Where to Buy RC Cars... Online or Local Hobby Shop?

"Buying online provides convenience while a local hobby shop owner can give you invaluable advice and tips about rc cars."

I've gotten lots of emails and questions such as "Where can I buy rc cars?" Below is a guide to help you out.

Local Hobby Shop (LHS)
Given a choice, I highly recommend you look for a good local hobby shop. A knowledgeable store owner can give you plenty of advice and tips to help you choose and buy the right model.

Online Hobby Shops
On the other hand, there are advantages to buying from online hobby shops. First is convenience, simply add items to a cart, pay via credit card, and your rc car is delivered to your door or can be sent as a gift to someone far away.

Second is price. Some online hobby shops usually offer discount coupons that can reduce price by 10% - 15%. And some even provide free shipping! With so many online hobby shops to choose from, you can order those difficult to find models and parts from stores as far away as Hong Kong and Japan.
