never seen this site before, I did a search but it took me to a 6 year old post with no replies [&o]

Is hobby etc a safe place to order from? http://www.hobbyetc.com/index.cgi

Looks fine if you ask me. Phone no.; check. Physical address; check. Logical prices; check. Recently updated; check. Big name brands; check.

Go for it, I would.

Got to agree, if nothing else, give them a call, if they are serious about wanting your business, they will answer most if not all of your questions.

Those guys are decent guys, buy from them with confidence. I live in MA and in my opinion there are really no great hobby stores in eastern mass. so once in a while work takes me to Nashua and I always stop by there. They have a storefront but do most of their business online, they ship a lot of orders out of a small shop. The customer area is about 10 x 10 but they carry a lot of spares and always have good motor/ESC combos, they seem to almost always have spares for most of the 12 cars my son and I have that no one else has locally. Prices are good too, they were $30 less each on the two MMP motor /esc combos I bought recently. Definately a safe bet.

thanks guys.....good to know
