Hi
Does anybody know any good UK online retailers of hop-ups suitable for
Tamiya gear.
I am a beginner to the hobby and am trying to take in as much advice as
possible.
This is my first buggy, it is a Tamiya Baja Champ, I've been told that
ballraced bearings and better shocks may be beneficial.
My local model shop (22 miles) is limited in knowledge and stock, so mail
order is my best bet.
I've tried the Tamiya (USA) website, but can't find much of relevance.

TIA

Andy
