Default 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

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.

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

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.

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"

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

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?

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.

Understood.

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

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

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.
