mydoddy69 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 To be honest the best model shops are out of London IMO reason being ground rents for shops are just to high in London for them to survive . This and there a very few places to use your rc without hassles so demand for rc''s is not as high as outer London in more rural areas It will be interesting to see now if any come up .

lazkopat Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 For RC planes & Heli Al's hobbies in Hainault is worth a visit. The guy is very funny and takes care of you. For rc cars DMS racing is pretty good in Watford. Don't bother with 308 hobbies as they give wrong or deliberately wrong advice on cars and jets and always grumpy. For that reason i avoid 308 hobbies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
