There are usually plenty of parts on eBay and in RCC member's spare parts bins, so to speak, to keep you running. I don't think twice of it. I've been bashing on both of mine since I got 'em and they run perfect.

Well, if they are truly never going to be made again, its sad, but I'm sure something similar will be made in the future. and if not, then most of us will move on to building our own (some of us already do).


Stupid Wal-Mart. They should be monitoring ebay right now to see how a limited supply of these guys would be selling.

Damn, I was just wanting to get into crawling too.

Nitro revo crawler it is!

Do nitro tanks make good crawlers?

What about electric planes? I heard they crawl pretty good too.

never could afford crawling since i'm addicted to my nitro truggy racing,but i could afford to get into crawling with the nylint. funrise has a cult following,i wonder if they ever knew that? just got nb jeeb1:10...will keep running nylint untill i fear broken parts are really hard to find ,then shelf it for ever.well i'd have to run it once in awhile.

well I guess thats it then...makes me wish I would have held on to all my spare parts..The Nylints definitely accomplished one thing no other product in the history of r/c has had more debate centered around it. Thanks Funrise for bringing a lot of us into this great hobby...

I haven't given up hope yet. I don't see why they would recently add the Bronco to their site and now be done for good.

I have been talking to Nylint for the past month trying to get my son's crawler replaced. They told me to take it back and that they did not have anymore of these crawlers, and they would not be getting anymore.

They just refunded my money last night for the one that is bad, so I have a parts crawler.

Well Funrise has taken down the Nylint Rock Crawler link on their site......you can still see the page, until they take it down too.

http://www.funrise.com/detail.aspx?id=06202

Who knows when they'll take it down, soon, I'm sure.
