Micro Raminator - why cancelled

[Racerboy]

Dear guys,

Is there a reason why the Micro Raminator has been cancelled?
I wanted to buy at my store, but now I am not quite sure if I should buy something which is already cancelled?

regards from Austria....

im guessing it has to do with the trademark of the body, and they could only use/sell it for a limited time. it was out about a year and it may be all they were allowed to sell it for as the raminator which was built after a full 1:1 scale monster truck here in the us. the baja was pulled alos, but that was copyright problems with vw if i remember correctly.

i dont think thats why since they still sell the 1/18 ram and the 1/8 ram.

i just dont think it caught on as well as they thought it would so they discontinued it.

they also sold the 1/18 baja and the others after the micro was pulled.

Yeah probably the demand isn't high. Perhaps they should come up with a Prius or Focus body, then give rebate to anyone trade in their micro ram.

maybe if they make up a name for it like "THE THUNDERHAWG!" and mad a new body people wouldn't notice... lol
