Hoby Shops Around Tampa?

[stone202]

Will be in Tampa over the holidays and was wondering if there are any hobby shops in the area? Would be looking for a shop in the crawler related parts. Don't mind having to go for a little drive but not to far!
Sorry if this is posted in the wrong section...
Thanks for help!!

Well, there are two hobbytown usa's here both owned by the same person who needs an education in business. There's a few others that I've never been to because I do 99.9% of my purchasing online. I go to the LHS for a magazine now and then. Now I have no idea if they stock Axial parts, but I've seen a lot of Traxxas, Associated, and Losi parts.

Thanks for reply! i actually live in Canada and I myself order 95% of my items online.
Just would've liked to get in an actual nice hobby shop considering the local ones here and well... not the greatest by any means Lol.

The last nice, well stocked, beautifully displayed, educated hobbyist employees, and fair priced hobby shop that I was in was on Long Island before I moved to Florida. Now there is a hobby shop that's all about crawlers up near Ocala. It's called Rotors, Rudders, & Wheels. Very small store, but they have plenty of Axial stuff. From Tampa, it's an hour and fifteen minute drive. But if you feel like staying close, visit the Hobbytown USA in Brandon. There are two guys there (Justin and Wes) that know what their talking about. I haven't been in that particular store yet, but I recently have done a trade with Justin and spoke with Wes on the phone, so I will definitely will be paying that store a visit.
