Sheesh, he can't wait 2 days. We saw the OP's first inquiry on Monday, sent out an inquiry, and he's PO'd it took this long to get our reply. We finally got an answer. All of the manufacturers are phasing-out NiCd packs. They're illegal to sell in Europe, now, with a few exceptions (medical devices and such). Part of ROHS compliance.
thx for stepping in there Bill.....yes i can be a little impatient, but it really gets old to have to suddenly start shopping elswhere for an item you rely on to be there. one would think as a retailer, that this info would have already been available to Hobbico/Tower before posting a "discontinued" notice.
same goes for servo gears, are they outlawed too?
maybe a quick note in ones post that you will check into it and then get back to them would help.
not special treatment, just a courtesy.
i do also realize that you and Krysta come here and answer inquiries on your own time, but sometimes i see posts unanswered, so who knows.
