Hi, all.
I've placed a backorder for a Losi 8IGHT RTR buggy via Tower Hobbies. Had to settle for a backorder since I couldn't find one online anywhere - I looked at Tower/Horizon, Nitro Hobbies, Amain, Hobbytown, and even Amazon and eBay. (There are some listings on eBay, but I'm not interested in paying *those* prices. LOL) I know there's been a general drop in availability with the likes of Tamiya and Kyosho, due to shipping/production delays, etc. but I guess I just assumed that a US-based manufacturer might not have some of those same issues (though everything's connected, I suppose).
I wrote to Losi to see if they might have any sort of product availability info or timeline they'd be willing to share, but it's been crickets. Which isn't terribly surprising. But does anyone know anything about this dearth of 8IGHT RTRs? Is a newer version pending or something like that?
Thanks in advance!
