RE: where to get my t-maxx on the internet for cheap?
wow.. think about this..
you buy your t-maxx off the net, pay shipping and save a few cents (that's about all it's gonna be) meanwhile, your local hobby shop closes it's doors (that cat isn't making any money and can't keep the lights on anymore).. now you are out bashing away with your new found internet ordered t-maxx.... a tree jumps in your way and you break an a-arm... what are you guys going to do now? Pay shipping on an arm that is greater than the cost of the arm? Think about what you are doing guys.. you may spend a couple of bucks more but that hobby shop is there to help you with problems that you may have (i.e. tune your stupid engine, help you rebuild, etc) let's see the internet do that!!!! SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL SHOPS GUYS.. if you don't they won't be there when you need something small...
by the way, my local shop has the t-maxx out the door, with tax and it's cheaper than Tower's price shipped, I do believe I'll support my local guy.. he has that e-clip that I need tonight and I'm not willing to pay 6 bucks shipping on it!! and he's always there to lend a hand tuning that engine that I just can't get right or to give me a flying lesson, I don't think this is a bad deal..

I got my t-maxx on the net and saved $62 form not buying it from my LHS. I talked to the guy at my LHS he said that they would not lower ther price for my or give a deal, so they lost my $350+. I did buy all the stuff I needed for my tmaxx from my LHS, and all the parts that I brake I go there too.

RE: where to get my t-maxx on the internet for cheap?
Yea you kinda feel bad,Most of my "ma-pa" hobby shops already closed around me.There are 2 hobbytowns around there prices came down,they use to be relaly high compared to internet prices.
But there about the same as where I can find a Tmaxx or something cheap,,but the only thing that kills it is Tax,,figure I wouldnt mind spending 10-20 more to get it on the spot"I hate waiting" But then when you buy a $400 RC thats another 35 bux right there just for stinking tax,,where usally on the net its a strait price.
So I dont know what you can do about it,I dont have extra 50 bux to throw away just to buy from someone to help them,If I could I would.But yea I go and buy fuel,glow plugs,parts,oils,bodies,paints crap like that from there,Its the best I can do.

the only problem with supporting some local hobby shops is there is none near everyone my lhs for example is 2 hrs away thats the closest so by the time you put in the gas at near 3 bucks a gallon i will have ship to my door first any day besides 9 chances out of 10 i have to order it anyway so i still have to wait and he has no clue what he is talking about so why bother really

RE: where to get my t-maxx on the internet for cheap?
I, too, am all about supporting the LHS. However there's a limit to how much extra I'm willing to spend. Buck for buck (not including taxes), and a little more I definitely going to support my shop. But if they start gouging then I'm off to the Internet. My LHS is HobbyTown USA. I think they charged me about $20 more than I could have gotten my Revo from the Internet. I'm willing to get it from them at that price for the convenience and support. When I bought my TMaxx a few years ago the LHS wanted about $80 more than Tower. I attempted to barter them down a bit but their price was locked. So they lost that transaction and I went online.
To further support my LHS I always buy my parts and supplies from them.
As far as taxes are concerned, I don't have a problem paying local taxes. It's good for the local economy to pay taxes. In fact I think our state government loses quite a bit of needed revenue due to tax-free online transactions.
