I am pulling the old AE T2 out of retirement and wanna see if it can still be competitive with modern electronics. But I need parts, mostly tires and a few screws. Is the LHR hobby shop open at the track on Tuesday nights?

Any input on where I can get the best deals on batteries and chargers would also be appreciated? All I have right now are my old NiCd 1700 packs and a Tekin BC5a charger which amazingly all still work after sitting for 8 years.
