I have not been to hobby hut recently, but those guys seem to know how to run a hobby shop. Is blackhawk still open, who is the other shop? I may have to take a ride over there one saturday with my rc buds. I have been to springfield (near hammond) a few times. His track is ok, and his tiny store is stuffed with parts. He does sell alot of buggies and truggies, I am sure the track helps with that.
