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)...
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...
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?

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

Tough loss.
But if you think about it, look at all the technology he saw over the years and how things had progressed. Its funny that some of the younger kids I race with sorta understand Nimh packs but mainly run lipo.
So I stopped into a local hobby shop yesterday looking for a B4/T4 top shaft to modify my T3 Stealth and I struck out. The owner caught up to me in the parking lot as I was pulling away and said he had this T4 in the back room he would sell me. I...

Generally the 10T and 10T2 bodies fit the T4's stock body mounts, the SC10 front body mounts on the T4 give you slightly more length if you need.
Here's mine on a T4...... it has a slightly different front tower but that wouldn't matter....
Not sure if this post belongs here, but I wasn't sure where else to post it. I just got home from another visit to the local hobby store. I found a B4 Top Shaft! That was what I was after all along so I could avoid eBay pricing. Pretty excited to...

Not cheap , but cheaper than what ebay sellers ask for originals.
I was checking those out too. I have a couple spare Associated B4 Top Shafts now, but will probably have to go the Avid route if I need more. Thanks!
Done!
