Hello,this post is cool.I came back to rc car after stoped for 15 years.
In my memories back in the days every thing was much more expensive, at this time i quited 'cause i had broke the tranny on my rc10, the price at this time was 750 francs what would be more than 100€ so 80 pounds...
So when i got back into rc cars i was at first astonished how the prices got down.I bought on Ebay a B4 and every thing i needed else, then i discover there's a shop nearby where i live.After a few days i raced my car i've broke a part due to my very poor driver skills.
So i go to the shop, enter, the guy is on the phone and stay on it for like...a long time...but i'm a nice guy so i say nothing he barrelly says hello and ask what i need.Of course he doesn't have the part so he order it...
It was 3 months ago.During this time i ordered tons of stuff in the Us, Uk and China most of the time i got my things in 10 days with super online services and when i call the shops they're always friendly and give good advices.
I go back to that shop sometimes to buy tires or whatever he has in stock that i need.But i have to admit that i'm not mother theresa so why would i buy a new servo 90 pounds when i can buy it online for 48 pounds...
So my point here is to say that if the shops want to survive they really should rise a lot their customer services like help tuning the car, give kick ass advices and at least try to be friendly etc...It's there and only there that they have a chance that some customers find it is worth the price.Sad but true to me.
Cheers.
