I'm buying supplies and finding out that they are "Out Of Stock" on all LOC and AT kits? Are they not carrying them anymore??
FWIW, I haven't heard anything from Hobbylinc after I pinged them on 4/2, and they are still out-of-stock on virtually all AT stuff, so I can only assume that they have dropped Aerotech.I've sent an email inquiry to Hobbylinc and will report back if I hear anything.
I put in an order for a number of an AT motor "on clearance" they claimed was in stock and included some other stuff to justify the postage. They emailed a notification that they only had ONE of the "on clearance" motors in stock and didn't expect more until months later. I cancelled the entire order. Now, their web page claims they don't know when they'll arrive. My question is, if the items are "on clearance", why are they ordering more of them? Are they just trying to attract orders with on-sale motors they'll never get or get in a timely manner counting on people to do what I did and order other stuff that is in stock to fill out the order?I'm buying supplies and finding out that they are "Out Of Stock" on all LOC and AT kits?

The "clearance" pricing appears to be automated and random, with no regard to whether they actually have the item in stock.My question is, if the items are "on clearance", why are they ordering more of them?... Maybe stocking issues from AT are a problem and they just decided to stop carrying them?
Could it be a matter of AT giving stocking precedence to retailers who don't deep discount their motors?The "clearance" pricing appears to be automated and random, with no regard to whether they actually have the item in stock.
For quite a while I assumed that AT had a massive backlog, but there's been essentially no stock of any AT at Hobbylinc for months. I've had no particular trouble getting AT hobbyline items elsewhere, so I don't think that explains it.
Maybe, but I expect that AT sees the same money regardless of how much the retailer sells the product for. Hobbylinc did this for years and AT seemed OK with it.Could it be a matter of AT giving stocking precedence to retailers who don't deep discount their motors?
Not sure what you mean by this. They sell Hitec servos, for example, and seem to have a fair number in stock.they don't sell "hobby" R/C
^^-- If I search for that, I can find it, and more, but not through the front page categories? weird. I'll revise my opinion from them being out of enough stuff it doesn't look good, to them being disorganized enough they could restock next week, or still have their site showing out of stock a decade from now.
They've always had a hard time getting the hazmat right, so that's nothing new, although this is worse than usual.hobbylinc shows lots in stock today, but very odd on descriptions and hazmat on a e load or too for 29 40/120
