Why do you keep saying to buy from a hobby shop? Isn't it cheaper buying online?
In many cases, the price of a given model may be cheaper at your local hobby shop. Even if the online price is $5 or $10 dollars cheaper than your local hobby shop, the online retailer likely won't offer any service or set up advice. If you're just getting started in this hobby, you need the experience and advice of the local shop to help you purchase the right vehicle for your needs and budget. Also the shop owner will help you get your model set up, and make sure that you have all the accessories you need to run. It's a real let down to order something online, pay extra for fast shipping, and then have to wait longer for some accessory you didn't know you needed. It's definitely worth the very small extra cost to have a relationship with a helpful shop owner, especially if your purchasing a nitro product for the first time.
