THe hobby shop nearest to me (15 min dive) IS very very good, and when i started out the guy who works there help me, and he still does if theres somthing i cant figure out. There are about 2 other hobby shop within a 30 min driver for me,one is brand new, and i havent gone there yet, and the other hobby shop the guy who works there is such a POS that i will never go there again hint hint hobby nut
