Orlando

[Hog]

Bit of an odd one - I'm off to Orlando in a couple of weeks, so does anyone know of any good RC model shops in the area? I run 4 x Associated cars so thought it might be a good opportunity to pick up some spares

One of our lot is in Florida now and he has found a shop with a track that let you hire the cars.

I will find out and get back to you

Thanks for that - doubt the missus will be impressed but gotta get my fix while I'm in the US!

Central Florida Hobbies is the longest standing (and only real remaining) model shop in the Orlando area I think.

They won't have much racing stuff in stock but they can get anything you need/want within a week. I always call in when I visit - been going since I was a kid!

Unfortunately there isn't much Off road racing in the area these days (although they have an on road track at the side if Kissimmee Golf club, recently held a Nitro worlds I think).

There is a big indoor track and shop near Cocoa Beach if you wanted to take a drive that way (Space Coast RC/Superior Hobbies). Superior Hobbies used to have a store in Orlando but it closed earlier this year and moved to the coast.

florida hobbies is the nearest to the tourist area of Idrive and kissimee, and if you email Sharon in advance they will get you what you want if they don't have it (don't forget to ask here which tea and chocolate she likes if you mail her)

Thanks guys. We're going to head to Kennedy Space Centre while we're out there so Cocoa beach isn't too far. And Florida Hobbies isn't far from where we're staying anyway so will definitely be going there.

+1 for Central Florida Hobbies!
Get in touch with Sharon, like others have said they can get anything to order and will ship big boxes home directly if they are too big to fit in your luggage!
