Good place, I'd say Atomicmods.com or eBay. Prices vary.

I just saw a thread about hotracing parts or something, you can check them out. Just type 'hotracing xmods' into google. Pictures didn't work for me but they have a lot of parts.

I am so mad I bought the EVO truck AWD kit. I can't cancel it as it's too late. It's probably half way here by now. I wonder if I go to RS and ask if I can order it cause it says it's in store only. I'm gonna call them tomorrow.

Let me help since I work at RS. We discontinued all parts back in January. Everything was clearanced out, if they are in stock an AWD kit is $12.38 right now, but call in with the sku, and ask them to do a regional search. If another store has it, they can ICST it to the closest store to you.

Not really these days. Some RSs don't have any, seeing as they're discontinued for awhile now.
