Best place to buy online?

[PitbullTD]

Looking to get back into RC's, I'm definitely a HPI/Savage guy. Where is the best place to buy online? Best prices, quick delivery etc...

Is there a general one stop this is the best place spot or do you guys order different things through different shops? Just looking to get the most bang for my buck as I dump all this money in getting restarted.

Thanks!

For delivery depends on where you are. I get stuff from A Main in a day or two and shipping is free over $25. Plus those guys and gals are super nice and helpful.

This place is usually the cheapest, but shipping can be a bit slower and the selection does not match that of A Main. They usually ship 3 days after order is placed.

Now go max out that credit card! The economy is counting on you, i can't hold it up all by myself!

Ebay has some real good sellers. Amainhobbies is who I usually go through since they always ship fast.

http://www.stormerhobbies.com/ has great prices but shipping isnt quite as fast as AMAIN.

Well as impatient as I am, I bit the bullet and drove 1 1/2 hours to Topeka to get started. Jesus 1200 dollars in and I still dont have servos, new engine, pipe, or anything to make the XL more durable.

UGH. Thought I'd be complete around 1500, looks like its going to be more like 2000. Time to start reviewing build threads and putting my own together.

Theyre great if they have what you want in stock but dont special order anything. I did twice both times it took me about 3 weeks to get the list of stuff I special ordered.

I used TowerHobbies.com for a few years but became fed up with their product selection, back orders and slow usps shipping. switched over to amainhobbies.com and was amazed with the product selection, prices, the site's ease of use and enough shipping options to satisfy anyone! When i would order from tower (illinois) it would take at least a week to get parts and a few days to get new kits, with amain (california) i can get parts and kits in a few days. keep in mind i live in michigan

Either ebay or rcplanet.com is very reliable. if you want i can give you some of the sellers names that i use
