    In need of a part for a RC boat

    Just seeing if anyone out there can help me with this. I have a Traxxas Villain EX and the upper deck flew off while going down the lake. Now the boat is discontinued and noone has the part in stock. Anyone know where I might be able to get one? I have checked Ebay and the only thing there are whole boats. I really don't want to spend $200 to get a $20 part. I called Traxxas and they mentioned checking some forums but I don't know any. Any help would be very much appreciated.

    Here is the boat. The part number is 1513R

    RCtech.net, Hobbytalk.com, rcuniverse.com are just a few that have swap and sell sections. Ive raced RC Cars for 20+ years so I visit a few of those sites from time to time. Never messed around with boats though.

    Thank you for the forums. I found Phil's also but when you click on the actual product it says he is out of stock. I have called all the online retailers I could find and noone had one. Ebay, C/L or one of the forums is probably my only place to find one. Thanks again for all the help.

    Have you tried towerhobbies.com? Traxxas also as a good forum.
