Hi everyone.
First off thanks for having me.
Just recently picked up the hobby again and finding it hard to find the appropriate place for tips tricks builds and more.
Is RC10 dedicated to a specific group/brand/type?
I’ve just bought a Traxxas Tmax 3.3 also have a Revo
Any advice on where best to find parts would be appreciated as my first outing my bro smashed into me 5 mins in, grenaded the clutch and tore up the spur wheel.
Regards
Gab

Welcome. RC10 is specifically the Team Associated RC10 platform and it's derivative models, but there are sub sections with quite a few other brands and models in this forum. There is a Traxxas section, for instance.
amainhobbies.com is one of my preferred places to get new parts. The only issue I've had with them is if something is backordered, it gets assigned to a specific warehouse and waits for that warehouse to have it back in stock.

Welcome
This form welcomes all types, not just rc10’s. There are specific topics for each brand.
The best place to find parts is a local hobby shop. Hopefully the folks behind the counter can help you if you bring in tour truck to look at.
Traxxas parts are the easiest to find. Online I have been liking beachrc.com.

Indeed, please try use your local hobby shop as much as possible if you have any within a reasonable vicinity. Welcome aboard.

I mean a LHS is so awesome since they can help you find issues you didn't know you had and suggest substitute parts from a different car that can still work. There is also the added factor of immediately getting parts.

This.
If nothing else, I try to get many of my painting supplies there, as well as other generic items.
