It's SMF Store. Maybe we should list these stores under the country they are located in. I'll also include Thetoyz.com (US) not a lot of stuff for savages but great for the smaller cars.

who else, NITRONUTZZ.

PS. I live by a Hobby Town USA literally 10 minutes away.

After purchasing a racing clutch bell from them when I got home and opened the package I realized it was a 13 tooth. I asked for a 17 , the 13 is way too small for the savage. so, I called them, they said sure bring it back for exchange. When I did they would not take it because the package was open.
HOBBY TOWN USA, ORLAND PARK IL. you guys lost my buisness. because you would not exchange a 13 dollar part. I have spent hundreds there on fuel alone.

It's a great idea actually but alot of the LHS are franchise type deals. I know I live within distance from a Hobby town USA and quit frankly the service there sucks they are not very helpful and cannot even find the parts I am looking right at, and will tell you we don't have it. Hobby town may be a good source but that all depends on the certain store you deal with. I would assume online orders would maybe come out of a central wharehouse so online ordering may be OK but dealing with the LHS may be a waste of your time. Just my .02.

In Totowa, NJ, I deal with CRISPY CRITTERS (http://www.crispycrittershobbyshop.com/). Great place, owned for years & years by guys that are into R/C. They can get anything I want. Good prices, too.

Online, I've dealt with Tower Hobbies & Ultimate Hobbies. Both have been really good - no complaints at all.
