Hobao Hyper TT parts

One thing I'm getting to learn quickly is where to get parts for the Hyper TT.  My local hobby stores don't carry Hobao parts, so I'm reliant on the internet to get stuff.

Current sources for Hobao Hyper TT parts:
  • Hobao eShop - this is Hobao's online store where you can get parts.  They have everything in stock, but the downside is that the stuff ships from Taiwan.  Shipping is crazy cheap though, I think I ordered 10 parts and shipping was fixed at $6.  In California, parts take about 8 days to get here, which is the main downside.
  • Tower Hobbies - they are starting to carry the basics, like A-arms, shock towers, and steering knuckles.  Selection is very limited though.
  • Nitrohouse - they are/were Ofna themselves, and they still carry a good amount of parts.  They're located in Southern California, and are probably the quickest source for stuff Tower doesn't carry.
  • STRC - they used to make a bunch of Hyper TT hop-up parts, but most of them are discontinued.  As of the time of this writing, they still had some good stuff like hardened driveshafts and some aluminum parts.
  • Integy - this is the place to get aluminum steering knuckles, rear hub carriers, basically anything you want to upgrade to aluminum.  I think they are still producing their full line of Hyper TT parts.  Make sure you stick with the billet aluminum stuff;  the cast aluminum parts are very weak.
Note that most Hyper 10SC and mini-ST parts also fit the Hyper TT, so oftentimes the same parts is listed as being for those vehicles.
