| RC Cars, Questions, Information
So i bought a 1/10th TT-01 Type E Chassis electric RC Car, have wanted to for a couple years and finally decided to do it. Now my question is where can i look for parts to buy online, ie suspension, tires, rims, and anything else that i can mess around with. Also im looking for new chassis like a 350z plastic body an r34 body that i can paint myself and really make my car my own. If anyone has any information please let me know as Ive been enjoying my car thus far. Thanks.

Like everything else, buying on-line gets you stuff, but little in the way of help and support.
If you're into RC cars, try Go Go Hobbies or Apollo Hobbies. http://www.gogohobbies.com/

I'm not into RC stuff, but everytime I'm there, they're fixing stuff for free and helping customers. Very knowledgeable.

you might want to look into hop ups for the oem pinion gears + front and rear diff gears, and drive shaft, replace those with all aluminum, they tend to flex and make a horrible screeching noise
