Default online parts order

So, looks like Losi part prices are all the same no matter what site I go to, NO DISCOUNT.
My question is who has the best service, fastest shipping etc?.
LA parts house? A-Main? HobbyTown?

I don't really have a local hobby shop.
Thanks

I would say amain or ebay. I've heard amain handles hobbytowns online stuff. Haven't looked into the validity of that statement though.

Losi/Horizon use the MAP (Minimum Advertised Price) model for their items so what you see is what you pay regardless of store. Amain runs Hobbytown's online store so that's basically the same and most would suggest Amain as your first stop and I would add Stormer as always being worth a look as well. If you want older parts, you can occasionally find them for less on Ebay but for newer stuff, you're kinda stuck.

I believe they are only doing business here anymore but perhaps someone else can add more to the story.

Superior closed their store in Orlando. Robbie is now running a store in Cocoa Florida, Beachline Raceway RC.

My amain login works on both amain and hobbytown and never registered at hobbytown, so yes that seems to be true.
