TaiSeng... my experience was ,call them up to check for hpi parts availability, before I could finish my sentence the lady transfer me to another line, a guy pick up and before I could finishasking he transfer me back to the lady, the lady pick up then just hung up. Well so much for customers service at TaiSeng, decided to get my parts online, and I'm glad that I only have 1 hpi car and they are not tamiya distributor haha. I only support good HOBBY shop with good service

The sponge for the steering can use Yeah racing and many others brand. you can drop by street revo whom is the yeah racing distributor in singapore. the boss Ethan is very helpful if he is around. But if he is not around, do look for those wearing the street revo t shirt guys playing drifting on his track they are very knowledgeable and willing to help too.

Ebay still one of the best place to buy vintage parts.

Another good place is Yahoo Japan but super troublesome as Japanese hardly communicate in English and they are reluctant to sell oversea even after you managed to find a way to pay them
