Herp a derp much? Maybe you should post something more intelligent before you call others "retards".

I'll bet your LHS has jack that can keep me in the Amain. None of the LHS's here will match online prices. Even if they still make $100+ for 15 minutes of labor. (my Losi 5ive sale for example)

I only know one LHS that supports a track.

It's not rocket science to bring in racers to your shop. But i haven't seen a LHS that could:
-get parts I broke on Saturday to my door by thursday
-not completely rip me off. I'm not paying 20% more than online for the same goods
-have a decent return policy

Every time I go to a LHS, everything I see is completely out of touch with racing. Racers have no choice but online anymore.

If I made half of my purchases from a LHS, then I would miss most of the races.
