snoking16

JetEngineMech

I'm about an hour and 10 minutes away. And considering I'm not quite old enough to drive yet, I only get to go about once a month. But when I do go, I stockpile on a bunch of parts so I dont have to worry about not being able to get something.

Its funny, I live in a huge metropolitan area but I dont have an LHS that caters to RC cars within half an hour of here. I have an LHS that deals with airplanes and model trains, so I can get some parts and things there but nothing car specific. Plus if you go in there and mention RC cars they look at you as if you're a complete idiot or something. I pretty much always order online.

Reb2973

About 30 minutes for me..He sells revo's and has an entire back wall of nothing but Integy parts for it!!He does not even really keep stock traxxas parts So I shop online.

tmaxx_man87

about 20 min but nothing but traxxas nitro, no electric and the owner said hes never used after run oil and never heard of an os motor... the next one is almost 2 hours away...

Fiegs

less than 5 minutes
i could walk there but its always like 90 degrees out.

Fiegs

so in other words, the closest hobby shop to you is almost 2 hrs away.

tmaxx_man87

yeah pretty much,and to top it off, hes a jerk, its like he knows he has me by the balls or something.. i would order offline but with my job, i only work 3 days a week so id be missing out on alot of rc time... i would love to open a hs...

arcticcatwill

Mines about an hour away has traxxas and Duratrax cars and parts. nice guy but i wish he was a bit closer. My friends father has been racing T-maxx's for 15 years and has a bunch of parts for the t-maxx. My friend and I both have them so we visit there often as possible. we usually get some pretty decent discounts.

snoking16

i have an RC Hobbies close and they have sooo much stuff. i have never had to go anywhere else except to get a wing and mount. they didnt have that. they sell a ton of electrict and nitro. but mostly all offroad stuff. which is good for me but bad for some other people. they have enough traxxas parts to completely build a revo or tmaxx from scratch. also have RB engines OS engines and Picco engines. what even better is they know what they are doing. they all race and have been into RC for a long time. when i first got my revo i had an air leak and they figured it out in about 5 minutes and didnt even charge me anything.

d3d5

mine is like 30min away. they have parts for traxxas, hpi, and some team losi and other companies. they sell electric and nito have a bunch of different engines but i wish they were within 5min of here

calvino

um, like 4-6 minute car ride, depending on the traffic lights[8D]

jeffmiz

I have about 3 i go to one is a family owned about 10 min away the other is ultimatehobbies and that is the coolest place that place is so big is like shopping in a costco its awesome thats like 20 min away the other is hobby people about 15 min away

So Cal

I have a Hobbypeople about 5mins from my house. They only carry Traxxas Tamiya Associated HPI and IRC. They also have a bunch of plane crap. They carry like 2 brands of nitro fuel and never have the right parts in stock. There is also 2 Hobbytowns with in a 15 minuet drive from my house and a Busy Bee hobbies 20mins away. There is a Pegasus about 30 minuets away and Ultimate Hobbies is a little less than a hour away. So im right in the middle of a bunch....

Maybe 10 minutes in good traffic to RC Hobbies in Tamarac, Florida.. Or maybe 25 minutes to Warick's Super Hobby Shop south of I-595 in Sunirse, Florida...

It's not far, it just getting your parents to drive you that's the problem when you're 16. Need a few more hours and some time to get my license, and I need another thousand dollers to get a nice, used car.
