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

I will be working with Jeff (jetboat) to bring ya guys the best product as possible so feel free to give you input!
Thanks,

Hill's Hobby and Collectors' Shop
So it is official and straight from Mike then?
From what Jay and Jeff told me..... Eh I can't wait to start at Hills
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
Maybe I'll question Mike tomorrow.
Im not very pleased with Mike as of right now. But ill keep my mouth shut.
Wow, sorry to see any shop close down. Times are tough and the internet makes it harder yet for the LHS.
Internet hobby stores will eliminate many more locaction based style stores. The selection and pricing is just too good
Hey Jeepguy, At the comp I saw a GreatfulDead board game on the shelf. Can you see if its still there and how much?
Thanks Kevin
Are you the guy that pulled my AX10 out the door with a 10lb jeep? :wavey:

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

I'm there right now Kev and we do have it in stock still, give me a call if you want it pulled off to the side for you!
That sucks.
If our new HQ for SCRC is Hill's I'm going to be missing a few dates (meetings) I predict...Mainly b/c it's an hour 15 from where I am.

I'm with you buddy, if it's an hour n 15 min for you that makes it around 2 hrs for me and the rest of the hillbillies down here!
mash:
Al's definetly rocks, the people that work there actually know whats going on for the most part. Venture is a joke used to go there alot before i found out about al's
+1 for Al's. My only complaint is I end up standing around too long to get waited on cuz they are always so damn busy!

Here here for Al's. They let me bash my crap at their birthday party.
Rather drive the half hour to Al's than the 5 minutes to Venture.
Leisure hours > All.
Not when it is an hour and a half drive to get there
But it is a good shop
I don't calculate distance when I calculate quality. Lol. Quality is still Quality even if its farther away.
lol where is the difference in quality when it has the same if not less of the stuff we all use?
I supplement leisure hours with the internet sometimes. I go for my discount.
