For me amainhobbies.com and towerhobbies.com are pretty good.
Someone from the US should be able to give you some more options.

I never seen or heard of a shop just specializing for short course trucks . They wouldn`t get much business just selling for SCTs .

Amainhobbies.com is cheap and they ship fast. Just don't forget your local track...because your can't send your race entry to the mail order shop.

You guys are all missing the point! But thanks any way.

The reason I asked the question was that shops that specialize usually do testing on new products sometimes before we ever hear of them. I"m just looking for info. I spend thousands a year racing and I spend 90% of that at MY local hobby/race track. Thanks.

I know what your talking about! You say you spend lots of money on this hobby, then you of all hobbyist should know a hobby shop would go broke specializing and selling in just one thing. Use your head.
