The best price for a kh?

[REV73]

I agree Mario, but at the end of the day with the way prices are on the staples we all need, most people myself included have to keep as much of the green in their jeans as possible and for me that means a fair bit of internet and ebay shopping when it comes to supporting my RC habit. I bought my KH from Tower Hobbies and saved a ton of money even with the added cost of shipping. And if you check the site, they often have discounts on shipping which helps even more.

I know I sound like I'm defending local hobby shops. This all goes way beyond hobby shops. I always try to support local buisness whenever possible. Besides I hate buying something and having to wait weeks for it to arrive

Oh, and by the way. The only hobby shop for me is a 3 hr drive one way and its mostly trains and materials, no RC.
Absolutely everything I have was purchased online. I've been dealing with tower hobbies since the start of our collection. I joined the membership and get great savings. A few months ago due to membership and the shipping promo they had at the time knocked almost 75 bucks off the price. The membership fee has paid for itself already within less than a year.

That's like me. The nearest hobby shop is an hour away and they don't even sell Tamiya stuff so I order all of my stuff online or from somebody on the forum

Same situation I'm in, I do buy styrene, glues and some driveline parts, They carry Traxxas which make great drive shaft parts. I love looking for LHS when I'm traveling it neat to see who's doing what! That being said I buy the big ticket Items from tower and any state side online company that has what I need at the price I want to pay. Just like the other thread about the radios (airtronics rds8000) Tower's price $219.00 plus shipping, Hobbypeople's price shipped to my door 189.00, it a no brainer where I got it.
As far as best price for a kh, check out Ultimate Hobbies http://www.ultimatehobbies.com/store...ING+HAULER+KIT

I read about them a year or so ago I believe on this forum. If I remember they have a brick and mortar in California. I thought I made a mistake 2 days after I ordered 2 trailers from them and got a phone call from a guy who's name was Kevin, I believe, he said they didn't have 2 in stock, but their web site excepted my order and my money! He asked if I wanted 1 trailer and my money back for the other trailer, I told him that I really needed both so he called tamiya USA and they didn't have them available, then tried one of the hobby suppliers they use and called me back and told me he could get them for me, I asked if he could drop ship them to me, I got them the next day same price! Bottom line good price and great customer service!
