Gaz! Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 1, Modelsport, used for rc’s, electrics and parts. 2, eBay, some great sellers on there for the more obscure parts. 3, Rcbitz, great guy for tyres, Rc4wd stuffs etc. 4, Asiatees, great for hop-ups spare parts. 5, Powerhobby in the U.S for all sorts of bits (not used them in a while though) Hobbyking used to be great for cheap lipos, been to a few local hobby shops but the lack in the amount they carry, charge way too much, arrogance of the staff put me off completely, why should they have my money if they cant offer a decent level of service!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ad456m Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 Rcbitz, Martin’s a helpful dude! Plaza Japan for Tamiya and Kyosho Asiatees for Boom Racing stuff. eBay a lot!! Injora for cheap scale bits. ModelSport on an odd occasion tho that’s less and less. CNHL for Lipo as no-one else seems to be able to deliver them to me. Cracking batteries as well. Time Tunnel Models, Neil is also very helpful! MB Models is good too Amain is good for the US stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfie1 Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 Wheelspin, modelsport or eurorc. Many years ago when the Wheely king came out (the 1 with the plastic front wheels) A Main messed up their pricing and put the decimal point in the wrong place and missed out the last number and i got 1 super cheap, so for us stores them. I have also bought stuff from Integy in the past and 99% of it has been fantastic so quite like them too 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cactus Posted July 14, 2023 Author Share Posted July 14, 2023 Interesting seems like most of you use the bigger shops. I use wheelspin and modelsport occasionally if they have what I want at the cheapest price. My main go to shops are ModelTune and Answer-RC though. Also the smaller ones like LukesRCShop but that’s mainly for Savage parts. ebay, hmmm not so much as new parts are usually fake/Chinese but I do use eBay for 2nd hand parts and cars for my videos.

Yrkoon Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 model sport and wheelspin models are my go to ones 🙂 then the likes of amazon do good batteries for good prices and flea bay for more obscure stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex97 Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 SC Models as they are local to me, modelsport is always good for bigger order and then plaza Japan for anything tamiya. Compared to a few years ago most of the model shops in the UK are pretty good now which is good. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
