and my point lets sort out the problems we facing if rd can put our points to managment over at durango but seems no one wants to help put our point across or no one wants to step up and deal with the problems that there that is why the brand is slowly shooting itself in the foot and many of us are walking away from the brand if our shops cannot get parts our cars sit on the shelf unable to race due to poor parts distribution to our local shops surely if someone who reads and posts on forums that club racers use and sees there a problem that racers are on the warpath over involving the company they work for surely they can at least push the point ot management or is it I work for rnd so I dont really care about the people who buy what we produce short parts supply poor upto the date stockist lists or point to bad management and point to the same problems no matter what is in the pipe line. People will not support something they cannot get parts for would you buy a reguar road car if you could not buy the parts to service it or repair it when it breaks and with no dealer network ????

First, it would be really helpful if you were to use punctuation. As things stands your posts are an absolute pain to read.
Second you have totally misinterpreted Chris's reply. You're complaining that we're not supporting the current cars and there's no focus on 10th. This is absolutely false.
Even MB Models stated that the parts availability at Revell is not at cause.
However when you quoted Chris on this phrase
We still intend to have A-team racers, B-team racers, well supported customer/club racers. this is starting to gain momentum with our 8th scale cars at the moment.
We will start to focus on 10th scale team as the cars get closer to release.
You are totally missing Chris's point, he's talking about the team - more precisely the recruitment of new team drivers, and certainly not spare parts supply.
We haven't been actively recruiting 10th racers as with the current evolution of cars we felt we needed to introduce a 2WD designed for high grip in order to be more attractive to customers and team drivers.
Unlike what some people seem to think, I find the 210 V2 is a much better car than the V1, which I could never get to grips with. I made A finals at Worksop with it and I'm not a pro driver at all. However last winter I was far off the pace as the track layouts were much more favorable to forward motor cars such as the KF.
I feel the new car will be perfectly suited to the high grip/high speed tracks of late and be more attractive to customers and subsequently potential team drivers.
The fact that we've just released a spy shot of a new car should tell you that our focus is very much on 10th scale, otherwise we wouldn't have a car near enough production ready that we'd show it.
What goes on with parts supply is beyond Chris, Adam and myself and we are not going to comment on this outside of what Chris said - The situation is a very high priority for TD and the relevant people are aware.
Now can we get back to talking about the car and not the parts supply which is another subject?
