Unless you stock up on parts

I am working on a rig to fix the whole parts bin problem. I'm getting ready to start buying parts but in time the parts will be on the walls. For Rick, not A SC10 4x4,the ONLY one until they come off backorder.

We ALL know that no one at HT really knows what they are talking about.

It sounded good at the time and we got it working till the heat shrink broke and they don't give you what you need to hold it in

Default hobby shop
While I respect everyone's right to buy there stuff wherever they see fit, I like having local hobby shops. To that end, if my local hobby shop has what I want on the shelf, I will buy it from them. Understandable, there are some items not stocked that make mail order necessary, I get that. Sometimes in order to have enough items to get free shipping, I will buy stuff mail order that the shops stock. My shops can fix that and provide 100% of my rc goodies by very simply stocking what I buy. I have to say Performance is doing a pretty good job of getting my business...accept for those dang Losi SCT wheels. I wish Losi still owned Losi. He must have anxiety attacks thinking of what Horizon has done to his beloved company.
