Hey,all you RCrs in the southwest valley,Goodyear, Avondale, Litchfield Park,Tolleson,and Buckeye.
Do we need a local hobby shop or what ?
I live in Buckeye and have to drive 40+ miles one-way to the closest shop.
I do allot of my shopping online, but I would like to see a shop closer to home so I can browse.
Lets all contact the vendors we use,and let them know that we exist.
HobbyPeople,HobbyLobby, any of these places that have retail stores.
Post your thoughts and ideas.

well, over hear in mesa we have a few, i dont know if these are the ones youre talking about. weve got hobby town on gilbert and baseline, viper hobbies on greenfield and university (which i hope to aquire a job at soon), and d&d hobbies but i forget the cross streets right now. for cars hobby town and viper are better as d&d is mostly aircraft. i also know of a few in phoenix and tempe, but ive never had to go out to the westvalley where you are so i dont know what hobby shops are over there

Compass,

Check this thread I started a few days ago. I am trying to get something going over here, but need to find a pad to lease. The prices out here because of the growth are outragous. I also live in Buckeye. Do you race?

No I don't race. I fly planes.
I posted this here and also in the flying areas.
If you are trying to open a shop please include plane accessories also.
I need somewhere I can at least get fuel and props.
I can beleive there is nothing on this side of town.
I know at least 15 fliers and also several people that run cars and trucks.
I'm sure there are plenty of people to support a rc shop.
There are also the people that might start the hobby but don't have any where to go shop,and get one on one answers.
