Status: offline 		Hard to choose between tower and horizon simply because certain brands are carried by one and not the other. Generally if I have a choice I go with tower, but for anything horizon makes I use them or amain.

Stormers prices are very good, but they take forever to ship to NYS.....I waited nearly 3 weeks for the ESC for my E Maxx to get here....it took them a week to get it on UPS....I wonder if they wait till the trailer is full or something....

Both amain and LPH ship out of california. So thats something. If I order on Sunday evening (around 11pm) I usually get my order tuesday, and once I got it monday/ Amain takes 2 days to ship also.

Status: offline 		Tower seems to be dominating so far. I think the main reason I love them and why they are so popular is that their website is so informative and organized. Tower seems to provide as much info as they can on everything they carry. Too many websites out there just list a product name and picture......nothing else! And they also tell you if it's in stock or not. I know I personally will never buy something online if i don't know if it's in stock or not. Why wait for it when somebody else has it in stock?

Kudos to Tower! If they opened up shop in Canada now i'd be in heaven!

Status: offline 		Tower has a really good search....if you have a part number, or a basic description, it can come up with several choices....If you enter the name of the car, truck, aircraft, etc, it will give you most of their stock specifically for that RC

My dad and me have been customers for over 15 years, and we have never, never had one bad experience.

Too bad McMaster is not a hobby supply! I could have stock in that place
