Axial availability
 

Anyone know what is up with Axial? None of their vehicles are available and don't look to be for a while, I heard they were moving or something? Just a bummer you can't buy any of their trucks unless you look on ebay maybe. Strange

Re: Axial availability
 

You must be new here. A search would have told you this has been an issue for a while. Axial claims they are changing manufacturing facilities, but they aren't saying why.

Re: Axial availability
 

Axials bankrupt

Hobbico can't pay their employees

Fires at the warehouse in China

China rebellion

Vaterra bought out Axial

Donald Trump banned remote control parts importation

Slowboat from China suffered same fate as Malaysia airlines

Re: Axial availability
 

You forgot that United Airlines kicked all their new stock off the planes before it left China.

Re: Axial availability
 

I never knew that Axial went bankrupt because Trump led a Vaterra rebellion and caused a fire at a Hobbico employee's house in China.

Thanks for clearing that up.

Re: Axial availability
 

My "fake news" came directly from Axial. I emailed them and they responded.

This is the email copied to here:

"Greetings, Axial is not going out of business. We are in the process of
changing to new factories for production of some of our products, which has
caused some delays. Axial has many new products coming out this year and are
preparing for the biggest Axial Fest ever!

Best regards,
Mark F.
Product Support"

Re: Axial availability
 

Sound like Mark F. just confirmed all of my allegations but still plans on a kick arse Axial Fest!

Re: Axial availability
 

Maybe I shouldn't build my SCX10 II kit and put it up for auction :ror:

Re: Axial availability
 

That's the best joke we've heard all year.

Re: Axial availability
 

After a decade or so, Axial Racing is officially part of RCC? :shock:

Re: Axial availability
 

Axial has been here the entire time. Where have you been?

Re: Axial availability
 

And I got they're 8th post! Did I win a new SCX10II kit? I'm sure it'll deliver when those new factories are built after the Chinese rebellion and import ban is lifted? "thumbsup"

Re: Axial availability
 

Lets clear the air as to where Axial products are produced... Not China. That's been tossed around from time to time but it's simply not true.

Re: Axial availability
 

Understood.

Mexico? Are we facing problems with Trump's new wall down south? Are the smuggler tunnels collapsing?

Re: Axial availability
 

Do I sense 'tude? :lmao:

I've only been here since 2008...

Would made in Asia be an accurate statement?

Re: Axial availability
 

My best guess is Taiwan, as they made some sort of deal with Thunder Tiger for distribution in Asia recently.

Re: Axial availability
 

Good find.

Re: Axial availability
 

Do you have any estimate as to when kits like the scx10 ii will be available again? I'm close to spending money on a kit from another manufacturer.
