Cox is coming back

[peskeybobcat]

This my be old news just thought I would share it.

On February 6/2009, at 16:00 hrs MST, Estes Industries (the owner of Cox Hobbies) effectively shut down their "Cox" division, affecting the supply of all their vintage Cox products. Finished is everything that is associated with gas-powered engines and flying.



Now here is the good news!

We were in a position to acquire the remaining Cox inventory, including many engines and parts, as well as tooling, dies, moulds and machinery.

At present, there is sufficient supply on hand in our facilities to supply the world market for some time. Also, we are in the process of setting up manufacturing to continue production of some more popular parts and accessories, all on original Cox tooling and partially with former Cox OEM suppliers.

Although the # of items we plan to manufacture is limited at present, we will look at what else is viable down the road.

We wish to thank all of our friends and customers for their overwhelming support and would like it be known that we will continue to provide you with the same quality products and "customer comes first" service that you have become used to.

Wishing an awesome day!
Bernie and Xena

Do you know if they are going to make parts for the Cox .09?

Well so much for the cox .09
Hello!



Due to the limited market for 09 parts, I doubt that we will ever manufacture any parts for that engine. Production runs have to be made in the 1,000’s of parts and it would take way too many years to sell. Every time we manage to get in some 09 parts from somewhere and list them on ebay it takes weeks, if not months to move even a handful of them.



Thanks for contacting us and have a great day!

I doubt that they will ever manufacture any parts for anything they probably will just sell out.. :mad:
