im in norfolk in dereham to be exact as i said the nearest tracks/hobbyshops are roughly 20 od mile away from here i have rang a few of them to see what kind of stock they keep and i was very surprised they dont stock the likes of hobao or hpi some dont even have losi or shumacher either. when i first got into the hobby i had a real pain in the arse my savage was well knackerd lol and i needed a few parts for it and both shops that are near to me wouldnt even touch it because they dont stock the parts and to say the least they wasnt exactly customer friendly either witch put me off using them again.
i have been in contact with all of the above suplliers and they have given me the go ahead to stock theyre brands on a no sale return basis so i dont have any massive overheads on the stock department my main out lay is the premisis itself and insurance and bills etc.
there are a few people that use RC cars around here but like i said erlier they dont have anywhere to use them once/if the buisness has taken off i will be looking into renting a plot of land off a good friend of the fam to build a outdoor track also wich will then cator for the larger scale models i.e 1/10 1/8 1/5 both nitro and electric.
hopefully can get this up and running and get more people localy into the hobby
