Not much, so I just buy fuel from them. I tend to buy over the internet.
It’s a two way thing, they treat me well, I use them.
I just get this feeling that my LHS is taking the mickey.

Free engine break ins, free jeep body with a savage, help for free, discounts, racers are there alot because of the track and you can get a lot of usefull info from them. Adam Drake is coming there soon, too. Wheels Wings and Hobbies is the highest rated LHS in the tristate area. Us North Dakotans are lucky

my old lhs was great. if i couldn't find a part then they would order it and give it to me for free or modify another brand to fit. but the owner retired and the new one is rubbish. didn't even know if the tyres i wanted would fit my truck

My LHS is the pits Hobbie Town USA. The only thing I buy there is fuel and body paint. There is no such thing as customer service or help and most of the help know nothing about anything in the shop.
Hobby Town USA in Macon, GA SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!

yeah my LHS is pretty bad too
they are mainly into nitro and airplains even though they carry electrics
they just never have what I'm looking for and are very expensive
My othe LHS is farther but they are great the service sumtimes is not very good but its mainly because they are very buisy all the time
I bought the Billit kit for my RC18T there for $160 canadian +tax (its like $150 US online)
There are also some other places around but I have yet too go to them but I hear great things about them

I wish i got free stuff and all the help you guys get from yours

My LHS wanst so great at one time. they tried to sell me a car they said was an rtr and I opened the box and I see it is only a rolling chassis. They tried to sell me small model paints instead of lexan body paints. They tried to sell me an electric evader even though I told them I was lookin for a nitro. So many complaints were made by customers that the place is under new management. I was so hapy to see the sign "under new management" i bought a lot of stuff that day, like $200 worth of stuff

I'd like to know what kind of car you drive please? You're approaching the sound barrier.
