If an FMS replacement was to open...

[nonamekid]

I have been toying with an idea lately and wanted to get some input from some of the members. If there was to be a replacement to FMS, what would you guys like to see in regards to what the store would carry? Just aftermarket and performance, or also standard replacement parts that you can get at Rockauto and numerous other outlets?

I don't want to use this thread to bash FMS: Roger provided a great service while he was in business. The largest detriment to the business was communication, of which I am aware. A function website with the ability to order online and ask questions by email is important.

Let me know your thoughts.

Just for a little teaser: got these in yesterday:

I would say performance and oem parts which can't be bought from your Mc auto parts

X2.

I have a few ideas I could bounce off ya. PM if interested

I fully support this RTR swap kits would be nice. Junkyarding is fun, but one stop shopping would be awesome

RTR swap? Can you enlighten me on this? Not used to the abbreviation RTR.

READY TO RUN its a very popular term in the Remote Control scene

I'd support it both vocally as well as financially depending on your inventory.

It would be awesome! Maybe have some junspeed stuff on there? Possibly some swap stuff too?

I bought lots of stuff from FMS over the years, included three new 1.3 engines which are still running great.
Communications was an issue occasionally, but never a deal breaker.
It would be nice to have that type of source again.

[Festiva_Fred]

I think it would be great

[bobbyspider]

bp mounts, b6t mounts, bolt on turbo kits for b3, coilover setups with proper spring rates, racks for mounting seats, cams, roof racks, pre cut tint, headers/exhaust, plug n play ecu's with different tunes, fender flares... just to name a few things

[navdoc101]

Great idea.
Performance , OEM & Aftermarket upgrades.
Junspeeds stuff is great , but shipping time is long.

I think that would be really cool I have wanted to do this for some time now but I don't have a garage or money to have any kind of inventory. I would love to see this done.
I think replacement parts that one could buy for any were would be hard to sale. But say you were to get some escort gt master cylinders and then plug the bottom so there ready to go I think this would sale.
Also I would love to see some custom body kits I have some side skirts I would love to copy but I really don't know how to make a mold. Fiberglass hoods, hatches, and finder flairs
Possibly do some hood gas strut kits.
Tail light gaskets, open grills. I would love to see a weld together roll bar kit with door bars. I know some of this stuff isn't feasible but just some ideas. Possibly a hub rebuild service.

New rebuilt engines?

[bhazard]

The way I see it, we already have these services, provided by a few people in the scene.

Fancy body parts from the Philippines.

Fancy engine parts from Dickmeyer.
