Default TLT's undiscontinued!?

Rock Buster aren't anymore on discounted list on the Tamiya's site, also some parts are in "At this time, no further information is available about this product.
We are constantly updating product information, pricing, and details
so please check back later."!

If they do... it is very bad timing. Hmmmm lets see.... TLT or AX-10? They made the right move stopping production.

A choice of axles is always a good thing, and personally, I'll stay with my beefed up TLT axles over Axial's for now. I would go down right now and buy another TLT if they were in the store..

I think $70 TLT kits would still sell regardless of the release of the AX10. Sure maybe not in the same volume as before, but they would still sell.

We'll never see $70 TLT kits again. Double that and you're in the game...I'd love to see an updated version, but I'm not holding my breath. As long as there are parts to be had they will have a good following, it's been the "standard" 2.2 axle for a reason.

IF the kit is re-released then I would fully expect to see the $70 price to follow.

P.S. This is probably Chit Chat

Tamiya can't make money at $70 per kit. Ever wonder why only one shop was selling them for $70?

I saw that as well. Would be nice if Tamiya came out with a ARTR crawler like AX-10. It would probablly never happen, but it would be nice to have another manfacturer to add to the mix!
