Duratrax gone?

[Glitch]

I’m seeing people say that duratrax is no more. Is that true? Any good deals or good stock left online?

Not gone, gone are all the Six-Pack, Hatchets, X-Cons.. basically the good stuff (IMO)..
But, they do have the Warthogs, which are relatively new.. But options are slim from Duratrax currently.

Interesting, I wonder why these guys think they’re discontinued https://www.facebook.com/groups/421769171737436/permalink/1505902329990776/?mibextid=W9rl1R

I'm going to say most likely as HH has a tendency to silenlty discontinue entire product lines. If you ask HH they will just beat around the bush about it and not really give you a straight answer.

I had asked them what was going on with the Ecx line last summer as everything was listed as being discontinued and they literally didn't even answer my question about the future of the brand. Now Ecx is still listed but hobby shops are telling people that the brand is discontinued. Also HH never renued the Ecx Trademark so there's that.

They are owned by another brand. The actual brand that owned their lineup has now started making the same tires and new ones

This is typically what I see whenever I search for Duratrax tires..

Louise Rc has been making them for years, Duratrax was just the name for US distribution, they didn't just start making them for themselves.

Yup just a rebrand of the same tires

Duratrax here in US, Louise RC elsewhere.. but now sadly unavailable in the US.
I guess HH has no desire since they own Proline, which unfortunately doesn't have comparable options to Duratrax/Louise...
How she goes I guess.

I have a set of the warthogs on my XRT and really like them a lot, but my favorite tire ever was the good ol Hatchet X.

I think you can still order the Louise Rc stuff from Asiatees. I'm not sure of anyone else that ships them to the states but I have never really looked.

Asiatees has some Louise Rc tires https://www.asiatees.com/featured?brand=Louise+RC

EuroRc has some as well https://www.eurorc.com/search/?q=louise+rc
