They have everything to build a combat robot, just be wary of shipping costs and import duties on your parts.

A smaller very of the RMP, less variety, but they sell a massive selection of gearboxes and motors that seems to have hit the US bot community like a storm. Be wary of shipping and import taxes though...

A US Hobby store that sells everything you need RC and charger wise. Cheap FM radio solutions to the fully blow PCM and Nomadio Spektrum solutions. There selection of chargers is worth looking at too! Join there mailing lists and you'll recieve plenty of $10/20/30/40 price reduction offers on your orders. Being US, watch the import taxes and shipping costs...
UK Based

Just like the RMP, they have everything you need.. A good selection of pneumatic parts as well.. Once again, be wary of currency exchange and shipping costs. - [color=yellow][It has been brought to my attention that Technobots no longer ships outside the UK... I'll leave this link here just incase][/color]
