Unfortunately 2-3 weeks is pretty normal if it's coming from Hong Kong. If you're interested I can can link you to a coupla state side sellers that I like alot.

ya if you live in the states there are a lot more and better options than over seas. Some of the places i have used i have gotton to know the owner or people that work there via phone calls and they have been a great help on what to get and what i realy need.

I'm in Texas. If you have any recommendations for places to get parts I'm all ears! Still haven't received my shafts.

These are guys I have bought from several times. They're state side. The prices are reasonable and their shipping is very fast. In fact I placed my last order with USHobby last Friday and I got it in the mail on Monday. It doesn't get any quicker than that!
Great guy, really fast shipping! Full line of Belt parts

Not a lot of Esky, but full range of everything else -

Limited selection of Belt parts but selection is growing. Don't let the eBay address turn you off, he's a great guy, he will email you about your order immediately and even though he's in Canada he's got about the best shipping prices anywhere -
