Hello from Sacramento, CA

Welcome to the forum Cat Daddy. You've come to the right place, you'll find all kinds of value information, suggestions, and insight to the wonderful world of plastic. I'm recently new to the forum too, I just started back in the hobby after a long break since my youth and found the hobby had changed....or better yet....advanced so far, I had no idea where to begin. That's when I seeked out this forum and it's made my life much easier getting up to speed. Anyhow, hope you're back to stay and just keep building and building and learn from your mistakes. It's a fun journey.

Im now living in Australia, but I too come from Sacramento and miss home. Australia's not such a horrible place to live either, but I miss my Kings! Goodluck mate

Thanks for the LHS info, Cat D.

Welcome aboard. Where's a LHS still standing in Sac'to now that River Hobbies is gone, right?

 

 

 

I'd  be interested as well. I'm heading out there in a month or so, always up to visit a LHS.

Also, I'd be interested in hearing your take on your HobbyTown USA's. I visited the Folsom store a couple years back, I thought it was awesome. The kit selection was great. Anything special about the other stores that might be worth a trip?

 

I haven't been to the Folsom LHS. I live close to downtown. The two shops I've been to are both excellent. RC Country is in East Sacramento and is huge with a great selection. Service is excellent but they're usually so busy you have to wait or hunt someone down. Viking Hobby is in Carmichael, is small with less selection, but the guy who works there is always willing to answer questions and help you out and you don't have to hunt him down. He's more game-focused and has a large selection of books and magazines that RC Country doesn't have. Apples and oranges, really. I love both.
