|  Futaba And Tower
Called Tower Hobbies today in regards to a Futaba item. I was told by the customer service person, " not sure when or even if we will be getting any Futaba". After hanging up I see Spektrum is now carried by Tower. May be a pain until a new distributor takes over if Tower / Horizon bails on Futaba. I hope not. Anyone else hear anything?

Looked at the video, looks like the Futaba - Tower/Horizon is over. Would explain the Tower sales persons remark. Thanks! I am going to add that I had a set of BSR carpet oval tires that I paid for under the Old Tower and never came in off BO. Asked also about those, Tower/Horizon issued me a credit today. I wonder if they are not going to carry that brand also? Last edited by sherbs; 05-14-2018 at 08:09 PM. |

Anyone hear any update regarding Futaba reorganization? I've tried to purchase a simple 3 channel receiver and there are none in stock anywhere in the USA. I've noticed a few of their controllers are on back-order on various websites as well. Even Tower emailed me saying "The manufacturer has not provided Tower Hobbies with an estimated arrival date" when i inquired about their 3 channel receiver. Was hoping someone in-the-know might have some more info. |

Futaba Service Center is now open. They are probably going to customer direct like what Traxxas has started to do but no date yet. This is from an email conversation with a Futaba service person.
