Hey Kwikvdub; those guys at NYC Hobbies(on Myrtle Ave) don`t know anything about Tamiya Kits. Those guys only know about X-Ray kits.
But.....they`re the only hobby shop that is into(knows) about Electric R.C.
They do alot of In-Door and some Out-Door Racing in Long Island(with South Shore Hobbies and Willis Hobbies tracks).
But overall; they`re No Help to Me.....They don`t/won`t order Tamiya stuff.....And they always have a Bad Attitude when I come there.
-The 2 best Hobby Shops in N.Y.C. is Nagengast Hobbies(Fresh Pond Rd - Queens) and Brooklyn Hobbies(Flatlands - Brooklyn). They will order Tamiya Parts for you.
I/we usually set-up our own Track in a school yard out here. We didn`t race much last year because the police and Board of Education wanted to close the yard.
We`ll find another spot to Race.
Hey chris; putting down Sugar Water on the Track; that`s a good idea. It would keep most of the dirt and dust off the kits. . . . .Thanks.
Take Care
