Default New place to buy parts??

So one of our hobby shops around here closed its doors and the other local one doesn't really carry everything that a dedicated crawler guy is looking for. I haven't ever really been a good internet buyer and want a place that can has a good selection and good prices. Guess im just lookin for places that people have had good experiences with. Building a losi moa and need a new radio and tires and other goodies. Thanks guys. BTW i know the vender section is a good place to look Im just asking for peoples experiences so i know where to toss my business.

Have you asked that other local shop if they could stock crawler related items? I know the shops around here want to know what people want or need so they can stock it. Because if they don't stock it, they won't make money.

Yeah i have known the guy that owns the other shop since i was a little guy, and he just doesn't want to carry any product that isn't going to sell. And alot of the guys that crawl on his course during the winter kinda drifted away during the summer. The theory of having it on hand makes sense but i can see if I'm the only guys buying its makes it hard to have alot of it in stock. For right now anyway.

RPP Hobby, everyone there is great. If you are ever in need of a part that they don't have, they will add it and get it for you right away. They carry a great selection of shortcourse items as well....

I do most of my business with RPP. Great service and fast shipping! Have also had a lot of good deals with other vendors on here like Vanquish, RC4WD, R2J, DH Fab and plenty others. There's a lot of good people out there in our hobby and I always say support the vendors.

Brian @ Brians Hobby Land gets all of my orders. Great Guy to deal with! I have bought a few small things from RPP and can say that they have super fast shipping! Just my 2 cents!
