Gmade Going Under??

[supermoturd]

It seems like gmade parts are hard to find. Has it always been this way or is the company in trouble? Or is it just the effect of American economic decline on business's abilities to carry larger inventories? I find myself drooling over all the stuff on gmade.net with no way of purchasing any of it.

I bought alot parts from here. Got them in tinely manner.

RC Run – Your Premium RC hobby retailer.

Yes they just released the awesome Sawback and are now going under...

I've brought stuff from them directly with no problems. Shipping to Canada was about 1.5 weeks. RC run was good too for parts with good customer service. Check out Amainhobbies, they have a good inventory of R1 stuff as well.

 

[supermoturd]

rc run is pretty good. But the dig kit is nowhere to be found (thanks for the hook-up, though, cytogen!) And I'd like to score some aluminum beadlock rings for the GTs but can't find them anywhere.

Try the Junfac store They are on ebay, or have their own online store. I have prdered from them, but being in the UK it takes pretty much 2 weeks 2 arrive.. I thinks some of that is due to UK customs though, the stuff cn be held by them for almost a week.

Is the dig kit discontinued?

 

[jeepgeek2002]

the china customs held my links for 3 weeks!

I would venture a guess that Gmade are doing better than ever before at the moment with the scale explosion that's going on now. Indeed their stuff seems easiest to find on ebay.

Gmade definitely makes some super trick looking designs before Axial got into more scale. Downside is shipping takes a while and aftermarket support isn't as large being that Axial is boss hog lol.

If they beefed up the R1 tranny gears along with the portal gears we'd be set!

 

[neobaja]

never had a problem with getting parts through Junfac or direct from Gmade, post was ok to Australia.

 

[supermoturd]

I have yet to find the dig kit.

junfac seems to be the manufacturing side and gmade the retail side
though junfac also sells.
they seem to be into many things and only have few people to support the rc part of it
and they don't seem to be too ramped up into the competition aspect.

that is a nifty dig unit they came up with for the r1 though and if I had plenty of money there would br
an r1 with the dual dig in my rc garage.

I think the parts shortage is being caused by the Chinese New Year. Happens every year about this time and should start to come back to normal in March.

 

[Coda]

The parts are all over eBay. One of the sellers on there has a website as well and has lots of gmade stuff in stock. I've had good experiences with them so far, but shipping seemed a bit steep.

 

[supermoturd]

Still can't find the dig kit!

 

[Steve Hipsley]

I heard that they are upgrading the dig kit, FYI. I'm looking for one too.

 

[supermoturd]

I heard that they have also upgraded the axle-mount battery plate/kit. They may be overhauling their line of hop-up parts. I know the dig kit was in bad need of an upgrade. Hopefully, now that Chinese New Year is over, we'll start seeing inventories build back up. Don't know about you guys, but it seems like all the vendors are out of everything! And not just GMade/JunFac parts either.

Gmade seems to be focused on the Sawback release and getting the options parts available for it.

RPP Hobby has Gmade stuff in stock. I've been ordering from them and they are quick to get stuff out. Highly recommend.
