    I like Tower Hobbies or the nearest hobby shop.

    One word of advice: Even if you are trying not spend much try not to let that get in the way of durability, stay away from company's like integy for aluminum as their parts are known to be very weak. Go for RPM parts since their strong and wont bend like aluminum and their light too, plus RPM offers a warranty that says if their parts ever break they will replace them for free but I have yet to break one.
    It's a Jeep thing, you wouldn't understand.

    nice, thats what I need. A warranty on parts that break . I was actually asking for places online, coz the hobby shops nearby are a lil expensive than normal.

    Too bad RPM doesn't make bulkheads... I have a pair of rear Integys and they seem to hold up pretty darn good, despite the fact that I put my E-Maxx through "the opposite of heaven"! I can’t seem to find a pair of aluminum fronts though, and I've gone through about 3 sets of stock front bulks, so I guess I can’t really make a valid opinion on Integy Bulks, considering the front ones are usually more vulnerable to abuse.

    I have heard the bulkheads from the new 3.3 T-MAXX will fit our E-MAXXs and they are way more durable. I hope someone confirms me if I am right or corrects me if I am wrong.

    Yes, the 3.3 bulkheads are more durable.

    I find RCboyz and Atomic Hobbies (ebay stores) are very good.

    Tower is great too, but I usually dont order from them unless theres alot, cause they have flat rate shipping.

    RCboyz has very reasonable shipping prices. They are awesome, I probably make an order every other week on average.

    Atomic is good also, they give big discounts on the larger more expensive stuff, but not so much on smaller stuff. However, the shipping is a little higher than most, so its best if you buy at least a good amount from them to save on shipping.

    I order from tower, rc boyz, and Ebay. RC Boyz is cheaper on a lot of the smaller parts than Tower, but larger items such as big bore shocks Tower is one of the cheapest around. I like Tower though because of the ease of website navigation, good customer service, easy online ordering, order tracking and history, wish list, and fast shipping.

    I get a lot of parts from here:
    http://www.hobbyetc.com/cgi-bin/cata...ation_show=all

    I have never had a problem, they are cheap and great service.

    Another good place is:

    http://www.rc-monster.com/proddetail...MS660mg&cat=39

    This link is for my servo (which I love, BTW) LOTS of torque

    These guys are also real good to deal with:

    And finally, if you are looking for springs, these dual rate ones cannot be beat, IMHO:

    ... and yes, I spend WAYYYY to much money on my emaxx
