Best Us Sites

[OnceAGrasshopper]

What are the best USA online stores for parts and such (batteries, charges, hop-ups (seems like you need to hit the Hong Kong guys for some older hop-up parts - like for TA-02 stuff))? I've always gone to Tower Hobbies by default and wonder if there are better places.....

And by better I will say price, selection, timeliness in shipping, and maybe ability to give good advice for a purchase??

Thanks in advance

I had good luck with Stormer Hobbies back in the day, but I haven't ordered from them in years (last order I placed with them was over the phone, if that's any indication). Their prices seem to undercut Tower by a tiny bit, but I know nothing about their customer service these days.

Not sure about part prices, but for kits, Ultimate Hobbies always seems well below Tower's prices (on Tamiya stuff). The site isn't as easy to navigate when it comes to tracking down parts but I always buy my kits there.

I ordered 2 tamiya's from them recently and both arrived quickly - good prices imo
