its not even about price or this and that its about the crappy customer service most hobby shops have. i go to certain hobby shops where i know ill get good customer service. if i go in to a hobby hsop and i get in a argument because some moron behind the counter tells me a gallon of byrons is 40+ dollars and od is the best im not going back. and this was right after the owner explained why he doesn't carry it which was a very valid reason. i think hobby shops need to look into the people they hire more then they do. I went to venture the other day and waited 10 minutes while the employees talked just so i could get 5 feet of fuel tubing. i will never go back there. the hobby hsops are dying because of customer support. i go to ht st charles or crystal lake and al's and i always get good customer service . i cant comment on the ht in naperville but thats just my rant on hobby shops
