There are items I can get cheaper at tower with my discount than from Mike, but I would rather support Mike.
Tower has good service, but they won't bend over backwards for you like Mike and many others.

Like I said, I've purchased from RCP and RPP before and had no complaints.
I can buy a SCX10 at almost any dealer. What do I get for my extra $20? If there's a problem with the kit, I'd call Axial, not the dealer. Besides, most of us on this forum are intelligent enough to search online and find the answer than to depend on them for an answer.
Places like RCP, RPP and here at RC-Monster sell parts not available anywhere else and that's where I buy those parts.
FWIW, just a comparison...in 2008 and so far in 2009 I've spent:
Tower Hobbies $1256
Colonial Photo & Hobby (My LHS) $3053
Just shows you I do support the little guy...maybe not the little guy you'd like me to throw my money at, but they're still a small business...no online sales and just a single shop. So, if you're going to get pissy about someone ordering from Tower, you're barking up the wrong tree with me.
