Some one tell me this isn't true!?! They are/were the best all round RC shop in the country! (for range, price and shipping)

Hi Everyone,

Yes - it's true. Microtech Racing is now closed.

Thank you to all those that have supported us throughout the years.

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!!! I'm sure Microtech was the best shop in the country! Wide range, great prices, easy to navigate website, live stock levels, and helpful staff. This is a tragic day.

Is it just me or were there no warning signs at all? I had an order in last week and some other stuff on back order and it all seemed business as usual....

Is this the end of Microtech, or just the end of this shop/incarnation? Is it fair to assume that current back orders are cancelled?

Thanks for a great shop/service Keith and crew- all the best for the future!

I wasn't expecting this! Real shame!

I was their Mirage/ Hpi rep when Kev first opened and was so impressed by the way Kev and Keith etc ran the business and grew to what it was.

Wish you all the best guys!
