I would but the budgets tight right now.
It's hard when they are nearly $25 more than what I have seen on the net. I will buy any hopups I get at my lhs as always.

Ok...
forget it...at least I'm honest about it. So many claim to buy EVERYTHING at the lhs and yet they buy nearly everything online. I actually buy 95% of everything at my lhs.

I just said LHS b/c they don't charge shipping. Not trying to be sarcastic or anything.

"Support our local Hobby Shop!"
RCKnight asked a great question. I'd love to know as well.
Listen, I support my LHS when I can, but when they sell stuff like KO servos for $135+Tax when they are $99 tops, online?????
I asked one time and just got a "
" type of answer"its because they are KO Propo"
Seriously..........that was the answer they gave me

if you have a good relationship with your LHS(most of us do, we help pay there rent) then speak to them about there pricing, but remember to include shipping in your price when you speak to them. believe it or not most value your business, i am a firm believer in supporting my LHS but on occassion, 80% of the time they are higher than what i can buy online for. i simply print off the price and explain to them that this is there price, i include shipping and can they come close to that number. i can only remember once where they said they could not, they explained why they couldn't and i accepted that. they are in business to make money, remember that, they support our local races(prizes, sponsership ect..) if we nickel and dime them to death what becomes of the next big race when we have no prizes. dont get me wrong i dont accept outragous pricing but if they can come close to what i want to pay then its worth the little extra cash. establish a working relationship with you local hobby shop
