Watch out! Prices are going up!

[fullforce]

Hi folks,
We've been getting hit with huge increases in material costs and production costs over the last year. Up till now we've been able to keep all of our prices the same and absorb the increases.
As of June 1st '05, we are being forced to increase prices on some of our items as we can no longer afford to absorb these cost increases. The price changes will not be huge and they will not include all products. Some select products like rollbars, chassis and carbon fiber items will have the biggest increases.
If you've been looking at picking up some of these items please do it now before the prices go up.

Thanks for the heads up!
I wish I had the cash now, but alas I will have to pay the extra for all my nifty 18T parts.

Hey Skratch,
All of the new 18T parts will not be effected by this. Most of the items that will see an increase are things that we've had out for years, like the MAXX stuff. Carbon fiber prices are going up too and there is a bit of shortage on some of the material we use. This will effect the carbon chassis, Savage TVPs etc.
I have personally done just about anything that I can think of to avoid raising prices. I may even discontinue parts rather than have to put them out with big price increase.

The mini-T stuff is all in stock and ready to ship out. None of these parts are affected by our new price increases.
So far the only part that we've had to adjust the price on has been the 2.5 MAXX rollbar. We're trying to do this as fair as possible so we're not going to adjust the price on any of the in stock inventory. We'll only post new pricing as we get to the next batch of parts where they have cost us more to produce due to materials etc.
