I was looking at parts on ebay and their seems to be quite a few online.
You are right, but it is nice to have a local shop so you don't have to wait for shipping. I haven't looked at the MMT, but I bet there are more mods for traxxas/hpi/associated.
Well pulled the trigger and now I own a XTM Monster MT. Man this thing dwarfs the MGT we have at the shop. My Neu 1521 and HV110 should do wonders to this truck with 8S and 10S lipo....
