I don't see any problem to buy on-line these days. I buy on-line myself about 80% of the time. If I'm at the track(120 miles away) and they have parts I need or want to stock up on, I will buy some there. All my local shops would have to order what I need anyways and like you said, it usually takes a while. Don't worry about it. Just keep on doing what you need to do and race/have fun with this hobby.

The center diff needs to be changed more often than the others. It turns black more quickly.

Manny -
Just asked the question. You answered and it was a good answer. You tried the local shop and it doesn't work as well as you wish it would.
Afterall, the 8ight is one of the most popular cars out there and it does not sound like support is that good. That is where "worth their weight in salt" comes in. They are not when it comes to this car.
Prices? By all means save a buck. It works and it can not be debated. Freefall will confirm. Our shop will help anyone and any where. We help guys at tracks all over the place. We provide the kind of support that online just can not do. It is hands on type stuff with you learning it all the way.
I would like to think that our shop is worth its salt. The owner does a great job.
You did what you are supposed to do.
Rock on!
PS - I like A-main.
