The Naperville HobbyTown USA is CLOSING! Big surpise....

Anywhoo, This concerns the SCRC members.

I will be working at Hills Hobby Shop in Buffalo Grove! Im looking forward to starting fresh and in a store with money! Ya guys will still get your discounts and any other perks ya got in Naperville.

Currently there is not enought room to build an indoor course but there is some room for an outdoor course!

I plan on making the RC department to cater to Rock Crawlers. I will be starting fresh with RC4wd and if all goes well we will be stocking axles, R2Ds, R2s, punisher shafts, and various other parts!


I was given the ok for hosting meetings there but space is limited (there are some other things in the works)

If ya guys have any questions feel comments or general abuse free to e-mail me at

did you hear that they are going to start showing porno movies at the gas pumps
so you can see someone else getting screwed at the same time
I went into the gas station today and asked for
five dollars worth of gas......The clerk farted and gave me a receipt.

wow. for some reason after the last comp there, I'm not suprised. No disrespect to anybody but they had NO stock what-so-ever. But thats how it goes sometimes. #1 reason I haven't ventured out on my own yet

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
