big block is the way to go in rc.. especially if you want big power and long run times.. they dont overheat as much as a small block and the lifespan is alot longer i think..

Your welcome.. He is such a nice guy. his store is about 45 minutes from me (I pass about 5 other hobby shops to get to him.) He literally has just about every r/c there is in his store.

As soon as you walk into his store your jaw will it the floor. IMO he should definitely should be selling online

Default lucky

I gave the guy a call to see if he had more than 1 for sale and the answer was no as I had anticipated. Your a lucky guy Florida I also have looked for that same one since it was discontinued. Congrats to you. I'll probably pick one up on here or eBay and restore it back to as close to original as possible.

I know this place, its been a few years since I've stopped in there though. Last time I was there he didn't have too much rc, mostly the front corner by the register. The rest of the place was stacked floor to ceiling with static models. I had to get out of there once I saw all the Tamiya static kits! But I should stop in there again. If I had I might have ended up with the XXL instead of Gville!

My go to is Action Hobbies though. Good people, good prices, etc. I definitely know what you mean about passing up other shops to get to another though. These two are the only ones that will get my money.
