Smartech
i dont know much about smart tech but if he is opening a hobby store he should go with the best sellers.
the rs4/tmaxx/etc are popular for a reason and that is they sell.
my local hobby shop only sells cars/trucks/buggies....no planes or anything else.
they have a wide selection of hpi/traxxas/hpi and mugen parts and they are doing well.
and as we all have seen here a hobby shop's personal attention to its customers is the most important thing. if they have a guy with attitude watch how quickly some customers find somewhere else to go or buy online.

Smartech
after about a month he is going to start ordering from great planes but to start just smartech and I have told him more than once about the attitude deal and I think he is going to pay attention to it.(I HOPE)In a small town the pesonal touch is key.

RE: Smartech
Your glow plug might have something wrong with it. Thats what happened to my smartech, it kept on heating very, very hot then it just started going at a steady low speed. So you Might have to replace your glow plug if the entire coil doesn't light.
Hope that might help.
Hope that might help.
