Going to have to agree Al's is great!
Associated RC18T-stock
Traxxas E-Maxx-stock
Bandit R/C Racing Team
Spektrum DSM DX-3 System
Whether if your into bashing or into racing, R/C is still an obsession

Alright. Went to Al's. Not bad. Huge layout of stuff. Do they ever race in the parking lot out back?
I have to back up n_s_r though. Venture in Wheeling (or maybe its buffalo grove, can't remember) is pretty good too. They used to run venture raceways, but I dont think thats around anymore.

Venture Raceway has been closed for some time now. It was resold and run under the name RSJ Raceway which is now closed as well.
Overall Al's in Elmhurt and Venture Hobbies in Buffalo Grove are the best around. Unless you live further south then I'd go to Leisure Hours. Other then those three I don't think any are worth going to.
