Tampa area hobby shops?

[minorobsession]

Heading down to see my brother in the Tampa area next week and was wondering where I should stop in? Mostly crawler or short course stuff?

where are you going in the Tampa area? there are hobby shops all over the area.

Phils Hobby Shop, Pinellas Park.
Hobbytown, Tampa (maybe Carrolwood area)
B&B Hobbies, Hudson
Elite Hobbies, Tampa

Those are the ones I can think of off the top of my head. I dont know if any of them have a large or any selection of Crawler stuff....should have no problem finding SC stuff though

HobbyTown has a small selection of crawler stuff, mostly Axial of course, but nothing major, they just have like links, shock springs, and wheels and small stuff like that. They are a good place to go to though "thumbsup"

You know, ive seen a very limited selection of SC stuff in Pep Boys Auto stores. They sell like kits and such but they also started selling like a small selection of hop up and stock parts too, not sure when hey started doing that, but just thought i`d pass that along just in case.
