Isn't Traxxas competing against my local hobby shop for their parts sales?

Absolutely not! For over 16 years, Traxxas has offered sales of parts by phone for those customers who do not have the benefit of a local hobby shop to service their needs. BuyTraxxas.com is designed to compliment the entire parts support system for Traxxas products.

Its purpose is to meet the needs of consumers that have shifted or compressed time schedules, live in remote areas, or customers who are not able to call us during normal business hours. Consumers who can be serviced by a local hobby shop are encouraged to purchase their parts from their local dealer. BuyTraxxas.com charges full retail price for all parts, plus shipping and handling charges.

Standard delivery time is approximately 2-weeks. Overnight delivery is a minimum of $25.00 U.S. Buying from your local shop puts the parts in your hand immediately (same day service!) with no extra shipping charges. If you have a hobby shop nearby, we ask that you support them.

This helps to assure that they'll be there to support ... more.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
