Local LHS and its specifically an RC model shop with cars, planes, boats and helis, so this guy comes in with a query about rc cars and chargers
Told him to fetch it in and we would have a look, shop owner takes one look at this white POS and says he doesnt do stuff like that, he does nitro etc and that the guy would be better of elsewhere, in a pretty offhand manner.
I says to the guy 'let me have a look'....its a Tamiya of some sort but with now way to fit usual 7.v nicad, but plenty of room to fit a decent 7.4 inside that would far outrun the previous battery, albeit in a captive mode.
A quick explanation of what was required and the guy buys two decent amperage nihms and a quality charger, hands over best part of £75.
Door closes and proprietor says...'wanker' never know what they want!
Funny thing was, before the guy came in, we were discussing how bad his turnover was that year and that everyone was buying from Ebay, blah, blah, blah!
A little work and thought might things go a bit easier I thought.
