A similar thing is happening at a LHS. It's been around since the "Tamiya age" of the 80's. It appears that the son is going to have it handed to him and he doesn't give a crap about it so it's probably going to go down the crapper. Haha. It actually came from Jack The Ripper. | |

Its taken a few years but the local Hobby Town in Carson City NV final closed, it was same thing they had on-road races in the shopping center parking lot and had a lot RC's and parts, then slowly phased out of the RC, Too tables full of geek kids playing Magic They changed to the final location, had some RC's but nothing that moved on off the shelves and didn't carry Axial or RC4WD, I could buy it online my self cheaper or go CKRC in Reno NV, so I stopped going in there, but heard it was closing and its gone now, it was a franchise and the owner wanted out, so I think he had a big part to due with the lack of business/profit, that he is ok with it closing and inventory sold to a guy That is going to try and open a Hobby Town but not in Carson City NV, good luck to him, unless he cares wants makes money or want corporate tells him to push, he will closing his franchise too Last edited by kgb424; 03-01-2017 at 12:05 AM. |

Local Hobby Town finally finally shut down after 4 years and 2 different locations. Their RC offerings were not great, at best. They sold axial and a few Tamiya items but didn't stock anything for replacement parts. I went when things were at 40% off, and even then the AR60 front uni's that I purchased were still $15 more than anywhere that I could have mail ordered from. I realize that there's many more aspects of "hobbys" than RC, but when you have a shop, and you stock almost nothing besides over priced 'entry level' merchandise and your staff consists of a grumpy 50 year old dude who wears a kilt and a kid that has a crappy overall attitude, you don't have any tools to succeed. |
