All is true to some point. I guess it depends on your local hobbyshop because some will refuse to order unless it comes from Horizon or Great Planes. Alot of companies sell to the public outright, some use a distributor, and some actually do both like lets say Custom Works and Trinity.
Not everyone has access to a great hobbyshop either. I'm fortunate my shop owner will order from anyplace if I need something because he has know me for years and if I order something special I will pay for it whether I still need it or not.
IMO great hobbyshops are hard to find. We have lots of franchise shops but that don't mean they are good and to be honest I find most of the franchise places don't have people that know about alot of the hobbies they sell.

The RTR cars have been the life and death of this hooby as we know it
Truly a scary time for the true hobbiest & racer!

Yes but i would think that getting more hobby shops to support your product is the name of the game unless schuie is planing on opening tracks for every racer making hobby shops mad is not good practice.the best way to handle it is to ask for there local hobby shop an get in contact with them to try an sell them your product. With the same support to them as u would to a person who calls. this is not to bash you but some hobby shops will lose faith in manufactures when they under cut them

Yes the first and so far only thing i have gotten from randy is 2 practice packs directly that he had left over. And because he was honest an said they were practice only not good enough to push on a shop i took them as they were. Lately i have started running bl and lipo. But have i been in my Lhs asking them to stock Randy's stuff your answer is yes also. please dont try to make me look like I'm wrong here. I'm stating a very good suggestion that you are foolish to disagree with i said to maybe ask to contact the LHS to promote the product

thanks guys im saving for an mi3 as my ec is reaching the end of its life ie everything that isnt aluminium needs re placeing ie lower deck top deck rear shock tower, ball cups steering linkages and need a spool. so probably better off with a new mi3 lol budget racing sucks

Josh the setup I have for Logan should be good - either at Logan or at Sunshine Coast as a starting point. You can get it here. I would definitely stick with the spool when you first start running stock.
I will be at the Sunshine Coast on the Sunday of racing and happy to take a look at your car with you.

Does anyone have a link to photo's of their Mi3 with the extra mounting hole for the aerial, one where they have added the mount behind the servo instead of in front.
I have tried searching this forum but couldn't find it.
Thanks

I figured they were different, theres a box in the backroom but i'm not sure if theres any left for the 3? that seems to be whhat everyone uses these days, more than likely because they work lol. Who's heading to Superior on Labor Day weekend?
