This is quite old news but I found it interesting. Goes to show the RC hobby is sadly shrinking .

I'm actually more surprised that it's not in worse shape than it is the way things are these days.

Ever since 2.4 came around, i have seen less and less Jr. and i know back in the day, since they were in the top 3 or 4. seams Spektrum took their place at the tracks i see. They had good stuff strong servos.


Buts even Futaba. Mack in the mid or early 90s, my cousin worked there when they had a warehouse in Irvine, CA. The rc industry was like 10% of their business.
