Notorious Help, It looks like HR has stopped Production, are they out of business?

Hey,

I just wanted to get a aluminum bulkhead for my Noto. But, my handler had it listed as unavailable. I went to the HR web site just to find that almost all Arrma parts aren't listed any more!!!

Is there any other good alternative For aluminum bulkheads? I have a lot of GPM parts that I bought before I knew any better. So, I don't want to get the GPM one.

Their website has been having issues lately, I made a post about this the other day https://www.arrmaforum.com/threads/i-think-someone-broke-hot-racing.18765/

But I found 18 listings on eBay for them https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=AON12E01&_sacat=0&_sop=15

This is a good deal for both front and rear if you want or need both

Right now the hardest part is going to be sourcing the part numbers for things, but once you have the part numbers they should be easy to find.

I think it may be more than that. My handler wouldn't list almost all of their HR parts as unavailable if that was all it was. But, I hope your right. ???

That is weird for sure.
The GPM bulkhead should be okay as long as they are made and fit right. I wonder if Integy makes bulkheads yet?

Not for the Kraton at least.... I have almost my whole rig with their stuff and love the look. Aside from some minor issues (tolerance, screw lengths...) they don't complete the vehicle set... or at least not yet... For example you can get rear turnbuckle but not the front... they don't have the T2T brace bracket's or T2T brace. I hope GPM bulkheads will be ok as my Blue rig will be a street runner and no harsh abuse.

It looks like you can still get the HR parts in ebay for now. But that may be the last we see. Hope not.

I really like their hubs for the 6S Arrma trucks. I find it to be their best product. As for the rest (braces, suspension mounts, servo mounts, motor mounts) I feel there are much better options. But their hubs/steering knuckles are tits.

Hobby Etc is the distributor for HR. Are you saying they are the parent company? I know HR is based in CA.

See bottom of screen shot. If they aren't parent, they still control all sales and distribution.
