i've yet to have to buy any, but the only place i can go is tower or just about any other online hobby shop, due to my lhs is deep throating traxxas and losi, and the other good one moved 40 miles away. if you get the team kit you get a fully hopped up buggy- very very durable. i basically just went out and bought an e-revo vxl to mess with in case anything broke to wait for mail. But imo its the best bang for your buck, that or the mugen buggy, but the odonnell also weighs 1 lb less than the mugen.
