OK, lets get some things straight... Ansmann is not an RC MANUFACTURER, they are a RESELLER, what I mean is, they don't actually MAKE their cars and speed controls, they rebadged/box and shift units. They have obviously realised that there are far more profitable lines of business in Europe and gone with them. It would be a problem if they had invested in moulds, designs etc, but hadn't, all manufacturing is carried out by Team C for their racing products.
As for the letter, I read that as a public release, customers of Ansmann are well within their rights to know that their supplier is ceasing supporting their product and gives them plenty of time to find alternative suppliers for spares.
