Welcome Ryan. You can find lots of aftermarket stuff on ebay, and from hobby shops such as megahobby. There are guys that make resin parts in their homes in their free time, but be careful buying from them. Some guys are great, and some will take your money and never send your parts! Scratchbuilding is always an option. Hobby shops sell plastic strips, sheets and rods of various sizes which you can use to make your own parts.

Welcome Ryan, glad to have you on board. What kind of parts are you looking for specifically? most of us that have been building for a long time have amassed a large pool of spare parts to pull from . In the old days kits came with a lot of extra/custom parts, these days extra parts are usually just a different set of rims and one or two other items. So I guess what I am trying to say is if you know what parts you are looking for we can more than likely be able to tell you where to find them. Also there are some very good tutorials on how to scratchbuild items that you would find on a off road vehicle ,again we can probably tell you where to find it. just ask .
