Was that the one in the old Tanasbourne mall? I used to hang out there, and went to a few of the races at the track out at the edge of the parking lot, although I wasn't old enough to work at the time.

I haven't been on much for the last few months because I have been quite busy between finishing up school and then opening a hobby shop with a friend. I am the person in the shop and he has provided the space and opened some doors(and all the money)...
We all have a local hobby shop that we love (or hate; sorry if that's your situation). Most RC hobby shops also come with a variety of employee types you can count on to help you with all your R/C needs. If you've visited enough RC shops or have...
