George, the owner of GorillaMaxx, was an architect(still is AFAIK) by day and made the Gorilla stuff as a hobby/side business. Between Traxxas threatening a lawsuit for the "xx" in the brand name, and the economic downturn that crushed a lot of people's discretionary income in late '08, it just became more of a task than an enjoyment or money maker for him, so he threw in the towel(I wanna say maybe in '09 or '10 - don't remember exactly). The Gorilla stuff was always nice - I have a few Gorilla trucks around(of course) and have no intention of parting with them. I hooked up with George early on with the G1 chassis(won one at a race when it first came out) and was pretty involved throughout the tenure of GorillaMaxx, so a bit nostalgic for me. :-)
