That seems to be the case with a lot of RC vehicles and parts. I've had to wait for nearly two months for an item I wanted.

Meanwhile Arrmas are on sale every other week it seems🤣🤣
Last week, v5 kraton rtr at amazon for $490..talion exb down to $699(from $750)..
I wish TC would make a sct personally.
My xtr is down atm..stripped the gears out of the servo and my diff outdrives are taking quite a beating since I started running 6s..kinda wish I stuck to 4s. I was happy with 4s until I tried 6s, and now I don't wanna go back but the wear and tear of 6s is disappointing.. goes with the territory I suppose.
 
Welcome to after Corona troubles and war in the Ukrain. Sucks indeed. I even have troubles to get stuff for my espressobar. Really weird.

Global supply shortage..or plandemic? IDK, but I really don't see a legit reason for shortages, soo..wtf!!

Much of Chinese manufacturing is shot down for COVID, and container ships are backed up at ports and are waiting to be unloaded. And transportation for the ports to warehouses is also affected. These are all legitimate reasons for the supply shortage.
 
For the RC world and everyrhing else. Hope local people gonna make custom stuff for Corally. So we are less dependent from China.

That's nuts lol. Literally only thing you can find here is old stock. No 2022 rigs at all anywhere in the states, they've not been in stock since the first 2 weeks from release.

Yeah, it's total bs..I'm not into politics, and won't engage in any debates as such..but when the orange guy was there,we didn't have any of the crap we're dealing with now?
 
It's a domino effect. The pandemic slowed down the mining of the raw materials, factories aren't running at the same capacity they were before, more and more people are leaving their jobs at these factories, shipping companies also are short of help, stuff is just sitting at ports waiting to either be loaded or unloaded, trucking companies are short of help, the warehouses that store products are short of help and the stores that stock the products are short of help.

I went to the local Walmart for the first time since I can't even remember the other and I was just dumbfounded by how empty the grocery section was, the other 2 grocery stores I shop at instead are always much better stocked than that Walmart was.

I get it..but the real question is where did these people go that were doing the work? I mean how can they afford not to work? Likely because the working class is carrying them on our backs while the gov sends them checks written on our dime. Or, they just simply aren't paying for anything..thank god I'm not a landlord during this plandemic!
It's not that clear cut I understand, but as Elon Musk said "If we don't go to work and make stuff, there is no stuff"..
 
I spoke with a guy at RC Hobby Explosion the other day about the new aluminum center diff support, and he told me there is generally a four month wait between the time Corally releases new parts and vehicles in Europe until they are available for sale in the US. The diff support was released in February of this year, so it might be available in the US in June or July.
 
I know I started this rant, but honestly it's a first world problem. I have a workshop full of fun toys. I could be one of those unfortunate people living in Ukraine watching my livelihood be torn apart. Or be living in China with extremely harsh zero tolerance policies.

Guess I'll charge up batts and use what I have for now and be happy.
