So I thought it would be a good idea to keep a running list of known good websites to buy RC items from. Most of us all the big ones but new folks might not. Plus I want to add little known and ebay sellers that are know to have good prices and customer service. I'm gonna start off the list with all the ones I know and as people reply with ones they know we'll add them to the list. Please only list places that you have first hand experience with and likewise if you've had a really bad experience with a place let us know that too. If enough people have bad experiences with a site we'll remove it from the list.

Someone may want to sticky this if you guys think this is a worthy endeavor.
@WoodiE I'm not sure if this is the best forum for this post...if you think it would go better somewhere else feel free to move it.

You might add http://www.rcmart.com/ to the list. Also known as Dinball on eBay.

I have shopped at RC Mushroom and they are OK to deal with, but sometimes a bit higher on price.

Do you have personal shooping experience with RCMart? You said I "might" want to add them which would seem to indicate you know of them but maybe havent shopped there personally.

This list has nothing to do with price, I'm just trying to gather as many different sites as possible so people have options, especially when trying to find parts that may be hard to find.
 
davesmotors is a good site with great service.

www.tgndistributing.com is also a good site with great service.

I have made several purchases from RCMart directly, as well as from their eBay store Dinball an they are excellent to deal with. My items take about two weeks to arrive and require a signature, but I have never had to pay taxes or duty. Some items include free shipping and they often have promotions where they include free bonus items.

I have also purchased direct from AsiaTees and Spec-R all with excellent results.
 
I have made several purchases with rcplanet, good prices and fast shipping!
 
Tony's Screws - www.tonysscrews.com
Also www.hexcrews.com for RC screw needs.
I've had no issues with either.
Can't leave off my favorite hold on to your wallet website. www.vanquishproducts.com

Hard to take the list seriously as long as intecrap is on there. LOL
LOL I know what you mean thats why I had to put a comment next to it cuz I wasn't basing the list on whether their parts were good just that they were a company that could be trusted not to rip you off and that takes care of its customers in the event they have an issue.

http://www.overdriverc.com Good site, home of the one and only Bad Ass Creations HD steering link for the LST

You can't forget TBR bumpers, T-Bone Racing, they're the best bumpers available. I also recommend RC Raven, their dual rate springs for the LST are great. Bad Horsie makes some nice shock socks, if you want to dress your kit up a little bit. Their Diff Lock is great for putting a stop to the side to side wheelie wobble, I've used it in my Rusty and Jato and I was pleased with the results
