Just curious about how to order from Robinson Racing, will we need to contact them directly or would we go to one of their retailers.
I am waiting for the test fit before order parts ,but I was just curious about how to order the new parts, after using the part numbers and their search engine on their site....notthing came up as a result. I am guessing they are waiting for you to approve the protoypes before releasing for sale to the public. That aside, it seems that Robinson Racing traditionally sells to larger hobby stores (e.g. Horizon, Tower, Stormer....etc). Would we need to contact Robinson directly or contact one of their retailers to obtain the shafts/gears and pulleys? Thanks in advance.

I am working with Robinson now to see if I can handle the distribution. It's not a big enough market for the big shops to stock them, but if all goes well I can sell them and ship globally. Right now Robinson is USA sales only, payment by check or money order, and phone orders. None of which work for international
