Popular Post Hell horn. Posted January 21, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 21, 2022 In town and decided to pick up a few bits. I try and get basic stuff from them as and when I can. Always good for a chat and to see what stuff they have in at the time. For me just a few bits for the capra. Paint and tape for body. Esc tape. And a cheap servo for now. And now a pint. Shush ha 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross9999992 Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 If only there was a lhs…locally. Nothing in Swindon anymore 😞 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hell horn. Posted January 21, 2022 Author Share Posted January 21, 2022 That's a shame dude. One thing I always did with my dad was visit the lhs and have a look about and get something new to play with. But that's like 30 plus years ago now. So it's changed a bit since then lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross9999992 Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 I remember visiting beaties as a child but that’s long gone of course. We did have one model shop that was mostly plane stuff but they were good for servos and paints and a few ground things (actually where I got my original savage ss from) but went to pop in one day a few years back and it was just gone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.AJ. Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 My LHS was Apex Models and they were a horrendous shop to deal with 🤣🤣🤣 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkshireman Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Model Shop Leeds is a fabulous place.....not that much in the way of rc cars...they do sell them but, not many spares available. Often use them for paint,masking & stuff. Having said that,, I've recently bought a big Billing boats kit from them....many mths of work there to keep me busy!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mch87 Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Unfortunately there isn't a true hobby shop in a decent distance of me... There's a guy that sells some R/C's not too far away but heard a couple not great things said and there isn't much of a range that's relevant to me... There was a decent shop about 20miles away a few years back but the guys wife became ill and they closed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hell horn. Posted January 22, 2022 Author Share Posted January 22, 2022 Its such a shame that the old school hobby shop doesn't really exist anymore. For most of us anyway. I have a small shop in Gloucester that's OK Friendly staff. Small range if low to mid level stuff. Same. The shop in Cheltenham is generally a no go. Crap shop run by idiots when it comes to cars. Both myself and my dad did some work there years ago. It's gone down hill for years and years. Now I wouldn't even step foot inside it. We had one years go in evesham going back 20 years now. Was a brilliant little shop. Long gone now I believe I remember spending hours in model shops with my dad years ago. Looking at all the stuff and chatting to the guys working there about all the cars they had. And what to get. My little one is about old enough now to want his own car. And I'd love to take him to a hobby shop and let him look around and pick something just like I did at his age. But it just doesn't work any more that way. But that's life I guess. Off to modelsport it is when he wants something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kpowell911 Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Im quite Lucky. FTD Models is 0.6m away for simple stuff, and I can get to Wheelspin, Penn Models, Appliance Electrical etc within a decent time 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hell horn. Posted January 22, 2022 Author Share Posted January 22, 2022 Very Lucy man. I think I'm in a dead rc area. Very few people around me are into rc cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
