Do you have any preferred or recommended places to shop for RC in Hong Kong?

Jaz Hobby has been good for me. Good prices and hard to find stuff. Shipping was better than average.

Always looking for new and interesting ways to waste money.

I think Prof is looking for a physical location in Hong Kong to actually go to. There are probably some pretty sweet shops there, I'd bet.

Hope you're doin' something fun.

I'd assume that these places have storefronts as well.

Thanks for the advice all. As luck would have it, many folks in Hong Kong take the Christian holidays off! I found out the hard way lol, no rc buying, a nice walk around the city...maybe a good thing.

Hi Guys,

I bought some Tecnacraft turnbuckles off E-bay from Hong Kong.

They are not 4-40.

The diameter at the threaded section of an original Tecnacraft Turnbuckle is (4-40) or 3mm which fits

the Team Associated #6274 ball cups perfectly....

Hi Charlie don't surf,

The problem I have now is I don't have a complete set of either but a mixture of both, and I would need

to buy different rod ends.

I might just put this buggy in the cupboard for a while, I am just over it at the moment....

in the era around 90's .............on-road buggies were very popular in Hong Kong ..........simply because of the lack of off-road tracks .........& also the easy cleaning up of the car after playing.......... :)

In sweden during the winter back in the days we raced buggies with saloon bodies stock motors on foams tires indoors on carpet and it was fun and its very hard to get tangled up due to the big body.

Good morning!

Is your favorite or local shop listed by the big two?

I've noticed some of the more prominent or established shops do not appear on the dealer locator web pages published by Great Planes and Horizon Hobby.

My favorite local shop is on Horizon hobby.

Here's a question I had on my mind, especially since many of us have been in the hobby a long time.

Who has worked in a hobby shop?

Last post

The location I worked was 181st and Glisan in NE. I spoke with Leon a year ago when I snagged a TRX1 from him and we talked about the Tanasborne location a bit. Crazy stories about getting out from under that lease

Related to the motor hoarder thread there was talk about what various shops have. Sheldon's hobbies was located about two miles from my place so you can bet i went there a lot. I was one of the few that had a backstage pass to the place. Believe me...

Last post

Didn't Rons wife run the register ? I grew up going to Sheldons as it was halfway between our house and my dads. Working there would have been cool but inside sources told me he was a hard man to work for. Good thing I didn't have a lot of money...

I decided to try and organize some of my crap, and my dad had a bunch of these racks and hooks he got from a friend. This is my R/C room at my parent's house.

Dorman is a auto parts manufacturer that is pretty common. I know O'Reilly auto parts carries that brand. Maybe you can score some if the store is doing some remodeling...
