Price Increase on Tower

[skellyo]

Just thought it was worth mentioning...

For those that complained about the E-Revo being $450, it's now $490 on Tower. Glad I got my pre-order in when it was $450.

OUCH! I'm sure the price will drop once they receive it or they will offer some coupon code 40-50 off...

[aggie rustler]

Wow, me too!

go to hobby people they still have it for $439

[outkast187]

They raised the slash by $10 also. They must be coming out with new coupons......

[skellyo]

New coupons usually aren't available until the 1st of each month. Last month's coupon codes were much better than this month's codes. I saved $30 on a Slash Pre-order and $40 on an E-Revo Pre-Order last month.

Yoink! Glad I got mine in early.

um i am pretty sure whatever the price is displayed at when the truck is available will be the price thos eof us who preordered will have to pay.

Actually, you pay the price the item was at when you pre-ordered it. If it was pre-ordered at $449, that's what you pay, not $489.

I was told by tower unless there is a very large increase the price will be the same that you preorder for

And now, what is a ''very large increase'' for them? 10$, 15$, 50$ ?!
it's sad but i think we will have to pay 290$ like everybody else my
friend :(

I just got off the phone with Tower about a related issue...I specified a channel and while the E-Revo shows "Mid-June" when you look at your backorders, mine shows "Order Pending". They explained that because I specified a channel, they don't know when I would get mine. I don't know if I made a wise decision or not...what color/channel, if any, did you guys choose?

More importantly, I noticed the price change, and she confirmed that I would only pay the amount that I pre-ordered at, not the current price.

[mbeatle]

I picked the first available frequency. I wanted black, but more importantly, I wanted it fast. :)

[69Malibu]

i dont care what color mine is. i indicated no preference.

[aggie rustler]

I pre-ordered the A4, I think it is the black one.

Good info Sneaky, thx.

[JAKETHESNAKE28]

Dang, I wish it was still at $450. That was a price that my parents and I could work out. But $500 and not even brushless, I think I'm out. It is just to much money to work it. Unless I win the lottery or I get a great paying summer job I think I will be staying with my rustler.

[brushlessman]

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :D for those who did not pre-order i hope i get mine sooner than mid june, i want to take it to the beach with me for a video!

[Self Medicated]

It'll go back down, watch and see. Besides, Tower is just one site. There's alot of other fish in the sea.

[JAKETHESNAKE28]

That is true. I will be waiting until the middle of summer before I make my final choice though.

[Self Medicated]

Hobby people still has them for under $425 shipped!

[JAKETHESNAKE28]

I hope that it says like that, or maybe a little lower.

[Self Medicated]

$425 I would do, at the very most. Otherwise, i'll have to go with an E-Maxx.

[skellyo]

It has dropped to $454.99 on Tower now.

[VXL Beast]

Yah, maybe if it drops to 400$ I will buy it, otherwise I will just supe up my rusty. 450$ for a brushed MT, who do you think we are traxxas? (but dang, that thing is cool)

[JAKETHESNAKE28]

I don't have to be the first buyer. I will wait a month or 2 and wait for the price to settle. Then I should be able to buy it.

[aggie rustler]

FYI...it is back down to $454.99 on tower!

[durkadurka]

I ordered mine last month from Hobby People with a coupon. Ended up being like 413 I think.

[vxlrocket]

i think charging 100 dollars more than the e-maxx is wayyyyy too much. if it had twin v's, i buy it in a minute but 450 for titans???

How many are going to wanna put in another 250-400 worth of electronics whether it's a MMM with an xl or neu or a twin v?....man...that's like an 800 truck.

I figure selling off the EVX and Titans on eBay should just about cover the cost of a MMM (paid $150 for the MMM shipped). The TQ radio will be ditched for a Spektrum micro Rx and I'll run the stock servos. So, I figure by the time I buy a motor (likely a Neu 1515/1Y), I'll have about $750 into it not counting my batteries.

[mkrusedc]

By the time I finished my E-Maxx I was way over a $1,000 so $800 for a Revo is a much better deal. Actualy since I already have the elctronic from the Maxx I am closer to $600. So a Revo (much better truck) for about half the cost of my E-Maxx? I am good to go!
