Local Suppliers
« on: May 26, 2008, 08:56:52 AM »

I see there is a massive trade directory on the site but is there anything where I can find Local suppliers (nothing like seeing people and products in person).

As you might have seen from my post about the new project for a coble I am going to need to get all sorts of bits, RC set, ESC prop & shaft batteries etc.

I am looking for a decent model shop in my area (happy to travel up to 50 miles - max) I am in South Yorkshire.

Thanks

Try your local Yellow Pages and Thompson and give them a call.

Yellow Pages & Thompson Local ?

Heh heh I only ever use the computer to find stuff but thanks for the reply I will see if we got one of those but no doubt we probably used them for the fire.

Gingyer, thanks I will look into both of those, it was a shot in the dark to see if anyone had a recomendation

I'd recomend P & S Hobbies & models in York. It's an excellent shop with a good range of fittings and has been freindly enough when I've been there.
