Hey guys.

Just wanted to let you know "Galaxy Hobby" has a ton on spare parts and hop-ups. Theres only a few things Darry doesnt have, shock retaners and the carbon fiber battery brace and spur gears (I gots the only one). His prices are really cheap too!. I got handfulls of spare parts and it only cost me like 30 bucks. Hes also open sunday. so if you need some parts, you should check him out before there all gone!.

Alloy rear hubs.
Alloy steering knuckles
Alloy thing that holds the steering hub
Alloy threaded front and rear shock bodys
Alloy a-arms

He has a web site (galaxyhobby.ca) It's on Mavis south of Burnanthorpe.

Very nice setup in the store. It's like a smaller version of Advance hobbies. Clean and setup well.

Yes he's a good guy to deal with and has a great selection and store location. He's also got some great store hours too!! Sunday and Saturday open late!!!

Depending on what you looking for you always have to shop around and remember who has what and for how much. You can save lots of $$$ by doing that.

It's great to go to a shop and see everything rather than looking across a counter and trying to see the whole selection. I'm sure we all agree about being close to the parts and staring at them.

k_r_a_c_k_e_r · 02-08-2005, 09:25 AM

yeah. I found his shop last year because I broke a part on sunday and no shops were open. been going there ever since. hes alot cheaper then hobby hobby too.

k_r_a_c_k_e_r · 02-08-2005, 09:26 AM
