial... Jato. You are right. Axial has out done theirselves on thier prices compared to whats out there and readily coming out in the R.C. rock scene. Do u guys know which country makes their parts. Thought they might be Korea. If so. The chinese New Years wouldnt effect them. Right???

Taiwan, a non-communist country with generally better quality control and a more democratic government. IIRC Traxxas ans Axial used to be made there.
