Nitro RC?

Hey everyone,
Does anybody know of a Nitro RC store around nashville area, I just broke out my Savages and need some gas for them. I tried looking online but when I called to ask if they had any they were like "do I sell what?" so I dont think imma rely on the internet for finding a place...LOL Also does anyone else own any nitro RC trucks/cars on here?
Josh

Danielles RC is going to be the closest to you. It is off of Old Hickory Blvd. There is also Hobbytown USA down in Franklin. They both have fuel for rc cars.

I'd say Hobbytown is the most likely to have it but Danielles might. They mainly carry planes but have a car or two every once and a while. I'd call first before I went.

I know for sure Hobby Town has a great selection of nitro.


Finding a place to run them well that is a differant story around here. All of the Offroad and even onroad places have so far eluded us. They have all closed down as of late.

The only reason I suggested Danielles, is that I was down there today and saw a few quarts. I didn't look at what % he had though. Hobbytown will definately have what you need. Bobby is a great guy and will help you get what you need.

Thanks guys for the help. I went to Danielle R/C and got a few glow plugs and a gallon of fuel and I must say my truck is still as good as it was last year. I will try to post some pics of it later

Nice!

I can't wait to have more room than an apartment... I'll get back into planes and then maybe helis and buggies/cars/trucks, too.

I wish! That is Alan Szabo Jr. He is one of the top pilots right now. The fear of crashing and not enough time to practice keeps me from getting too good.

If anyone into the rc stuff is interesed I have a rc 10 & a brand new Python jr controller I need to get rid of. I tried the rc thing a few years ago but never really got into then. The controller probably has only been used for a half hour tops.

Great, Wayne... you live 3 minutes from me... I hope no one takes you up on your offer... if they build a track at your place, I'll HAVE to get a nitro truck or car! Maybe electric... but probably nitro... better yet, one of each.

Would be fun to make a bashing track out there with a few jumps.

I drove an hour to the last track I used to race at so murfs is a lot closer to what I am used to.

Doesnt take too much to build a track honestly I work a lot with the owners of the last track back in CA. And I can tell ya there is a HUGE amount of people that are really achin to get racing again in Middle TN since the last track shut down a few months ago. Most of these people are 21+ in age and put almost as much money as we do into our tanks.


If you are serious about your offer I will pass it a long to those in the MT rc community.
