Hobbytown??? I Don't think so. I went in there the other week he had no stock at all. About 5 190mm bodies no decent tires no rims nothing. If you get them to order anything it takes forever to arrive and the prices are ridiculous. There are a number of other hobby shops you can buy from.

If you just want to order things online at good prices, then you can always try www.rcgear.com.au. I know that this is a 'bricks and mortar' shop as well as an online shop.

Not about being biased it's telling it how it is.

Graham's Hobby Centre in St Marys might have what you need. Give them a try on Queen St, just down from the station. There's another hobby shop on the other side of the road too (might be hobbypro or something).

Cheers! Ogier.

(nb: I am not related to or affiliated with Graham's Hobby Centre, but I do get a discount for being a member of PDNR! )

"RACING" in oz is not big enuf for most shops to stock lots of racing gear, thats why they are full of RTR.
