total waste of money. Don't do that. You paid for shipping twice. For that price, you could have purchased a part

I just did that last time I ordered from them. Right after I order I remembered my bro broke his evader AGAIN and needs more parts. I had to make THREE orders! [:@] He already broke that thing again!

At least with the "parts express" thing its like $3 to ship instead of $8

That's the downside when you're running non-traxxas. lol JK

I make my hobby shop do more work and order it so I dont have to pay shipping.

I've done that a few times and they are treated as seperate orders. If you call them you can have them all put together but that slows the order down by a day or 2

well my LHS is horrible so I've only been there once. They only stock like 3 savage parts, no traxxas or tamiya whatsoever! but its mostly a heli/ plane shop so I see why. I just order from tower. They keep raising their prices though. A year or maybe a year and a half ago I ordered some epic dreaudnaughts and they cost me $33 now they sell them for $50 and shipping cost $5 now it costs $8. And I got my savy last year for $400 now its $415! its small but annoying... still they do have the cheapest around...
