Hi, new guy here at the forum. My son and I just purchased a used RC10GT off of ebay for a good price. So in the process I have been researching places I can go to pick up fuel and other essential sundries, as I will be purchasing parts most likely online. I loved Stanton hobbies, I have been going there since I was like 8 yrs old and I am 32 now, my grandfather used to take me to their old location. I was sorry to see them go.
I have found a couple of places in the city that have fuel and plugs for sale, some carry parts. I will probably be doing most of my racing and practicing up at AJ's (soon to be Intense Raceway) up in DeKalb, or bashing on the family property in Michigan City, IN. ( 18 acres but need to get rid of some brush and trees first). Although I havent ruled out other tracks within a 100 mile radius of Chicago.
So I compiled a list of Inner City Chicago LHS's since I reside a couple of blocks west of Western and Lawrence. I only asked them if they carried Nitro, plugs, oil and Parts:
