    Best place to get HPI spares

    After 12months I've finally got my RS4 3 out of the shed (it was only a couple of weeks old when I broke the suspension ) and I ordered the spares from the local HPI bloke who never got around to ordering the spares or even calling me. Funny thing is, whenever I popped in their to chase him up he ALWAYS moaned about how badly his business was doing.

    I am now keen to get it back on the road, especially as I haven't got a real toy car to play with for the first time in 8 years

    So who's the best online people to use?

    There's a SHOP SEARCH on their website, should be able to find another shop local-ish to you that have your parts in stock, save you waiting on postage

    Thanks Stevie, it's through that search though that I found my local store. Thing is he was seriously crap, but I know if I rang him he'd be full of the speil so I would have to drive there to find out. I'd rather save the time and petrol money by just ordering it online.

    this lot might help mate

    If not, Tower hobbies in the States are reliable and customer service is good in my experience, they are not the cvheapest though, and shipping can take a while, also watch out for VAT when the bits get here. Give Mark a ring and see if he'll bring you some spares back?
