Action Hobby Canada

One day, I decided to fulfill a childhood dream. I became determined to purchase an awesome radio controlled vehicle. I was convinced this would become the center of my entertainment world. I would use it daily, I told myself. It would be, awesome.
And so I arrived at Action Hobby, ready to purchase my DuraTrax Evader EXT. For those not familiar with the world of R/​C, the Evader is one of the most successful lines of electric radio controlled vehicles. They are very popular due to their ability to take a beating and the relative cheap pricing and easy availability of parts.
Action Hobby has a large selection of items and carries an impressive collection of different parts. Although I already knew what I wanted, I took a look around anyway and found a host of items I would gladly purchase if I had a money tree in my backyard.
The folks at Action Hobby were very helpful, even offering me advice on battery options and maintenance. They were equally helpful when I returned a few short weeks later to replace an axle that was destroyed during a small accident with a parking slab (at full speed, I clipped a back tire on the slab).
As for the truck, it was awesome! With a top speed around 30 km/​h, this thing is no slouch. For an electric, it’s about as fast as you can find.
Has it become the center of my entertainment world? Alas, it has not. Shortly after moving into our new house, which is directly behind huge lots of undeveloped land, I broke a small gear and haven’t had time to replace it. But don’t worry, this spring I will use it, hopefully for more than a day (ah, boys and our toys).
