Welcome to the city and the boards! Hope to see you out at the Leisure track.
Leisure Hours Hobby shop is worth the drive to go pick up a new kit. If your spending hundreds of dollars on an RC an 25-35 minute drive it well worth it.

Buy your stuff at Leisure Hours and at Al's. Go to both stores and introduce yourself and tell them guys here at chitownrc.com told you to stop in. Just so you know both places can get just about anything you want if it's not in their stores, in about two days, depending on when you call. Good thing is that both the big distributors of hobby stuff are within a 5 hour UPS truck drive away. Both places try to give you the best prices you can get.

Check out the forums at:

look for:

Wisconsin and Illinois Racing

Here's places to race (in no particular order):

his and her's hobbies in Kenosha Wisconsin closed?

Did it burn down today?

Bill the owner has been posting in rctech and his forum is up and running and there's no mention of him closing.

They are making their track bigger next month....to 70 feet.....

Are we both talking about the same place?
