That's not unusual around here. I know of two hobby shops within 50 miles of me who sell Taigen tanks but do not sell any parts. One of them doesn't even keep a spare Taigen board and transmitter on hand to trouble shoot with if a tank won't start. I've made a few trips to that store with a transmitter and board so I could help the guy out when he's called for help. So, I get my parts and tanks from Erik. As far as Tamiya goes, they won't carry them in their shops. So AAF gets my money.
