Buying kit in Germny - Please help
Hi, I have a Traxxas Stampede 4x4 and am currently based in Frankfurt, Germany.
I am having huge issues gettting any sort of kit for my stampede. Not necessarly Traxxas, even aftermarket.
I recently stripped a driveline shaft but it seems the only place Ican get stuff is UK(very expensive)or US (long delivery times).
Can someone suggest a European supplier of aftermarket parts or ebay seller that has kit in Germany?
Thank you!!

Hey, I don't know much about sourcing Traxxas parts, but I would try these two shops:
www.seq-modell.de , and
www.monster-hopups.de
I know other really good shops, but more for other brands, more for race buggies, etc.. Actually, go on and try www.buggy-land.eu .. For Germany their prices are about as decent as it gets...

Cool, thanks!
Isn't it crazy how expensive kit is over here. I have honestly contemplated a trip to the US for a "holiday" with the GF. May just happen thatwe accidently come accross some large hobby shops.

RC stuff has become MASSIVELY more affordable in Germany in the last five years or so... Traxxas stuff I don't know.. But more and more you can get good nitro 8th scale stuff for at least decent prices on ebay, and at shops like:
www.buggy-land.eu
www.hk-nitroshop.de
www.mst-modellbau.de and maybe a few others..
Another tip - check out www.ebay.co.uk , and maybe a few British shops. The Euro is kind of c.rap at the moment, but when it's doing better it can make sense to order from the UK. No Customs btw..

Cheers guys. I got what I needed. But I am just going to get it from Modelsport in the UK asI will be in our London office anyway and its so much easier to deal with a company that speaks English.....Yes I should learn German I know!
