Hobby Lobby and Castle Creations ?

[Dennis Everett]

Why is it that HL doesnt sell CC speed controls ? I think of Hobby Lobby as the gold standard of sellers of electrics , I also think of Castle Creations as the gold standard of speed controls (and other stuff ) i know jeti is a fine speed control , but i prefer CC ........Dennis

Hobby-Lobby is not just a mail order store they are also an importer of certain hobby products that they distribute to hobby stores around our country. CC distributes there own products around the country to hobby stores. Without Hobby-Lobby certain products they supply might not be available here. You will notice other links in the industry where certain products are distributed by one company but not another. Much like the Ford dealership doesn't sell new Chevies (Except in some very small remote towns.).

I wish they did sell CC products. I wanted to buy a big AXI and a CC 110-HV plus some other accessories to take advantage of the "Save $100 on a $500 order" deal. But they don't have CC! I really prefer Castle.

I agree HL should carry Castle products. HL does not have a good affordable line of controllers to compete with the ThunderBird line. Also Berg RX's are fantastic. Yes we can but them elsewhere but I like to save on shipping costs when ordering a complete plane.

Jeti is as good or better than anything else out there. HL does not need CC!

Jeti is as good or better than anything else out there. HL does not need CC!Castle has the USB programmer and better pricing. ECO 18 is $45, Tbird 18 is $30, Tbird 36 is $40. I used Bishop as the price comparison.
