Damn. Everything is getting reproduced. Pretty cool to build a wide armed runner.

I can't believe that it would have cost RPM so much more do to this on their own. I'd jump at the chance to get made in the USA parts from a company that has been supporting RC since nearly the beginning.

In the past they have said that it would cause them to push off production of modern parts that are selling and essentially isn't worth their loss of time.

Yeah, I'm still coming to terms with the evaporation of Lunsford. I just thought they'd always be around. You gotta do what you gotta do, though.
Hope you're doin' something fun.

It all boils down to sales and if they believe there is a profit. There is a solid belief in their part that vintage parts won’t sell. At this point I think it’s too late. A number of companies are now selling rpm parts. A year or three ago it would have been worthwhile.

I wish they would have tried a kickstarter like campaign where all of the parts are presold and none get made if the sales aren’t there.

Between ae/fan rc and jc the market is likely done . I saw fan rc a whilee back offering top dollar for nip rpm parts. Not hard to see where that would have gone.
