Default Is the RCBros axle locker a goner for good?

I guess my title kindof says it but is RCBros bringing back the axle lockers or are they goners? Thanks.

Once hot racing began making our version of the MRC locker our sales dropped, I lowered the prices to match them but the profit was incredibly low.

With how slow they sold we simply decided to not do another batch. Our quality of material is/was much higher but the majority didn't seem to care.

There are those of us that still care. That HR locker is crap and wallows out VERY quickly.

I am with Jeremy. I was very underwhelmed with the quality of HR stuff. If you decided to make them again you would have a buyer for 2 out of me.

If I was a machinest this is what I I would come up with. A locker with set screws to lock the axles in. I think someone makes a similar one for the AX10. Anyway, I am runnig the steel ones now but I do get a good bit of slop out of it.

Here is a quick thought. I wonder if it would make since to make lockers in pairs. The rear one would be made with a pinion to go with the stock ring but would be a 12t underdrive to match the traxxas front overdrive. I tried and tried to make Rockhards system work but just could not get it. This would I think create huge demand for this locker and system.

Those who have any pull with RC bros maybe this would be a decent idea.
