Contacting Ace Hobby
Wow dude, I feel your pain. Nothing worse than a busted RC car and a hobby shop dikkin ya around.
I went to the one close to me (25 miles close) and the dude behind the car counter was a total *****. Every customer that asked him something, he replied "And your asking me this...WHY?"
How about cause your fat ***** is behind the counter twinky boy!
He seriously had a terrible attitude. Needless to say I bought nothing from him. Real shame, since I needed some stuff and I was in there to make a purchase...
