Default HELP! BEST PLACE FOR PARTS ONLINE?

New to the hobby but need lots of upgrades for my 4908 T-MAXX. What is the best place for speedy shipping and lower prices? Please respond quickly, I have to buy stuff before my wife spends my money. Thanks everyone.

Upgrades are great but I can't help but think since you are new to the hobby maybe you should just have fun for now and save your money. If and when you need something get it. Buy a recharble battery for the RX and have fun. Having spare money really seems to be killing you!

yeah sb13 your right man, having spare money is eating me alive man. I recently quit a smoking problem I had and now I have a new more healthy hobby that I love already and I'm just wanting to have fun and pimp my truck out. If I keep having extra $ in my pocket I will be tempted so I just want to get some nice things for this Maxx. Thanks for the reply by the way it seems like alot of people read the posts but don't say anything. Later. Big Games Wrath

thanks alot guys. I was looking at amain and towerhobbies and it seems amain is better. any thoughts on rcplanet or rcsuperstore? I know rcsuperstore is an ebay store so I didn't know if they would be trustworthy to order from. I don't know anything about rcplanet except that I seen some good prices on select things but didn't know if it would be worth it in the long run, depending on delivery times and shipping prices. Let me know what you guys think and thanks for the replys. BIG GAMES WRATH

RC Planet have better prices than amain and tower, amain do better shipping prices than both, tower seem to be the dearest. A problem with rcplanet is that they don't tell you if an item is out of stock until after you have paid and then you are wait listed and they will ship it when it arrives. A very big pain if someone else has the part and you have to pay again if you need it urgently.
I find that type of business very shady and for that reason, I will not deal with them again even though they are cheaper.

I definitely agree here!!! start out running it how it is, THEN upgrade as parts break and u see fit. U will thank urself later for doing just that. Just my .02 here.
