Whats that? Are MZ/Am UK suppliers for Thunder Tiger??? I'm in the process of building a G4 and i expect it to crash hopefully not during the maiden but soon after i'm sure. If i cant get parts or they become any more expensive i'll be proper gutted.

Cheers

Guys & girls,

Can't say for certain but Amerang should start shipping as normal from early next week. They were due to be closed for a week for their annual stocktake anyway before the announcement about Modelzone.

They have been waiting for a large shipment of parts which was due to arrive last week but still hadn't arrived by Friday.

However, if anybody does have a spare set of PV1518 - Metal FBL Rotor Grip Levers, I have cash waiting.............

Cheers

Gavin


so hopefully Parts will get out soon as will the new TT 700 electric,, Thunder Tiger are fine so even if the worst happens and amerang close then parts will get sorted .
In the meantime i Have a feathering spindle RRP £9.99 yours for £400

If Amerang do shut up shop, im pretty sure CML, Ripmax etc would take on Thunder Tiger. I hope not Ripmax tbh cos theyre rubbish at importing anything! And I would Imagine with Fast-lads USA arm dealing with Hobbico in the USA we would be able to source parts through Fast-Lads anyway. Im sure it wont affect us, the end users much if at all

ahh thats a relief. not been having the best of days today and that news just topped it off. got smacked in the face today by a metal retaining clip and its popped a big old hole in my front teeth, i said when i did it that the day couldn't get any worse, I was starting to panic a bit

[pgkevet]

G4 ? Isn't that the security company that keeps cocking up?

Modelzone/Amerang go into administration...

I spoke to Trevor at midlands this morning. Thunder tiger are still supporting amarang and there's a huge order of parts on the way to uk shops as we speak. The current lack of parts is just high demand.

Any news on the situation with Amerang/MZ?

as far as I know business as usual parts getting shipped to uk dealer this week ?
but not 100%
Amerang have just posted on fb with the new 700 crash kit

[Jamin_00]

Not worried about TT, someone else will pick them up for sure. I mean whats happening with the company, anyone know anything?

Someone buying Amerang??

[electricsceadu]

there is a thinking that logic rc will be looking at thunder tiger distribution
quite how accurate this is i don't know but it is from a source that is in the know rc heli wise
