Theres a place down near the bottom end of the bus station called antics web site here;

http://www.rccarsandtrucks.co.uk/

Theres also a ModelZone on the lower floor opposite HMV. Theres a model shop in Aldershot called Concorde Models at the top end of the one way system but I have't been in there in years so I'm not sure if they would do what you are after.

i found apex quite snotty (although they really know thier stuff) but kevs have always been really helpful to me. don't race any more but they never let me down.

don't buy it online to save a few quid, that's why model shops are dying out! you are bound to need help or advice at some point, seems a bit of a piss-take to go in and say "i bought this on line, how does it work?"

i know, because i get this 20 f#cking times a day at work!
