Maybe just the delay in turning it off. The Staff all finished last friday
No, HorizonHobby.co.uk is still going buddy it's the Direct shop for the UK now.
They are doing quite a bit of work to the site at the mo, prob just down for maintenance. It'll be be back up soon.
The R8's ar a bargain, about £400. They are end on line though and will be discontinued in the near future.

Hiya,
There has been a big change behind the scenes, that is a given!!!!!
The price of parts has gone up a little across the board, thank you brexit and the unstable, low exchange rate that has caused for that one!!
The price of the cars has gone up yes, I questioned this myself and was told it was because Horizon UK were heavily discounting cars to get sales to make there sales ledger look good to the Americans. Horizon France, Germany, Italy, etc, who in the old system were separate companies in effect, were all doing it. It's one of the reasons why in Europe Horizon has decided to pull all of Europe under one roof, to keep things consistent. The RRP in the UK is now the same all over Europe. In the UK we now get a price list in €'s, the same price list they get all over Europe.
As for parts support and customer support, nothing to worry about really. My stock levels of parts had gone down, yes. I only found out a day or two ago I still had an account!! and I was nervous about filling my shelves in the last couple of months with stock that I would have to discount and sell on if I didn't get a new account. A full list of 'Horizon Certified Partners' can be found here :-
https://www.horizonhobby.co.uk/Local-Dealers.htm?SessionId=&a=catalog&p=51068
We will be, of course, stocking parts for the DBXLE, why wouldn't we, the thing looks awesome!! I haven't listed the car yet as I'm waiting for the parts price list. As personally I think it's hard to make a decision about buying a car without knowing the parts prices first.
Saying that though I can tell you the Freeprawn Racing price which will be £889.99 and you will also get 890 bonus points (as long as you don't buy with 0% credit) worth £44.50 effectively making the price of the car £845.49.
Hope that info helps.

The thing is an absolute hoot out the box!!
Come to the shop (Call first!!) and have a look and a go.
I'm not saying it's a bargain but it is a fantastic good 2s or 3s basher and worth the money IMO.

We support the Helion cars very strongly and all of the range too. Distributor Warranty and customer technical support is also excellent.
Most parts are available from stock from us, Supplier stock is also very good.
Not saying Helion better than Traxxas, just saying Helion spare support is cushty :o)

Yes we will be stocking these, no dates at the moment though, but shouldn't be too long.
Looking forward to it, am loving the Select Short Course Truck. If this is more or less the same price and same quality gonna be a very fun Truggy.
Parts are very reasonable too, should be a good useable basher

I know, my order was placed on Tue
I could have ordered one elsewhere for £140 collected (not in stock), but being the sort that wants my stuff now, I ended up paying nearer the £160 (incl P&P).
Servo - £149.99
Interlink (Next day) deliver - £4.99
And you get £7.50 worth of bonus points too.
Not really nearly £160 is it.

Perfect timing as I'm hopefully going to beat the snot out of mine over the Easter weekend so I'm bound to bust something !
Will you be carrying the stock in store or will it be supplier stock for parts and hop ups ?
At Freeprawn when we get behind a car it means we carry parts in stock. It can take a little while to get stock levels right but things usual settle with a new model in a month or two :o)
Yes, we will be stocking hop ups.

Thanks Nige.
I'm just weighing up the options and going back and forth in my head whether I should get the Four10 or go down the used tried and tested Slash/AE/Blitz route etc.
Its just for club racing and bashing so i'm sure my driving will more of a factor than the actual car.
You should try the select 4, you won't be disappointed

Nothing much, Shell and wheels and a few tweaks that won't really matter
I don't think personally it's owt worth hanging out for, but saying that I actually like the non-plus wheels and tyres

Just noticed, the pictures are now available, I'll get the parts listed this weekend.

I can get all parts no prob at all. to your door, in 2 to 3 days.
I have to be honest, I haven't listed them at the moment because pictures are not available and I don't like listing items without pictures.
Prices of spares are very reasonable for example:-
Front Bumper £5.99
Front arms £5.99
Complete Front or Rear Diff £9.99

I have just had word off the distributor the Plus won't be here this month and fingers crossed should be here first half of next month, although there is no fixed date at the moment.
It's not delayed, there are no issues, it's more a general shipping logistics thing.
There will be a Roller version of the Plus and I am expecting to be more or less the same pricing as the current model.

Had a meeting with AAA Racing today, Good news.
Chassi brace - Yep, no probs, will be £4.99.
Gear cover - No problem, will be about £7.50 to £9.99 depending on how simple we can keep the design.
Skid plate - Will need work, but if they can pull off what I've asked for then it will be awesome. Only issue is it might be £20 to £25 ish maybe a little more depends again on how complicated the design is.
Looking forward to getting samples made and having Doddy test them!!
