Back when we had a lhs my buddy was the manager. I used to hang out there after work and tinker with stuff. After most of the regulars realized I could tune a nitro I had plenty of them bringing their trucks in. I would teach them the basics. I bet I sold dozens of vehicles for the owners that way. Once the guys could tune a nitro they would always buy at least one more.
I also helped out in the service dept, the store charged 20 per hr plus parts, and my buddy got half of that. He hooked me up with stuff at cost since I would do most of the work. I changed alot of jato rear bulkheads, and alot of maxx bulks and arms too.
I got to play with almost everything on the market while tuning. It was alot of fun, especially since the rc owners always payed for fuel.
I fixed and converted a few electrics, but the main sellers were xl5 pedes and rustys, and those hardly ever break. Changed alot of diffs in rc18t/mts, we sold castle there and those little 8000kv mamba systems were very popular.
Good times, wish I was back there....
