Looking for any members to post some links for local shops around the disney area of florida please.

Nice, we're flying out to Florida on wednesday. How's the weather there recently.
As for shops, JR Hobby was the only one we visited but they were cool, not much in the shop but they ordered a load of Associated parts for us which we got within 6 days. Plus, the owner was a geordie so enjoyed having a chat with my parents and seemed a quality bloke. JR Hobby is about 10 miles from Disney I think.

Superior hobbies is "the" shop, its huge and if they dont have it in stock they will get it for you. We stopped there on the way to the airport to spend our last $$$ after the clash

Dang! Summer's already there... so the Brit lobsters.

I'd go with Sup Hobbies also. I am living about 35' from the shop and honestly there is no better shop around. But, if you really want to go for best prices, I'd shop online and have my stuff shipped home or hotel.

tc2k, weather sux like always. My wife just had a walk with the kid and told me it is about 89°. Btw, do not forget sun and mosquitos lotions.

sharon is very helpfull, email her, and she will get what you want in stock, supierier((sp) hobby is bigger but further away from disney/universal and has more race stuff

dont forget you will have to add around 6% to purchases, which is state tax.
to get cheap mail order to your hotel from a web shop out there

when we were there we went to bobs hobby center in golden rod road in orlando,great sevice and they post to the uk,they stock alot of losi and associated stuff also i went to superior hobbys and cleared them out of old tamiya and old skool rc10 stuff,ace shop-cool trophies-loads of cars and spares and the tyre wall was ace!.
if your after old tamiya stuff dont bother as its all gone.
