Im in the Champaign IL area for work for a couple of days and would like to check them out if they have a retail outlet. I thought they did but I didnt see anything on their website. Is there one?
If your in that area go check out Slot and Wing Hobbies. It is one of the last old school hobby shops around and they have a ton of of old vintage stuff. I already raided the old AE stuff but I had the feeling I missed some stuff.

I've been in there a hundred times! They cleaned the place up over the last year or so and its hard to find anything now. Im sure there is some good stuff left but its all packed up and put up high on shelves. I liked it better when it was scattered all over the store!
Finally, after 1 week of waiting my order on RC10 parts had arrived. There, I was surprised why the big carton box!?

Get yourself an old Radio Control Car Action magazine from back in the day because towards the end of each issue was pages and pages of Tower Hobbies ads. I can remember always looking at the prices hoping that one day they would come down. :oops:...
I am getting ready to order some things from Tower. They are offering $25 off for orders over $200. Would it be wrong for me to place several $200 orders instead of one large order? They have not sent me gold promos in a while so this would save me...

I just did this last week. By combining the special offer and the super saver discounts, I got an LRP Z28R spec3 truggy motor with a couple extra plugs for $170 shipped priority. Then, a scratch and dent FM 3PKS for $220 shipped regular ground/free...
My birthday is in november and i think its time for a brushless rc with a 2.4 radio... I want to spend over $300 and hear they have a coupon for spend over $300 get $50 off, but you must get it first... Any cupons anyone can tell me about would be...

You need to become a Super Saver member at Tower to get those coupons. When they issue the coupons, they can only be used to the account assigned to that email address it was sent to.
Anyone know when the last printed Tower Hobbies catalog was?

It isn't perfect, but my Samsung Galaxy phone and tablet both have scan functions in the camera settings. It automatically adjusts and crops the page. It does take a little getting used to.
Not ideal for a full catalog but it would work okay for...
Maybe it will come in handy for the gas guys, if it's close enough to what you're looking for :). Runner or shelf queen, either way.

Haha. I wish I had 40 acres. That's the neighbor's pasture across the road (5 acre), then the local beef farmer's lot behind that (about 2 sections; 1,300 acres).
