I use to get my hobby supplies from there when I use to live in Point Cook.
Quite a good store.
Yeah, mine and Alex's Tamiya R/C Car is the Expert Built (XB) model and is electric.
Everything is pre made / assembled + remote.
I bought a battery as well.
It cost $450 for the R/C car but I bought that in the City, which they fully rip you off.
The hobby store in Box Hill was selling it for $350, same package set up too.
Yeah I got over it a bit, but now I should really get back into it, just kept putting it off.
Gotta friend in my area who got a R/C Car too and hopefully head down the track soon.
It's all money at the end of the day, Body Shells can cost $50 - $70 then you got to paint it ($10 - $12 a can of paint).
Buy a set of decent wheels to suite you look (If you want) Wheels come in a pair = 1 set = $15 - $17
Since you need 4 wheels you need to buy 2 sets = ($30 - $34)
Then you need to buy the tyres, so I just went the cheaper tyres = $27 - $30 a set of 4 tyres.
You can easily spend up to $117 - $146 each time you want to do up a R/C Car.
Also depending on how many colours you want to paint it or you can save on wheels and tyres.
