Most of the shops around here closed up, well if he's looking for track time anyway. Toys For Boys still runs some on an outdoor track up in Kennesaw I think. Hobby Lobby stocks some stuff for the cars but I've never been in one so I can't tell you any brands. There is a shop in Stockbridge that has lots of parts and can order just about anything he might need.
OR he can buy all the stuff I have in my closet collecting dust.

Steve, Thanks for the help. What kind of stuff do you have for sale? We are looking for random bits, gears, bearings, motors, etc.

The biggest shop for that stuff that I'm aware of is Hobby Town USA on Barrett Pkwy in K'saw. :ponder

They've got an entire room set aside full of RC stuff. :eyecrazy

I've got a car I'm wanting to get rid of. There's a swap meet thing where I'm gonna sell mine in duluth @ the hobbytown in a strip next to the mall. I'd go there for parts and if he wants to buy my truck.......

I don't have that many spare parts. I have a complete Tamiya 415, a RC12L4 and a TC3. I do have a few parts for each car but not enough to bother listing. I also have a good radio system but would hate to part with that and not the cars.
I also bought an airbrush, compressor and alot of body related tools to paint and fix up bodies.
Quik 1, when/where is that swap meet? I'd like to unload all my stuff.
