Nice write up and great customer service. I have bought several items from CKRC with no problems. One of the sales guys' even called me to tell me about an out of stock part and we swapped it out over the phone.

I travel to Reno, NV a couple of times of year. I will definitely stop by next time I'm in town.

I need a job like that! Wish we had shops like that in CO.

Real quick, I didn't know the War Hog came as a kit?! Who makes it? I should know this but I don't remember.

Field trip!

Looks like a cool place. With a shop like that, I can understand why people would want to hang out at thier LHS. There's only one hobby shop in my area that sells RC, and I don't even look forward to going in there :neutral:

Cool spider, too

wicked killer shop. looks like a hell of a place to.... work ??
very nice place, lots of goodies to dream about.

i can't believe that old bug is still around...
i saw that thing in 91 and the guy who showed it to me said he saw it in 85.
that has moved around a bit though.
( if its the same one )

If she'd have been there that day I'd have snapped a shot or 10 for sure.

Hmm, why does the sign right above the front door say " Radio Conrolled Hobbies" ...? Did the "t" fall off? :-P

Otherwise, holy heck of a stock of crawler r/c parts/kits etc !

nice write up Jason. Nerve, You are correct about the missing t. About 3 years ago a sign painter came threw town and painted our building and the one across the street. It took about 6 months before someone noticed our t was missing and our neighbors mining prospec(t)ors sign.
