Rcabj, shops like you have mententioned are hard to come by good and understanding sales and service is very hard to find in a hobby shop i sugest you stick with that shop. Also i might add for the shops frendly helpfull sales and service Is the way to get our money. No one whats to give there money to some one who snubs there costomers and are no help when a small very fixable prob like yours is braught to there attention. Good luck with the novarossi. Best Regards Jeremy.
