Gatekeeper GC-3 Chassis Availability

[Paul97]

I wand to buy a Duratrax Gatekeeper GC-3 chassis but every place I looked says they are out of stock. Does anyone know who has them still instock?

[jonrwall]

I ordered mine at RC planet about 3 days ago. Granted I will wait till the box comes but it was the only site that actually listed that it was in stock. good luck

They should be coming in very soon. I would place one on backorder through TCS or Tower Hobbies that way you are sure to get one when they come into stock.

I ordered mine from TCS when it was still in stock.
They got it shipped to me in no time flat, So Id highly recomend them.

Good luck--I ordered mine from rc planet on 1-25-10---website stated they were in stock, I called and they stated it was in stock. I ordered from them (even though it was more expensive than their competitors), glad to pay the extra money just to get it. I checked their tracking on my order...and it said it was in stock and shipped.

Guess what....I received my order....missing the chassis--they list it as backordered on the packing slip.

I never would have ordered it from them (and the misc small items i added to the order) if they had stated the truth about their availability.

If I knew I was going to have to wait, I would have ordered it from ckrc for a much lower price ( http://www.ckrccrawlers.com/shop/ind...oducts_id=2367 ) or tsc- who I've had excellent luck with.

I understand not having a product in stock, I don't understand LYING to me and taking my money, then telling me it is not in stock. RCPLANET will NEVER receive my business again.

Oh well, live and learn.

Brians Hobby Land has one in stock

I am truly getting frustrated by the lack of supply for certain MRC hop ups (specifically aftermarket chassis.) It is discouraging when several chassis manufacturers/vendors list these items, only to have them be out of stock. Additionally, I have emailed several of them to check on availability and to date have received 0 responses from 2 of them.

I think there should be a policy whereas if a product is not in stock after a given period of time, the ad for it should be removed from the vendors section of this website.

It finally ends up with you going to what is available, even if it is not your first choice. Pretty sad.

I agree with some of that, these need to be in stock

We have been dealing with the same issues with suppliers. When your dealing with an instant gratification hobby like this,and people are still spending alot of money in hard times! Nothings worse than spend your money,and have smoke blown up your @$$ about the status of your parts!!! It seems their is little to no customer service anymore,from alot of buisnesses!

That being said I would also like to know who has them INSTOCK,I need a new chassis and would like to see one first. I'll be hitting up RPP as I've ALLWAYS had good luck with them. If it's not instock they will tell you.

There is only 2 of them that I know about and 1 is at www.brianshobbyland.net and the other is at rchobbies in huntsville AL

This chassis kit will definatly be worth the wait guys.I hate waiting as much as the next guy when I finally get the money to buy parts,but I've learned the hard way it is better to wait for the best then to buy somthing else that's in stock and than replace it later with what I realy wanted to begin with.
Austin and Duratrax have produced in my opinon the best perfoming,most complete kit out and it will be back in stock soon.

They are already produced and should be in stock very soon. I recommend you put one on backorder at your LHS, TCS or Tower Hobbies.

There ya go boys,straight from the man that would know!

Got a call from them today. Caller informed me that they had delayed my shipment while they waited for the chassis from a supplier. Needless to say supplier did not have the chassis. Declined to back order.
