    Online Retailer for Jato parts?

    Been hunting around for a place to buy all my parts for my jato but still not finding everything online and LHS isn't too too helpful.

    Anyone have any online retailers I could go shop at? I like tower but there is a few things on backorder and just looking to see their competitors and what other shops are out there that people are happy with.

    Let me know where you are shopping other than you LHS

    Well my LHS doesn't stock Jato parts because the truck is so old, but they do get any orders in quite fast.

    I shop on ebay a lot! Its nice getting $15 parts for .99 haha. But I also shop at Horizonhobby.com when ebay doesnt have my parts. Horizon also has quite a bit on backorder, but thats going to be a common problem as the truck is pretty old. Man, I've been waiting for my upgraded chassis for over 3 months (backordered item). it sucks, i know.

    I know i live in canada so i dont realoy know exactly how it is in the states but I'd say eBay their cool BC they got add one and aftermarket stuff as well. I remember a number of times guys having trouble with part availability etc etc.....I guess I'm fortunat having 6 LHS`s within 20min of me and between them have every stock/upgraded part available for the jato besides a hand full, which are available on eBay anyway.

    Is the Jato 3.3 really that old? I remember when I bought my first 3.3 Jato back in like 2007-08 but still it isn't that old. What are the more modern buggy/trucks? Is the tmaxx more up to date?

    LHS is good for me (I'm also in Canada) other then that eBay is good, RC Planet has stock Jato Parts, A Main Hobbies & Tower Hobbies also cary stuff.

    All you need to do is Google the part number, then you should find a spot to order from, usually for me the search leads to one if the previously mentioned sites.

    I like the LHS cause the mark up is not bad at my LHS, they order Monday and receive on Friday no shipping fees.

    Not sure cause I have not done it but order HERE through the "Products" tab. I've ordered stuff directly from HPI, but not yet from Traxxas.

    The Jato 3.3 was released in 2006. Thats quite an older truck to me, though I still love it. All the LHS I've been to say that noone is really interested in the Jato anymore. The big thing these days is the Revo 3.3, which came out in 2008 and then again with some upgrades in 2009. There are actually quite a few popular trucks out at the moment. I'm going to get a Revo 3.3 soon for myself and a nitro sport for my son's first car.

They have all the manufacturers, hot racing, stock stuff and aftermarket like rpm. I only order from them now. Orders are filled same day Tuesday through Saturday and shipped same day. I get my orders in 2 days here in MD.
