I get most of mine (the expensive ones) from Tower Hobbies. Best service and alot cheaper than buying them in Australia

I buy at A Main Hobbies and my two other local hobby shops...but for me A Main is local!

Kaos, did you know that Kendall Bennett, the owner of A Main is from Australia?

There really isnt that much to look at...they do 95% (or more?) of their business online, so they dont have a 'storefront' with products displayed like most others. The local customers set up accounts, fill out an order and click on store pickup at the end of the order so the guys at the shop can have the order ready to go for you when you walk through the door...of the shiping room. General public isnt allowed in the stock room (but Ive been in there).

But I do get to BS with Kendall and the rest of the guys in there...most of whom race (Brandon Steinle 1st place, RD1 RCPRO WEST sportsman class)so its a killer place to pick up advice on whats hot and whats not....so I guess I am pretty lucky in that respect.

They will soon be moving to a new 2 story 9000sqft building so they can carry more products and there are rumors localy about a indoor onroad carpet track, out door offroad and a host of other things...well see what happens, but it is pretty exiting.

I also got invited to Kendalls wedding...I wonder if any big name sponsored drivers will be there....Ill report back after the wedding.

No, just checked out their site and they are cheaper than Tower Hobbies. Might have to look into that

I've purchased a lot on Ebay too. Our hobby shops are okay, most will get what you want in at a decent price but really doesn't have much in stock. One major one here never has what you want and it's usually over priced....(is that possible?) :shock:
