Received my order from them yesterday.

Website says it is down for maintainance so no reason to believe it is anything more than that.

They will be okay, sure it is just a technical issue with the phones. They are a solid and market leading business so don't worry. :-)

They are so good that if they disappear for the morning we all panic :-) That's cool.

Well they signed for a delivery from us this morning, so they are definatley still there as you would expect, I am sure as has been said they are simply having a few techinical problems or somthing similiar and most likely Keith (KRob) will be on here sooner rather than later to put everyones minds at rest.......

I understand they have had a major server issue, and phones, god knows, someone could have chopped through the lines etc...

Ok I don't like being the bearer of bad news but Microtech is no more.
i have it on very good authority and backed this up with a call to the bike shop across the way. Apparently they shut the unit down yesterday.

I hate to see a shop close. But this is a sign of the times.

Heard the same earlier but until something official comes out I shall presume it to be rumour.

I have a swindon based RC shop sized tear in my eye though :'(
