I guess you are in luck... eventually.
 
There will be a new Hobby/Race Track Shop opening soon in the Maitland area at 17-92. I have gone by a few times and they just started building the place. I guess it will be up and ready in about a month or two, but I guess it is worth the wait! :)

*brings back kinda old topic*

i live in florida, south florida.. you can see RC Hobbies, the biggest RC Shop (not only cars...) in south florida.. I got my TC3 there and their support is AMAZING! They also have many offroad cars, not too many onroad, and ALOT of parts!!!!! too many bodies, also! theres like 3 whole shelves (they go across half the store) and.. lol :) Only $20 for all of them.. better than some of those $25 and more prices lol..

well yeah, RC Hobbies is great and then a track is right near one of the schools near me near RC Hobbies lol. Its got groups for novices, ametures, and all the differenct ones and stuffs lol :)


R. C. HOBBIES, the largest discount hobby shop in South Florida

I cant compare it to other hobby shops...but I believe its bigger than most. It has lots of stuff...any part broken on my TC3..they always have them in stock. Superior has a knoledgable and friendly staff too. They have had ads in RCCA a few times.

There is a track in seffner and a track in dover. The one in seffner is nitro only, and the one in dover is night racing until 11pm. If you go to hobbytown they will tell you were there are some close tracks.

I am here in Orlando FL and our scene here is amazing!

I run an NTC3 and a RC10GT, also a Storm Pro.

Every thursday night we have a meet were we set up cones in a parking lot - about 20 nitro cars will show up - its a blast!

Once a month - Superior hobbies sets up a great track and holds sanctioned races!

Every thursday for the electric folks - TQ hobbies has a permanent on road track.

Every Sunday we also get together at the largest offroad track in the southeast US here in Osceola County and have races.
