I don't think so, people had asked but they're running a competition there I think

I had no luck either, the only really good deal was on Zoom Room's reciever packs for $11 each, $10 for the 2nd, etc

The hobby show was ok, didn't get to run my dark impact but that's cool. I bought a hitec optic radio. SO SWEET for 190$! That's an awesome deal. Hobby Wholesale were very nice to me. I'm not going to say who but one of the shops was pretty pathetic. They normally sell the DX6 for 240$, I came up to the man working there and asked if they brought one. He said they didn't. He also said I can come by within a week to their shop to get the radio for the hobby show deal. I asked how much? He said 260$...I thanked him and walked away. I mean comon, stop being so greedy. W/e not that big of a deal. Fast Cats had a nice layout. I liked how there was an area for planes and helis, the sailboats were nice. Some cars were also saweeet. Lunytune's savage h is crazy. I think everyone needs to be more involved next year and maybe a bit more generous. It's not all about making money. Who won the cuda? Probably they rigged it so someone wins it and just gives it back to them. THink about it, 5 tickets for 20$. Say 1000 buy tickets at the price, that's only 20 grand. THe cuda is worth way more. No way they are going to give a way such a nice car, unless there is a huge catch. But overall it was pretty fun. I had little time cause I was with my dad but it's all good. Hope next year is better
