Has anyone ever ordered anything from PodiumRC? (its an overseas website) On their website they have the rear suspension mounts that I am looking for, but kinda pricey. If anyone has had any dealings with them and could possibly shed some light for me that would be great.

I have ordered from them at least once. They are not necessarily fast and list parts supposedly in their distributors warehouse as available. I got a pretty big or should I say pricey item from them and it took 3 to 4 weeks but I got it.
Another order is still not completed but it will be worth it if I get it. Shipping from UK and maybe mostly just Podium is really expensive because the cost of a pound is almost $2.00.
If its a small order I think you'd be better off asking in BST if anybody has it or knows where to get. You would be surprised by what I see gets found there its really cool. Just my .02

PodiumRC works "differently" to other shops. They don't carry any stock and rely on being supplied quickly by the distributors. Be aware that their lists aren't an actual stock list, just parts lists from the distributors, so the parts can also be ordered from any UK hobby shop.

The parts being listed does not guarantee they can get them either, while searching for parts to restore an LXT I found they klisted some spares I needed, although contacting the actual distributor myself I found most of the parts on their list weren't available, but others were, including a body .

Most of the hard to find parts that they have listed are not actually available. Like Terry said, it is just a list from the distributor and that list has likely been in service for quite some time, which equates to the parts being long gone.

The part I got was a new rc10l graphite chassis because I watched for a long time and never saw one come up on Ebay or on any other site inb US.
I did see one on the bay but the guy ended the auction early and I did'nt get a chance to bid and I would have bought it at any price.
But Podium was the only place that it showed up except Kev's Racing bits but thats another story so I emailed them about available and some one responded after a lengthy wait maybe 2 or 3 weeks that there was one at the distributor.
I put the order in and I got it in about 2 and 1/2 weeks plus some other parts but some were backordered and eventually they refunded the money for those parts that I didn't get.

Thanks for the heads up guys, I dont have access to bst yet, so I will have to keep my eyes open on Ebay for now.

They sourced me a set of NDS decals for the mercedes, which were not available anywhere and turned up in a week?
Do you want me to order from UK and see if it turns up, then forward it on?
