Can anyone say what happened with the VSE motors? I've searched and found that they are no longer in production, and there's potentially a new 1/8th 4-pole on the way (ETA: 2013'ish..... kidding

).
Anyway what happened to the old VSE's that they were apparently in production for like a month? Is there an issue with the motors that ceased production, or lack of sales, or manufacture issues?
