I very much like what you three are doing... didn't know you're behind 'Works. Great stuff, always was fond of A&L...

Thank you!

Shocking you don't have a forum in the business section, no?

Had one, didn't really find a benefit to it.

Small all RC vehicle shop, with not much web presence. All modern stuff of course.

That's a metaphor for life right there... or at the very least a really good bumper sticker.

Yeah, facebook pages just didn't make the cut. But Ace is there. From the google pictures it looks like a well-stocked store too!

Happy 2024!

Went through and updated the directory. Changed addresses for shops that moved. Removed listings for shops that closed. Deleted a few duplicate listings. Even added some new shops to the list!

The number of new shops offset the number of shops closed so the list is actually longer than it was last year!

Also, I did some rearranging, stores are now listed by phone number in descending order, which should make it easier to find a places by scanning for area codes and prefixes.

And that about covers it... if you know of a shop you want added to the list, post it up. If you see an error, let me know. Have something good to say about a hobby shop? Feel free to share!

Happy Shopping!

Excellent work!

I was looking at something I needed from a site called:
https://muddslidemotorsports.com/

I did all the normal checks, whois says the domain has been up since 2007, and their physical address shows a place called RC Hobbies. It passes all the checks that I can think of, phone number was listed and matched also.

I used Paypal just in case, but they had (2) vintage Bolink 63 Corvette bodies, like the one from The Dead Pool movie. It's hard to believe they were just sitting around there, but so far it seems completely legit, received a receipt immediately following. I really want this to be legit.

Excellent work!

...I really want this to be legit.

Thanks!

Mudslide Motorsports is legit. They're the current owners of RJ Speed, the successor to BoLINK... wait... did I not put them on the list???

Well that egregious oversite has been rectified... ...I don't think they have a retail showroom so I'll put them in online only. Thank you for that.

I wouldn't doubt they have the bodies... interesting will be if they show up in BoLINK packaging, RJ Speed, or someone else... BoLINK had a lot of molds that got bought by some very cool folks.

So glad to hear I didn't discover another bogus site, and that https://muddslidemotorsports.com/ is legit!

I also didn't get an Out of Stock email regarding the bodies today, so I'll assume it's a go.

Thanks as always @Dangeruss!
