Perhaps, more likely the economy taking a dump


IDK, I sure wish there were more kits on the market though. I've heard folks say that it's cheaper for Arrma to make and sell rtr's than kits. I can't see how, more likely the electronics in the rtr's are padding the profits.
I just bought F/C/R diff kits for my 2007 Xray, NOS parts.. I'd rather dump money into the Xray than buy a new rtr. I'm actually amazed how many parts are still available for it. Likely because it went largely unchanged for years. Either way, it's a really nice bit of a kit IMO.
