    ehhh... the only one in the area isnt all that great. last time i was there they had shit scattered everywhere and none of it was RC related. puzzles, models, etc. any online places i can at least look at some stuff? know what i want and go to a shop somewhat close and buy?

    Buy him an electric, better, cleaner and faster (in most cases) and easier to drive/control. Hmmm, wonder why there are no nitro crawlers???

    I called them last week and they said the VXL 3s esc is on backorder. They'll send one out as soon as they get a shipment. Who knows when that will be :rolleyes:. Hopefully I get it this week.
