Parts availability

[mickeykelley]

As I'm sure many of you are like me, I'm running into parts issues with so called 'older' out of production engines.  I understand that there are valid reasons for not continuing to make certain models as time moves on, but parts will be needed for an extended time frame.  Since many of these Spectrum units are on the higher price side, we don't expect to just throw away the engine when some thing like trucks, motors, gears, etc. that are essential need work.  I can understand why they would stop making certain ancillary parts, but not main parts.  Just seems to me that the parts business is, which is really part of long term customer service and a profit center, is being overlooked.
