    Looking for a hobby store in Washington

    Just over the US border. Something bigger with model cars and shit. Dunno what I wanna get, but i used to build RC cars for fun but that gets too time consuming and I dont' have the space for that either (or budget at this time either).

    thanks in advance
    If it's got tits or tires, it's gonna cost ya!

    I am assuming you mean WA state. There is a place that does a bunch of RC cars in Burlington. There were 2 places in North Everett, one place was really heavy into RC stuff but I think it's closed now. There was another place about 4 blocks south that had some RC stuff, they had a very large slot car track. I have only been by the places in Everett, I think the last time was in October.

        Thanks for the reply/

        Actually, I meant to add that I want to start getting into more model cars as opposed to RC stuff, so yeah, something along the same lines as what you are into.

        thanks for the replies

            Beware that model cars are now $20-$25 now compared to $8-$10 in the past.

              I'd highly suggest RC Hobbies in covington. Great shop and they know their stuff. I know they can order what ever model you need from the catalog if they don't have it in stock.
