  in Sydney eh? There’s two hobby shops in the city that stocked motors, gears and other bits ‘n bobs… one in Chinatown, one under the QVB. I think it’s called Modeller’s World (it’s been quite a qhile since i went, hence not remembering the name…) What you after anyway? I’ve got tyres (treaded and slick), motors (1.0 – 4.2), gear sets, suspension sets which i might be persuaded to part with…:smiley2:

  500 George Street… oposite the QVB. Go down the escalators and turn right. Hang a right again at the cafe and it”s the 3rd or 4th shop on your right. They mainly carry model stuff (hence the name),but there is a range of BCG and SBCG and parts. Or Aaron of course is another option…

  Bit Char-G production is no more . Whatever is left is all there is. There are a lot
  
  of differentsites selling what””s left. eBay is an excellent place to get Micro stuff. Bit Char-G
  
  parts are scarce but MicroSizer hop-up & maintennance kits are plentiful and real cheap.
  
  Tower Hobbies is clearing all their MS cars and parts:
  
  http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/WTI0095P?FVSEARCH=microsizers&FVPROFIL=++&search3=Go
  
  They””re selling MS Speed sets (cars with no tx) for $2.50US (I cleaned up )
  
  Toys-R-Us here in the US cleared out all hop-up, tune-up, maintennance, wheel & gear, tyre & body kits for $0.89 US.( I cleaned up here also)
  
  TE has also restocked with MicroSizers & have leftover Bit Char-G / Perfection stock :
