I really hope they do come out within that time frame for real. My trigger finger is really itching to buy one. Already have and esc, servo and wheels and the vanquish top shaft are on the way.

I looked again yesterday, didnt see one. But I did see an exo terra buggy

I think I'm still going to stop by and check out their selection. I love stopping by hobby shops while I'm out of town. It's not really out of the way for me so it's a nice stop in a long drive from buffalo, ny to allendale nj.

Not sure if these have been posted yet, saw these on a Facebook group. According to axial it's not about stolen molds or anything other than them moving.

Well see that irks me even more. They know there are countless rumors being thrown around and they're too busy laughing about it rather than coming forward with the info. Shady in my book.

Oh ? Why. I can get product here, not as much as I'd like, but I've seen numbers coming back, slowly , I guess social media is the official news release source...... WHAT.... newspapers and tv ?

Well they have an RCC account for one. They haven't said anything on FB except about Axialfest. A simple post here or there would have saved them from receiving and answering tons of questions. Lack of clarification when there's a known issue/question.

I'm just kidding man, Hobbico has owned axial for a few years now. A quick Google search will pull up the details.

Dude, if you're being serious, all you have to do is go to axial's website and it says this at the very bottom:

"26022 Pala, Mission Viejo, CA 92691
©2017 Axial R/C, Inc. A subsidiary of Hobbico, Inc. All Rights Reserved."

[Frank211]

Agreed. And a screenshot of someones fb message doesn't quite inspire confidence either.

Don't waste your gas. The place is horribly dusty and all the RC part are in the back and can not be viewed. Unless you know what you want you are out of luck, there is no browsing inventory for ods and ends.

Unless you like trains, then the place is packed.

Yeah, its lame but when has any company in any industry ever provided actual information on a negative event? This is just the standard corporate "we don't comment on rumors" response in different words.

But if it's just moving facilities due to circumstances out of their control (warehouse going belly up) then say just that. Say that we (customers) might notice a slight delay in some parts/kits but rest assured that Axial, as a company, is fine and that production will be back online shortly. That would have made quick work on any rumors they might or might not comment on. I wasn't expecting a personal phone call or email. Just a FB post or something in oh I don't know, this section of RCC that you KNOW they are reading.

Trains and Lanes is a joke! They have some awesome tracks, but the guys that work their are odd, social retards that will act like you are bothering them if you need help. Another example of why I avoid LHS like the plague.

Dam straight. I'm not going to order something from them when I can get it from rpphobbies all the way out in .CA in 3 days.

They treat any customer that doesnt run buggies like some type of bother.
