I've been to his shop once. HDB type, quite spacious, with a very nice mini Z track. He deals in mainly 1/10 electric kits of all sorts, but he will be promoting Losi. Very nice guy, go n visit him.

Default Champion hobby cum motor shop...

Champion hobby cum motor shop..

Anyone had heard of it or went there before? Its near lavender , very near singapore casket.

I wish to hear bout your comments. Its not good to speak ill of some one but i've no choice but to tell the truth.... This uncle( the owner) is really a bigtime AhBeng and wicked person, he keeps boasting that his products( cheap&inferior taiwanese products) are the best and look down on people.

As i'm involved in most rc hobbies, he din know( cos i normally tok very friendly and open to views when discussing hobbies) and keep boasting and give me a F**king "hao lian" attitude, telling me " only if u want to confirm buying then i show u my product!" He thought that he is damn good cos he plays RC!!! The truth is i've seen better/friendlier/more profession indonesians and malaysian , both competition and shop owners, than this lame person.

Such a disgraceful person puts a shame on all RC hobbies and puts people off our fun and challenging hobby.

pm me and i can tell you guys more over the phone if you are not convienced.

Well Nomexx, wat to do. Business need customers to survive and customers are like that. Especially so when it comes to hobby business. 14 yrs ago, It cost me a few hundred bucks to get hold of a brand new 4wd buggy from Tamiya. Now a buggy cost about the same or even going for a lesser price. Bear in mind, 14 yrs ago, we could eat a bowl of wanton noodles for just over a dollar. Now it cost us two. This only goes to show how little the profit margin for this kind of business is with customer like us around. heheheheheheh....
