We are certainly accustomed to dealing with items that are out of stock... We do try to pre-order things as much as possible. For instance, we have some things we specifically like to do in a tank drive system - what we most commonly use, so, before the season approaches, we order the parts for it. That doesn't solve the problem, of course. It does help.

I did just get off the phone with Vex as we we needed one replacement part... It was out-of-stock, so.... Last night we braced ourselves and mentally prepared ourselves to complete redesign the drive train, pending my conversation with Vex. Luckily the part will be back in stock in the next day or two and I should be able to have it by Tuesday next week.
