Anyone else here own/work in a RC hobby shop.

Post by biff85ta » Fri Nov 27, 2015 1:05 am

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) to get us up and running. I had already been running the local offroad track for a couple of years and along with the shop we moved all of that from dirt onto old ozite carpet and into the main building with the carpet onroad track which is an old national guard armory. Anyway all that aside anyone else grinding it out on the retail end of things?

"It is not how you finish but how you qualify unless you qualify bad then it is how you finish."
Words of wisdom from the Cox bros at my local track.

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.

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...

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...

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

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....
