Arent you people aware that it is linked to Amazon.com? click on a vehicle for sale...if you purchase they are not coming from toys r us...but placeslike sublime rc, Ehobbies etc.... dealers or shops who have advertised them online, and are registered with amazon. :rolleyes:

RCfrodoRC
08-13-2005, 09:11 PM
but i typed in toysrus.com. hey if they do have them at the store can i use one of the millions of coupons that i get in the mail

JamminJay
08-13-2005, 09:20 PM
yes I know you typed in toys r us ... so did I... but click buy ... your not buying from them, your buying from an amazon registered shop. Maybe your just not aware of, or ever bought from amazon.

Firefox is way better than IE.

And you can search for pretty much anything on amazon and it will show up, no big surprise.

I have one of those TMX Flexpak's. I used it for my old Wild Sting from Toy Works. Now THAT thing was tough. We had to jump it off my house onto concrete 8 times before it stopped working :D

i can hardly find any upgrade parts for an ofna ultra mbx..i actually wish toys r us or something had some in stock

Silent Scope
08-15-2005, 07:04 AM
lol everytime you break a part that u bought from toys r us u could return it.. i dont think theyd stock parts/cars for longer than a few months

rcnoob1488
08-15-2005, 03:23 PM
that would be bliss..for those couple of months
i would bash the crap out of my car hehh

RCfrodoRC
08-15-2005, 08:21 PM
yeah and i would use all the coupons to buy the stuff

rccardude04
08-15-2005, 11:46 PM
And in those few months a bunch of hobby shops would go out of business and afterwards the only place to get parts would be online. That would be terrible.

I belive you mean get "OFF" my "THREAD". Look, I don't have any beef with you, quite honestly your initial post was neat and interesting, but arguing about what sucks nuts or balls is pretty immature and tasteless. My post was pretty off color as well, but I don't think anyone should take offense to it, let alone seriously.

It's Rccaractions forum you however get to post your own "thread" (if the good ol' admins dont delete it first) :p :D I remember the good old days when toysrus used to carry MRC cars and at one point had a wild willy there too. Darn that must have been a good 18 years ago. It's only time before you can purchase Traxxas in the largest department stores like we all discussed a few months back in another thread.

get of my forum then idiot

Have questions about a product or want to see them side by side? Want to hold the 400 dollar truck you want to buy in your hands before you buy it? Want to ask people who've been doing this for 10 years what they'd reccomend for upgrades? Wanna buy your parts and get your rig running again on the same day (or even in the same week)? Want help tuning your engine? Want setup advice for that big race? Want to support a local business instead of a faceless corporation? Want to meet other people from your area who enjoy r/c? Want to take your r/c to an organized race? If not, then feel free to get stuff from Tower or Ebay. Prostitute yourself to the lowest bidder. When your rig breaks and you don't know how to fix it, don't come crying to me. When your engine won't start and you don't know what to do, don't come crying to me. When you can't keep up with your friends in a drag race down your street (because you don't want to pay to race at your local hobby shop), don't come crying to me.

I agree but there is an exception..if you don't have the money to buy a whole new setup you can go on eBay and buy someone elses for cheap. Also, I know some people have said that their local hobby shop is a pain in the rear. But for the most part, if you can support your LHS, then do so.

yea hes got a point, but hwen you got to 4 hobby shops and not ONE has what your looking for, and has no idea what there talking about, you will order off the internet.do you know how many times ive gone to my LHS and theyve tried to sell me things that wont work on my car? i have one good hobby sohp 45 min away. all the otehr ones i know of are crap.

rcnoob1488
08-18-2005, 03:40 PM
the guys at one of my lhs try and sell me the most expensive parts available and say that it's what i need. that kind of annoys me since they try to take advantage of me. but i'd still support them

NOT being a hs owner, i will say this: most people are all about instant gratification.in the r/c world, i think that goes double. Some things people need to keep in mind, when ( insert on-line huge hobby warehouse here__________) buys a T-maxx, they buy 2500 from traxxas, not 4..who do you think gets volume pricing? same as a convenience store, tey dont buy 1800 cases of soup, they get 10 cans, so they dont get the deal the big guys get, so in most cases, their cost is about what the big store selling price is.....HOWEVER,.....my lhs is 15 minutes away, in traffic. i want my car fixed NOW, i drive over there, and get parts. i get into the usual 20 minute b.s. session with the guys, and leave there feeling good, made a new friend, and someone who will be more than happy to help me with any problems. all in all, after shipping, losing out on makinga few friends, and having my car fixed RIGHT NOW, i will gladly support the hobby shop.....my dime's worth.

I'm assuming you meant me with this statement. I'm not a hobby shop owner. I do work in my LHS, but I definately don't own it, or even manage it.

no, no,..was not directed at you at all. just saying i am all about local support.i come from a very small town, and you had to keep the local bus. owners going, because the service after the sale is what it was all about. by no means was that directed at anyone, just some people may have read that as if I WAS the HS owner, and i wanted to clarify that i wasnt, dont get me wrong, with things costing as muc as they do now, if i can save a few hindred bucks, oh yeah, but if we are talking overall, a savings of $20.......not worth my time to wait .....i will go to the lhs, drop the extra money, and chat with my new friends, who, someday , could give me a great deal on something, that normally, i would be passed up for. its all about what you get out of what you put in..............speaking for myself, if i can get a brand new e-maxx on line for $150 close out sale,.......yup, wont think twice.... but we all know that wont happen. i just enjoy going to the hs, to talk with the guys, get some good advise, maybe the inside scoop on something, even drove some new cars.......FUN STUFF! cant do that over the web.......but take no offense plz. wasnt directed toward you, was merely, in a weird way, agreeing with you
