Microtech Shop?
 

has anyone heard from Microtech lately?

Can't get through on the phone and website appears to be down.

seems its down for maintenance? i got an order from them last week, i think they;re still well and truly alive :)

Yep, I've just had the same problem, no phone, no website :(

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.......

got parts last week no problem and spoke to krob

so i think they are still alive:thumbsup:

Well if there website is down and there phone is down maybe they are having problems with there phone line as they run off the same line, I'm sure they'll be back up soon, or just order from DMS :woot:

Keith!!!!!!!!!

!!!!!!!!!!!ANSWER THE PHONE!!!!!!!!!!:confused:

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

What at 11pm at night? You are eager Neil...... LOL

Or Keith ran out of ginger biscuits? :woot:

Yes i am eager, I have been trying to get Keith for some time and was unsure if something happend to him but i just see he was at the Micro race at Hereford so at least i know he is alive.

!!!!!!!!!KEITH ANSWER THE PHONE!!!!!!!!:thumbdown:

Feel the love KRob :D

I think its about time we have a "Mighty Keith Robertson" Facebook page alá the Nobby, Crisis and Doughty ones lol

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 :'(

dear god I hope not, they had one of the best online shops of all rc modelshops.
best of luck to rob and the team if it is!

Real shame to if they have gone :cry:

But i would wait till one of the guys actually confirm this has happened.

any ideas when they are going back online? waiting to make an order and no one else has everything i want in stock :-(

Ian, you might want to read the four posts above yours...

rummors? only takes one guy to say they closed then everyone else tells everyone, surly something would have benn mentioned before close down, not even a big sale ?

I love your optimism, it made me smile :)

:-( i guess its time to start looking for a new store then, most i have looked have dont have all the stuff i want in stock and hassle ordering from all over the place ant it

Sorry to hear the bad news I've used them a lot in past years

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.

We love you Keith :( :( :( :( :(
R.I.P Microtech

Sorry to hear. Keith and kev always looked after me

Gutted:(

Such a shame, just as i was about to put in a big order aswell :(

Keith and the team, my inspiration has gone, amazing company, amazing customer service. Hope you open up under a different name and still give us something to aim for. Gutted :-(

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!

:wtf:

Very sorry to hear about this, Mircrotech was top notch.

As Simon said. :(
Sign of the times I guess...

shocking news always fast delivery and you knew if it was in stock or not from their excellent web site will be greatly missed within the rc community

Jeez! Microtech was a shop I always relied on, probably the best priced for spares parts n tyres i've found - pretty gutted! :( I hope therel be a mark 2 microtech sometime.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooo :( :(

So whens the new shop opening :lol:

Sorry to hear that it's closed, one of the best shops in the uk, were always really helpful and were great doing business with.

Keith, do you have any products still avaible as I was just about to put an order in or are you keeping them??

Carl

So sad to see the shop go :( Always great service in person, through email and over the phone, just about the most helpful people I've dealt with.

if orders are still possible i was also going to order today finding this out changed. so i would if can. i understand if it is wished to not be said but what was the reasoning for closing?
