|  Tower has a new section...
...so it seems that Crawling is now mainstream. (unless I am a n00b and somebody already posted this) Tower has a Crawler electric section now in their online catalogue... http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0093p?&C=CAJ |

Forget Tower, If my LHS doesn't have it, I turn here. Homeboy is starting to carry RC4WD stuff though: Punishers, R2's, rear lockouts, C's, etc. Last edited by BigRocks; 04-26-2008 at 06:40 AM. | |

Damn when Tower jumps on the wagon it means we are no longer a fad. |

Tower is like the used car lot of R/C to me. If you absolutely can't find a part for a 78 Datsun you sure will there. Other than that it is a no go for me.

As for ordering from Tower. Why is it whenever a company becomes successful everyone likes to act like they're somehow evil to deal with? I guess Tower and Traxxas are the Microsofts of the R/C industry. Personally I order from Tower whenever it is convenient to do so. If they have what I'm looking for and the price is decent (and it's something I can't get at the local mom and pop) then I go for it. Sometimes Tower overcharges for stuff, and in that case I don't buy from them. On the other hand I've had times where I made out great due to the tower codes. A few months ago one of the tower codes was $20 off a $50 order. | |

back about 10 years ago i bought a ton of stuff from tower., I have not ordered anything in years from them. I am just now getting back in the swing to order a few things, have they went to crap on service? I know their prices used to be great but now i dont know.

I just looked at 3 of my tower mags, none of the AX-10s are a svage with a betty body. Wait? Tower sucks? So does Traxxas? What doesn't suck? I normally order all my Micro RS4 parts from Tower. Their service is as good as it ever was. Probably should listen to Knoc though, if you have any questions feel free to PM him. He is like our leader, he just tells us what sucks and we stop buying it. | |

And Either you dont know what a Ax10 is or a savage is but I just got the tower sales magazine a couple days ago and there "Ax10 Scorpion" has a pic of a savage with a betty body on it.. I can snap a pic of it if youd like.. You seem to fall right into the commercial "I do what RcCar action tells me to" plan dont ya? I also wouldnt expect you to understand my points considering Ive been in the hobby longer than you have been living and are a 15 year old "Know it all".. But you do what works for you, and Ill do what works best for me.. Anyway.. Towers service (customer support etc.) isnt so bad, but there shipping is rather slow. At least for me and my area. I personally would shop somewhere else if Im in a rush to get it. But if it works good for you, then might as well keep buying from them. Really my only beef with them is there slow shipping and how they have there shipping rates set up. | |
