funny just looked at a sept 2008 rc magazine that did a article on the new recoil pro.
why come out with a new car if you plan to discontinue production?
go figure.:confused:

Heres a news flash, those books are edited months in advance. Not to mention if you see something new in one look 6 months ahead before you can see it on store shelves.

Anybody that's relying on getting up-to-date or current info or product reviews from any of the mags, especially rc car action, is going to be a least 6 months behind the rest of the planet.

I remember a recent "World Exclusive" -- and I already had the car, raced it a few weeks, and that was after the local hobby shop had finally received their stock off backorder from the distributor. :tongue:

Sucks though, that's a big class around here. Hope someone else comes out with something like it. Even a pan that size would be fun.

BRPs ARE 1/18TH PAN CARS AND THEY'RE THE MOST FUN YOU'LL EVER HAVE RACING.:woohoo:
ALSO DURATRAX HAS THE VENDETTA TOURING CAR NOW.:)

I'm sure they will still be selling them. Even if they have to send someone to the USA to setup shop :(

I was at the I-hobby expo in Chicago and asked the Horizon guys about the sportworks line specifically the Recoil and was told that they are being discontinued but Horizon will provide parts support for like 2 years.

Is that the parts, some of the parts, or nothing but all the parts so help them God?

That kind of statement would give me the shivers. :cool:

The way I understood them it is all the parts but they were kind of vague in their answer.

To be honest I didn't push for more information as I was trying to decide on what classes to run this upcoming season and after hearing that I made my decision that Recoil will not be one of the classes I will run this season.

Later,

I have a recoil for sale if anyone is interested.
