I live 20 min from ringing rocks and my lhs carries not one crawler. Unreal.

The Hobby shop named Race Place at the Quakertown Market is a Joke. Unless you drive a traxxas, don't bother. He might order you some parts, but you can get them faster online.
Plus he is only open 3 days a week.
There is not much around the Doylestown/Quakertown/ anytown in PA...LOL

Awesome guy to deal with..

This place is like 5 min from my house. I took a drive by but assumed he only did mail order type stuff cause it looked like an ordinary house. I'll have to give him a call and/or stop by again.

Finally got some free time to go to Denise's last night. Wow, talk about anything you would need. I wouldn't believe you could fit everything he has in a basement if I didn't see it myself. I think anything I would ever need he has. I bought a servo and some stampede axles. The guy has 2.2 Pitbulls in stock! Can't wait to go again. I don't know if he keeps regular hours so make sure you call first.

Yeah I stopped by the lhs about 30 minutes from my house and ask about crawler parts or if they could start stocking a few items and they replied to me, " CRAWLING IS DEAD AND GONE", YOU NEED SOMETHIBG LIKE THAT E-REVO OVER THERE ON THE SHELF.

I tend to go here if I am not ordering online. For your every day things they are fairly priced, but sometimes you can get a better deal. They do have a pretty good sized stock, even carrying some Axial, Losi stuff, and they even have a few twin hammers items, as well. I wish they would get more for the TH, though. I have always had good luck dealing with them, and they don't seem to try to cheat me when I ask for something, as in, trying to sell me something overpriced that I don't need. And if they don't have it in stock, they will usually order it and offer to put something back and let you know they have it if you wish.

the hobbytown is secane is great. stop in there a few times a week just to BS with the guys in there. parts wise, they have axial trucks, some parts for the axial trucks. basic stuff like bearings and servo horns some spacers and stuff like that I've got in stock there. I've found they have to order in most of the parts I need though. I don't mind, its faster then most online places get them, they are a few blocks from my house and I pass by on the way home.

I play on the rock course with my ridgecrest (and soon to be dingo ) atleast once a week but after going to 2 comps to watch the EPA guys run the one at the shop is, well its just a line of rocks lol. I prefer dealing with a person in a store over ordering things online so my first choice when buying is thru them. my second choice is thru the venders / classifieds here. after that its where ever I can get the parts I want.

fuzzy you should try and talk to the EPA guys, they got a scale and pro comp going on this weekend up in tremont.

Hobby Express in Cranberry Twp (Pittsburgh) keeps a pretty good selection of crawler parts in store. If you don't see it, just ask. They have a couple bins full of stuff under the counter. Had several kits and rtr's in stock last time I was there.

Hunting, fishing, riding my Harley and playing with toy cars. Lots of builds since I saw you last. Check my profile on here; you'll find 'em. My new spot is Tailspin Hobbies in Apollo, PA. Tom the owner is a good guy and they have a lot of stuff. Have a place called Whirlwind Hobby here in town, but they pretty much suck. Have a dozen (Traxxas) hobby grade RC's for sale, but no parts and they know nothing about them. They mostly sell trains, models, and comic book figures.
