ONly place i know is Hobbytown USA on Oakton and Milwaukee. Haven't been to the track myself but my brother sees them racing all the time.

Dekalb, IL... about 60 miles west of skokie.

There's a indoor and outdoor onroad and a outdoor off road track out here. I've only gone there to buy fuel since all I do is bash.

I think it's called AJ's RaceWay or something close to that.

The only hobby stores that i know of are:
Tom Thumb which is located in Evanston, Il
HobbytownUSA which is located in Niles, Il
VentureHobbies in Buffalo Grove , Il

VentureHobbies is prolly the best place to go. They've got a crapload of parts, cars, and misc. parts that break on the regular. It's just a long drive from where i live. HobbytownUsa has a track, but i've never seen it myself.

There's Al's in elmhurst as well. http://www.alshobbyshop.com/ It's a really good store.

That store s*cks. I hate the attitude those folks gave me on my first/last visit. I will never go there again. The shop I'm going now ( La Grange)is much smaller but I pleased with their customer service.

 

[olds97_lss]

Your nuts... You like the old cranky guy in lagrange over Al's?

Actually, your right, their attitude does suck, but their prices on most things are pretty good and they carry a lot of parts.

Actually, after taking the time to sit down with the old dude in lagrange and chat with him, he's relatively pleasant to talk to. He just can't stand stupid kids.

 

[MyJeep]

Yeah that old dude is cool. And it is true that he does not carry alot of parts, and I didn't know he can't stand stupid kids

Maybe I was one of the stupids kids one month ago.

 

[olds97_lss]

Don't feel bad, I was once too. Now any time I go there I can't get out of there without chatting for 20 minutes.

 

[MyJeep]

So which shop you go more often now? lagrange over Al's ?

Any other good shop without driving an hour?

 

[olds97_lss]

Sorry, not that I know of. I actually only go to al's when I need something during the week. I live in dekalb and work by brookfield zoo. It's an hour for me to get to work.

I actually go to hobbytown in rockford whenever I plan on making a large purchase or if the weather is to crappy to run the rc's. It's only 45 minutes away.
