hobby shop help

well, im in HK and Guang Zhou and need hobby shop help. ive got all the 02 and f1 parts i need but not my xmods and truck parts. ive checked bout half of the hobby shops for truck parts and maybe 2 for xmods. these were in HK so i need to know which ones have truck and xmods alloy and stuff in HK. also, i cant find a Nano Dragon in HK at all. i am wondering if i can pick one up in Guang Zhou as im there now. oh yea, sai, i used the ben coupon and there wasnt too much of a diff in price. only like $50 HK dollars when i got like $200-300 dollars in parts

xmods are not popular in HK. I don't think you can find any hobby shops in GZ to help you either.

You can go to GPM in HK but that owner is shady. Their alloy material is also very soft and scrathes easily.

You get $50 off for $300 worth or parts is very good. I get the same discount if not less. Those guys are among the cheapest. Keep in mind when you get back to NY no shop is going to give you a discount plus you get to pay tax on top of higher costs of parts here.

Did you pick up some TOPCAD tires for me? Also, ask around in HK for Kyosho 20 treaded rear tires. These tires are very good but hobby shops here want $10 for 4pcs. It should be about 1/2 price in HK.

Any new MR-02 in HK yet? Email me me if you have more questions.

have fun.

Yes, go get the Intellect 750mah AAA, they are about 1/2 price in HK compared to here. We race with these batteries.

Intellect batteries are not bad, but you can get decent 2000+mah batteries for cheap in USA.

What kind of xmod parts are you looking for? It might help you by buying the parts here if they are radioshack upgrades and shipping them. For example I have a Lancer evo body kit that I can sell for $7+shipping or a Civic body kit for $5+shipping. I can also get the radioshack awd for $13+shipping. Just a thought.
