It has been mentioned but Randy's is at 249 & grant. If your coming from 290 and 1960 take 1960 to 249 then go left(north) exit grant/schroeder and you will see it on the corner in front of you. Its in the same parking lot as oreillys.
If coming from 45 & 1960 go west on 1960 to 249 then go right(north) and do the same as above.

281-469-7000 randy's hobby shop

Whats the story with the Datsun in your avatar? Do you have a Z?

Ahh so you have to go north ?
I was driving up and down 1960 ... -_-
Have to check it out. again...

The Old Fairlady Datsun Z is my Dream car hahaha.
My Brother is restoring one, and its a beauty to look at.
But i don't think his will ever go anywhere w/o enough funds for his hobby. LOL The car's look grew on me i guess.

Larry's is hit and miss. I have seen them tell a kid that his spur stripped because his truck was a pos. The guy might have been 14 and his mom just shook her head and walked out. I followed suit promptly. I only go there if i am desperate. I need to buy some odonnell fuel today so i was going to go there. Is there anywhere is houston that sells odonnell? I am coming from brenham

That'd be him.

Well Atomic Mods is near 290 and 610, but I believe they are only an internet based shop.

Personally, I drive down to RC Hobbyshop ( www.rchobbyshop.com ) to get my stuff. They are friendly and usually have what I am looking for. Only downside....long lines because of lots of customers in the store.
