.....i also buy EVERTHING online......the industry has almost become it's own worst enemy because there are SO MANY cars and SO MANY classes. It would be impossible for any given hobby shop to satisfy everyone and stock parts for everything that is out there. i buy my onroad stuff from someone who also runs onroad and knows his stuff.......you almost need to buy from a specialist who understands what he's selling.........not a toy store, which most "hobby" stores have become.....
