OK I've searched everywhere.......! A few lhs here in northern CA are "serpent dealers" but none of them carry any serpent cars. Actually none of them even carry any replacement parts. I have finally decided on a nitro TC after reading many posts and doing many searches and lots of research. From reading some posts here I already knew the 710 would be the hardest to get but are they really almost impossible to find? I hope I've just been looking in the wrong places because I really want one. I went to the RCX hoping to buy one there but of course Seprent wasn't selling anything at the show. They gave me some lit there on where to buy their stuff but I misplaced it. Any info would be great. Thanks!
