Default Worthwhile R/C (Electric) shops locally?

I have a 1/10 scale Traxxas GraveDigger that i'm putting together when i get home from deployment and was wondering what shop everyone uses now in the 757 area?

I already got a Mamba max pro ESC +3800kv motor and some other aluminum upgrades...

You can leave it with me. I used to go all over the country racing these in highschool. Well not Traxxis but the Associated TC3 and a few others. I also worked at Hobby Hanger in Chantilly for 4 years doing this stuff everyday.

They haven't changed much on the Stampede (chassis on that GraveDigger). I still remember that one like the back of my hand. I use to work on customers Traxxis vehicles all the time. They sold well as good beginner cars.

I'd put the brushless system in it and be happy! I'm positive you won't wanna keep it a stampede for long, these trucks are the same as the bandit, rustler and slash. the only difference being chassis and width of a-arms.
I'd also stay away from the aluminum 99% is brittle cast crap, if it doesn't break it bends. Plus the weight added just sucks all around..
