Question Associated Parts !!!

Whats the best websites to order Associated Parts from (B4/B44) as most places ive looked at only have certain things in stock so im having to order from more than 1 site to get my parts and would rather order from the 1 site to save on postage...........!!!

cheers

+1 for JE Spares ... never let me down.

It is worth ringing rather than trusting the online stock checkers though as the large shops have a rapid turn over of spares so it is almost impossible to keep them fully "live".
For example I have spoken to the JE crew on days when a delivery has come in and litterally everything in it has been sold before close of business so it's not made it on to the site.
Equally they get several deliveries per week from the likes of Kyosho, Schumacher etc. so the chances of them actually being "out of stock" for more than a day or 2 is minimal anyway, longest I've had to wait was till the next delivery so about 2 days.

Might try phoning JE spares and other places up instead of just relying on the websites, as youve said the sites arnt always updated, tried wheelspin models for an order after 3 days they emailed to say my order was being split as they were waiting on some parts which was fair enough but 1st order arrived 8 days later , emailed them to say that i was missing a shock shaft as there was only 1 in the sealed packet but didnt get a reply (never phoned up to complain, my fault!!!) then 2nd order took 15 days to arrive.........WTF !!!

Theyve normally been pretty good for parts and fast delivery but now dont think i will be using them again in a hurry

I bought 2 packs from them 1 pack had 2 shafts in and the other pack only had 1 shaft in, both packets were slightly different, as the labels were different and 1 bag was bigger than the other...............
