Default Online hobby store

Very new newbie here! Recently purchased an Axial Ridgecrest and broke it second day out, so learning fast. In my hunt for parts I came across Redstarhobbies.com in Australia. Advertising set of Venom beadlox wheels for $5.00 along with set of tires for $5.00. They take Paypal so probably not much risk but site has to "quote" a shipping cost after you pay, then you can accept or cancel the order. Anyone had any experience with them? Thanks in advance.

Sounds suspicious to me, but I haven't actually worked with them myself. Sorry

Taylosville... is that in Australia?
If not, why bother about some unknown Aussie retailer when there are so many others to pick from?

They look legit from here. They have a brick and mortar shop where you can buy in person and they give directions to it.Contact Us Probably a little different shopping cart. Go through the full checkout process don't just click the paypal button the first time you see it. That way you can pick your shipping method and have the full quote before confirming your order.

Not sure how the AUD compares to the USD but its says that there prices are all AUD so you might be wary of that too.
