A very good question.... I find stanbridges usually stock up on TB-02 / EVO parts... I got the swaybar kit from them... they tend to sell and stock a LOT of tamiya gear...

Luckily there are heaps of hobby shops in perth! like Perth Hobby Centre, Perth r/c, Radio Models in vic park, Ryper Hobbies, and more!!

I'm sure some of the other guys here can help with this question.

As for bodies.. Yokomo make some awesome drifter bodies! RX7, S15, 180SX, etc... i cant remember their web page url, but damn they look HOT! come with intercoolers, exhausts, etc... very flash! Last I knew, Radio Models and Ryper had these shells... not sure now though. Yokomo's site also has some wild drift vids... with some of their best r/c drifters showing their skills... impressive.

Stanbridges are the friendliest, Perth RC the most knowledgeable, radio models the cheapest(online ordering) and Perth hobby and Ryper are also good.

Perth RC is my fav cos they are close, and they are really helpful...I'm quite regular there so Brian and Sam are really good with ordering parts in for me, etc.

rcmart.com have wicked fast shipping! I've never waited for a package to arrive longer than 3 business days with all express options.

I just made an order there on tuesday, and it came about an hour or so ago :) Comes from Hong Kong i think.

Best has to be Perth hobby centre. Every RC guy there is a racer so they know what they're talking about.. Up to 3 of them can be found at bayswater most friday nights.

[anson]

Yep hopefully my RCmart shipment comes tomorrow. 2 MQs require knuckles. The tracking says it up to Auspost no to deliever to me. They have the goods.

i went to perth hobby shop, which eva guy helped me didnt hav a clue about anything i wanted, freaking prat, but i got me a lexus shell :D

[BroG]

Sam at Perth RC is the go.

He helped me when he was at Perth Hobby Supplies, and now works for Brian at Perth RC on Newcastle St.

[Maxd out]

Yep, sammy has a wealth of imformation. ;)

if you want to avoid paying retail prices, send a private message to "Mitchremotes" on this site and ask him for some prices on what you need.

Mitch also shows up to Friday night race meets at the Bayswater track in WA, and sets up a very impressive stall with loads of gear for sale. He has a good reputation and is a very friendly bloke.

Matto.

I think all the WA hobby shops are very good compared to other states Perth is flooded with hobby stores and prices here are a lot better than other states as well!!! !clap !clap !clap

[mitchremotes]

RC-KING, mate what sort of gear are you buying now days.

[opAsx]

id like a good tt-01 kit aswell :)

what sort of prices you looking at mitch?

[davetripoli]

Ryper sell TT01 kits for $180 everyone else has them for a little bit more, but I'm sure rob from PHC can give you a good deal if you ask nice.

[opAsx]

i was being really jewish (surprise surprise) as i can get one delivered from hong kong for $120-130

but locally i would be happy fo a bit more for convenience but not that much more.

[BALISTC]

As of late PHC has really been helpful, and well priced....if I need something quick i always go to Perth RC cos its only 2 mins from my work, but if I know what I'm looking for, I'll visit PHC :)

[opAsx]

i would too, but they are 3 hours away from me (then the return drive home of 3 hours) :P

if they were 20 mins drive i would do that so i could have the toys now. as it is i have to wait 2 or 3 days for things to get to me and its only another 2 days on that for something from hong kong.

i cant wait til i get back to perth damnit

[M.J]

i have a noavk dually dual profile no motor limit for $100 if your interested.

[opAsx]

i already bought one last time you changed your mind :P

[M.J]

yer but i changed it to i wont not sell it !fart

[mitchremotes]

Best R/C shop, well that's a very open question as we all shop at different spots for different reasons, but hey when it comes to bucks who cares where we get the gear as long as we don't get ripped off hey, shop around guys before you spend those hard earned bucks
