I know you are looking for parts in Australia but after frustration in trying to obtain bits I actually ordered from Champ RC in Japan. They are reliable and very, very quick both in reply to email questions and also delivery....did I mention very cheap as well.
If not in stock most places in Australia take 3-4 weeks to get anything out of Dawn trading if they are lucky.

Yep, I second RC Champ....
Many people say we should be supporting local hobby shops...but why? I found most of them arrogant, unhelpful, unknowledgable, slow with orders, awful with customer support, the list goes on...
I now only order from....Losi Parts House, Tower Hobbies, and recently, RC Champ....
You know, I went to Wings and Things in Gladesville about a year ago to buy a flywheel...no one in that store knew what I was talking about, which I could not possibly believe, and I'm sure many of you wont...

RC Champ and Pro Shop Futaba are the best online hobbie shops in the world and just about the cheapest aswell

If you order from www.towerhobbies.com and use UPS shipping it is usually here in 3-4 days. The UPS shipping is usually around US$50 so you have to order at least $150 of parts to make it worthwhile. I often ask around the guys at mt local track and we combine orders and share the shipping. Prices are usually half what they are locally.

time frame from champ if in stock is about 4-5 days and as far as postage goes it really depends on how heavy or large. Their postage price is very reasonable and also comes with tracking number for peace of mind.
Massa is who I have dealt with and during their working hours generally answers email within several hours with total price and availability. They also have several payment options which includes paypal. They also have a business thread on this forum
Hope this helps
