I would have to go to Ultimate Hobbies in Orange to get my spur gears for the .8 speed or any other hop up. Where do you guys go (besides online)? Thanks in advance.
You could try Tony's hobbies in West Covina. Not sure how much you know about the history between Tony's and Elite, but I'll let you decide if you want to go there. Tony's does stock a lot of parts though. It's kind of a chore getting there since they are almost mid way between the 60 and 10 FWYs on Hacienda Blvd.
There's always Pegasus in Monte Clare. Isn't there a gyro's hobbies in your neck of the woods?
www.mircorcshop.com is a good source too, although they don't have the .8 stuff.
