Just hit DDM for a couple more of these. John Botajell tells us in his newest video that these might be getting discontinued. He also touches on the point that alot of the rad things we need to run gas and nitro are being discontinued.
I believe him and feel this is quite alarming, I really do feel that the majority of our hobby suppliers want all of us to quit fuel and run electric cars. Now, I realize that this is a Large scale forum not exclusive to gas and that there are large electric models out there and I don't want to rain on that.
I recently ran a nitro car along with an electric 1/5 scale buggy that showed up at one of my spots and had a good jam.
Maybe certain supplies are going away because we need more of a market. I know this is kind of an exclusive niche and making parts costs alot.
I'm going to try to support as much as possible and constantly have poop arriving from DDM and A Main for nitro stuff. I feel that's all we can do really is support the market.
I think it's important to show people the hobby and let them see our cars run. This is how others join! My goal this weekend is to get at least one curious on looker by running at a park and tell them how to get started. I have to say that people seem skeptical to run nitro or gas for whatever reason and my goal is to try to break that barrier down. I think this goes beyond cost and learning curve and all that. People have some money and can learn anything now. What the hell makes everyone so nervous around motors?
