Hi All,
As my Bio states I'm a 40 something Dad with 6 yr old son getting back into Tamiya RC Cars and I'm the proud owner of a new Super Clodbuster.
Can someone point in the direction of a UK retailer where I can buy upgrades/tune ups that doesn't require buying from the US via eBay? I've searched and searched. Modelsport.co.uk seem ok but a bit limited in stock and very difficult to search.
Appreciate the help.

UK Shop for Tamiya Tune Ups

Thank you all for your advice and suggestions. Really helpful stuff. I have done a lot of reading on here and have already made some investments. I have the Hobbywing 860 dual motor ESC from Modelsport, although the motor wires were too short to reach so I cut off the connectors and extended them with the stock Tamiya ESC wires with these - (which are excellent btw)

3s Lipo - done
Ballracers from RCbearings - done
Servo horn - I’m not sure what this is. Is this to have dual servos front/back?
Motors - I went with Tamiya Torque Tuned Motors - are these ok?
Shocks - still to get, although I’m struggling to find the Traxxas T-Mass shocks for less than about £85
Metal anti-rotation brackets - found these on eBay https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/371928197237 - like them in black.
So far we’re up to page 18 of the manual - tyres to connect next
