RE: Why is Tower triming down its selection
I can empathise with your yearning. Won't hold back the tide though - any more than mine.
While I enjoy ARFs myself, by the same token they are having the same impact here. There are aspects of the ARF R/C 'culture', particularly surrounding the 'electric toy' phenomenon with all the retail and distributor current push sell hype surrounding it because it's easily promoted to an easily exploited demographic into a market willing to accept being gauged with monster margins for a bit of foam and plastic in a cleverly decorated box specifically intended to create the necessary impulsive McFlyer excitement.
