SCRC MEMBERS LOOK HERE! - AddictedtoNITRO - 05-06-2008 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 Naperville HTU CLOSING! SCRC MEMBERS LOOK HERE! - BJoe - 05-06-2008 Maybe I'll question Mike tomorrow. Naperville HTU CLOSING! SCRC MEMBERS LOOK HERE! - Jeepguy - 05-06-2008 Im not very pleased with Mike as of right now. But ill keep my mouth shut. Naperville HTU CLOSING! SCRC MEMBERS LOOK HERE! - DAVEC-NITRO-RS4 - 05-07-2008 Wow, sorry to see any shop close down. Times are tough and the internet makes it harder yet for the LHS. Naperville HTU CLOSING! SCRC MEMBERS LOOK HERE! - rocco79 - 05-07-2008 Internet hobby stores will eliminate many more locaction based style stores. The selection and pricing is just too good Naperville HTU CLOSING! SCRC MEMBERS LOOK HERE! - MX_KEVIN - 05-07-2008 Hey Jeepguy, At the comp I saw a GreatfulDead board game on the shelf. Can you see if its still there and how much?

The selection and pricing is just too good 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 Naperville HTU CLOSING!
