My guess as to what they are going to do is they, (Losi) will get the kits to the Horizon warehouse in California. Then they will ship out from California to shops all over the U.S. You will first see kits on the west coast making there way out east.
Horizon did this with the Spektrum systems so I don't see any changes being made. This saves on shipping costs.
