What did you bring home from the LHS today?

Haven't bought anything from local hobby shop in some time since they don't support 1/5 scale and barely nitro only fuel. Only to see they have closed down.

yep... however the owner of my local hobby shop is telling me that 5th scale is becoming quite popular again and is gaining more traction

I honestly think all the electric rc's killed there business. Once you by a car and batteries what else could you possibly need from them. Plus stuff they don't have they have to order. When I can order myself and have it come to my front door.

It's a tough business to be in. Many are just rc nerds like ourselves but they only commit to a few models and become grumpy cause nobody comes in. I've seen it happen a few times over the yrs.
