I feel bad for you guys that got these LHS that are only in it for the $$$. I have one of those too. But he does have parts if I'm up that way. I'm about 20 minutes either way from both. But my real RC guy is south of me. He gets all my business unless I'm up my son's that lives near the other guy and I need something small. Example TRAXXAS online suggested price could be $3.00 my RC guy would get $2.75 the other guy $3.25. Not much but the higher the price, the bigger the difference. Plus my RC guy can do the awesome repairs! How many LHS have a drill press, grinder and lathe in them? Not to mention glow starters charged and hex screwdrivers at the ready. LOL
