**Backster** · 08-12-2011, 09:55 AM

I accidently stumbled across it earlier today at work, aswell as a helping hand from 1truckerdan. I wrote Joe Ford @ castle a mail regarding if this is true og not.
But I ordered 3 anyways :) Just in case :)

Now its just a matter of waiting out HK to get the Turnigy 180A esc :)

Simple explenation, They are sold out again, but now for the last time :)

**RIPFENCE** · 08-13-2011, 08:31 AM

i do not understand why they just cannot produce these again? even if they were 135-150 i bet they would sell plenty more

**1truckerdan** · 08-13-2011, 08:42 AM

The price of the material to make rare earth magnets has gone up over 400% in the last 12 months.

**RIPFENCE** · 08-13-2011, 08:44 AM

Obviously I did not know this...good to know

**Backster** · 08-13-2011, 08:59 AM

Defenatly nice to know, but as stated abowe, they could moast likely charge quite a bit more, and even sell a bundle :)
But at 70$ I understand why the stock didnt last more than 14 hours :)

**1truckerdan** · 08-13-2011, 09:02 AM

At this time China has controll of the prices as they have the only mines open to dig the material outa the ground.The US in trying to open 2-3 mines as we speak but it will take time.We have large deposites of the raw rare earth minerals but China is producing 80% or more of the worlds supply,so they are making a BIG bankroll.
Patrick Castel (castle creations founder)has talked about this on rcmonsters forums.

**ray schrauwen** · 08-13-2011, 09:57 AM

Wonder if HardDrive prices will increase too?

Simple???
I've been looking on there site, and have never seen these back up for sale ever...

kinda arrogant to say they are sold out for the last time if they were up for sale again just days ago

I own 3 of them along with others from their clearance sale and the 1717 motor were $75

I remember the regular price on these babies were $225
today with the higher mag prices they would possibly be $350?
but I agree man, at the price you said they would sell lots of them today!!

**RIPFENCE** · 08-13-2011, 03:53 PM

I did get a confirmation from castle that they had shipped and a ups tracking number so we were able to get them for a few hours..i hope its not a scam but everything seemed normal checkout at the time...

**1truckerdan** · 08-13-2011, 04:06 PM

No scams from CC. if you got conformation and a tracking # (like me

) you will get them by monday or tuesday.

I'm sure you'll be fine
Were they the air or car versions?

**LarrysDrifter** · 08-13-2011, 04:44 PM

Car versions.

Well, someone got lucky then, I cant see another way to explane it. And my statement about "last time" is directly quoted from
Joe Ford at CC. The ones they sold the 12 hours it was up, was a batch that turned up in a wearhouse.. So no need to call me arrogant
fore that reason.

**Backster** · 08-14-2011, 04:56 AM

Btw, The invoice was in my mailbox 2,5 hours after I placed the order. And never had a bad exp with CC, and I doubt I will this time either :)
I guess the should arrive late next week... Jeeeej :)

**Backster** · 08-15-2011, 12:58 PM

And if anybody was in doubt:

John,

There were some that we found in the warehouse. They sold out in 36 hours once people found out we had some. So unfortunately they are gone once again...and this time for good.
