Default RE: Kit friendly hobby shop

Rcpilet,

Yeah, I go to Action R/C quite a bit too. I got a great deal on some servos Glen no longer wanted on his shelf about a year ago--20% off his regular price. It seems like just about every ARF you can imagine is in that shop. Kind of funny that Action R/C and Thompson's are within about 1/2 mile of each other.

My favorite hobby shop of all time no longer is in business. Front Range Hobbies was in south Lakewood. That place was the best. I would go there just to BS and hang out with my buddies and I'd usually end up buying something. After they went out of business, the shop became a hair salon and I remember one guy lamenting the fact that now it would be full of old ladies clucking and squawking. I pointed out that it wouldn't really be any different, that the only real change in that regard would be the gender of the cluckers and squawkers but the irony was lost on him.
