So I go in and notice that the store is kinda small and everything is spaced out.
So I ask the one person there...

I really miss all the privately owned stores back then. So many around our area and so much fun just to take a day off and look around. One had 4 floors off hobby stuff and they always had new and used collections of rc and model kits stacked 10 ft...

Just last week, there were some included in a lot of brushes and springs. I already have several comm sticks and didn't need a bunch of laydown brushes, so I passed.
Finally I have finished collecting parts. The carbon chassis was the last piece of the puzzle and is on the way to me this week. What a mission it has been finding so many items. I cannot wait to start the build shortly, in a week or so.

Having the opportunity to buy several kits from you in person, which I enjoyed so much as a kid in the 1980s was such an honor.
So I consider myself quite lucky as I have made a lot of friends here, some good ones and some great ones that I talk to on a almost daily basis. I have also been lucky enough to meet a few guys in person, see some gear and run some cars- all...

Hello all,

Pretty sure that they are nylon. That's what they look like.
I just put an Andy's body mount in dye to bring its color back. It took the color quickly, just like nylon.
