OK, this is a common exercise so we should be able to get this done.

Is there any other source of individual parts such as these? I have tried Horizon Hobby, Tower Hobbies, Hobby People but no one has the parts I need.
What components are you trying to order? Links, product names, etc. Your issue is way to vague for me to help you.

For example:

Say you wanted this motor:
http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...4_6_840kv.html

You want to match it with this speed control
http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...ontroller.html

You want to run a 14x8 on 3S should shoulr draw about 44 amps. Want this spinner
http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...0mm_shaft.html

14X8 blades
http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...op_Blades.html

Now, what is the issue. I don't understand the problem.

If the blades are out of stock, get them somewhere else. google 14X8 folding props. I would probably buy the blades and spinner from the same place. Maybe call them to confirm that those blades work with that spinner.

If the speed control is out of stock select a different one or google 60 amp brushless speed control.

I am not sure of the issue.
