AmainHobbies.com – Chico CA, USA
We have bought from Amainhobbies in the past, in fact, that is where we purchased our Dirt champ Design lap-timer. I have never had a problem, they offer shipping discounts after you reach a certain amount and coupon codes are easy to find. Watch out for Canada Customs on big purchases.

DollarHobbyz.com – Stillwater MN, USA
The price is hard to beat. Some of their stuff comes from vehicles that they purchase as a whole and then part out. This can really save you money if you aren’t caught up in fancy packaging. I have always been very happy with them and their customer service. If your unsure of a purchase, just email them first.

ExotekRacing.com – OCEANSIDE CA, USA
The 22 Steering Conversion Kit was my first purchase from Exotek. I am very happy with the product, but I found the shipping price high. $20.00 for shipping to Canada is a bit steep when you consider the product I purchased.

HobbyKing.com – Hong Kong, with warehouses in Australia, European, UK and USA.
Their shipping is based on weight. They offer a shipping calculator that tells you how much more weight you can add to your package for free. I don’t mind ordering from here, but I have waited as long as a 6 weeks for a package to arrive. Hobby King shipped it quick, the postal services involved in getting it from Hong Kong took their sweet time. I usually order from here in the off season when I am not in rush for anything. Product prices are very inexpensive.

TheToyz.com – Auburn WA, USA
When buying a bunch of parts online, it can get expensive if you need to buy from different stores and/or can’t combine shipping. The Toyz provided a one stop shop for me that saved me money on the products and on shipping. I love buying from these guys.
