Hi!
Be gentle as this is one of my first posts!
Where is the best place to get parts from? I am currently restoring a Gold Pan A stamp which looks like its fairly complete but I am sure there will be bits I need.
Thankfully I have the tyres as they appear to have gold bullion inside them!

It depends on what parts on what parts you need and how much you know about them and how vintage you need things to be. Some things like bearings , linkage, diff balls, shock springs and screws are not RC 10 specific and may be available from other places.
Some parts are easy to get and even available on RC10.com. I was able to get a shock tower pretty easy.
Some of the o-rings in the original shocks are similar to the o-rings on fuel injectors. Though it may be better to just buy new modern shocks that fit. I am trying to find one myself.
Other parts, may be quite challenging as noted.
Some forum users here have come up with ways of making new parts from broken old ones.
