We do have 2 local hobby shops in our area about a half hour from where I live. i have tried and tried to deal with both of them, and neither will really support anything but traxxas, and has no interest in helping us out. I have tried to get them to start carrying decent fuel, and getting some of their customers to come to our track, to try and get them some business, but they are not interested. As hard as it is for hobby shops to make it, it blows my mind they don't get some of their customers together and come and bring their slashes or whatever they have to our track and run some. You don't need to buy new parts, unless your on the track breaking them. I really can't beilieve ow poorly ran the place is. They seem to have little interest in stirring up interest in racing.
