As usual, we all get a little crazy when the new products are due to be released. Has anybody seen or heard the status of the little Summit's being trucked off to retailers??

Hi.I'm in the UK.I've checked the new distributors site,they don't even say they're getting any in:0. Looks like I'll be getting messed around by customs when I get mine ;) Uk customs are a nightmare,your stuff goes missing,they won't answer the phone or reply to emails:(

Picked mine up today at a LHS. Went in for a $5.00 part and walked out with one.

Must be nice swenny.
I want to come to one of your guy's sweet LHS's.
Unfortunately there just isn't a lot of anything out in farm town Gilbert, AZ
I cant remember the last time I was able to buy an actual part I needed, I'm getting used to the whole "no sorry we don't carry those".

swenny

11-04-2010, 05:51 AM

That was the problem, they did not even have the part. I have to go back to pick it up, hopefully they do not have anything else new then.

I don't care who you are - that's funny!

Last time I checked, my LHS had Rallys but not Summits. I don't even know if two of my LHS's will get either model. They tend to treat Traxxas with little respect while the third (with the Rallys) bases their existence around Traxxas.

Exactly! Tower seems to be the last to get any of these in stock. They're usually not nearly this slow to get stock on Traxxas items. It stinks that we're having to wait, but it's hard to pass up the discount from Tower.

I know what you mean 254.00 guess I just have to wait....didnt seem like it took that long for the rally after the ship date

Well i'm tracking him now, he's heading that way, about 300 miles out. He has church in the morning, so that will delay things. Hes a big boy too, so allow adequate time for food breaks.

Saw that this morning. What a joke. Tower needs to get their act together and get some in stock. There is a high demand for these and yet no one can get their hands on them. Traxxas is starting to sound like apple now. "Yea we got a new product, but you cant have itttt!" LOL :)

Dont blame Traxxas for Tower's short comings. The mini Summit is available. My LHS has them in stock LINK (http://www.ultimatehobbies.com/store/TRA7207!1008/1%2F16+SUMMIT+VXL+4WD+RTR+w%2F+2.4GHZ+RADIO)

Carnage334

11-09-2010, 09:27 AM

Not really blaming traxxas. More of a joke, the real problem here is amounts that companys buy. Tower, one of the biggest "re-sellers" of all companys products. Instead of ordering 400 units for the back order only to be filled. Order 1000 units to take care of new orders once they are "in stock". Just annoyed that I have tower certs I have been waiting to use and now no product. : P

babacksh

11-09-2010, 09:42 AM

Heck I wish they actually did order 400 for backorders! I have a back order from the first day it became avail on Tower and my order still shows in the system as "On Order". If other LHS have received them, Tower should have also. Very disappointed at Tower.

I know their price is lower with the discount, BUT it's not like they are delaying the shipment so they don't have to honor the coupons. Matter of fact they will loose clients this way by delaying the shipments.

Carnage334

11-09-2010, 09:48 AM

How will delaying the shipping make them not honor the copons? One comes out every month.

babacksh

11-09-2010, 11:00 AM

Sorry, Didn't come out right regarding the coupon comment. ;) I'm basically just not sure why they are delaying the shipment unless they REALLY have not received any units in.

I sure love my little Summit.... I too couldn't wait for Tower to start filling pre-orders so I went LHS for Blue #1 But my first born Summit is a little blue because his yellow brother and red sister have yet to be dropped off by the Traxxas stork in Champaign. Tower would love to have 'em guys, it's more than like a Traxxas glitch, not a Tower glitch with these little trucks.

Since I am in CA I won't be seeing mine till probably next week Monday or Tuesday anyways. :(

Oh well. There is always next weekend... Not like I don't have a family or work to worry about. ;)
I'm in socal too, and it takes 5 days to get here from Champaign. However, when they have them in their Reno warehouse, you'll get it the next day.

Since they show in stock now....... you can cancel your original pre order, buy one that's in stock now and upgrade to Priority Mail for $5 instead of waiting for UPS Ground. Just an idea

Thats actually what I did this morning before I logged into the Forum. They didn't have any in stock in the Reno warehouse but was in stock at Champaign. I upped to 2 day shipping and will have it on Friday. All is good and I get to enjoy driving it with my kids over the weekend.
