Really sad to hear the news. You had a really good website and great shop which will be sorely missed. Good luck with what you do in the future.

Oh cock.

If the shops at my club didn't have what I needed, I could always rely on you guys to have it in stock, with quick delivery and some free sweets.

Sorry to see you go chaps - you've been a real help over the years - good luck in your next ventures

Surprised and gutted, always considered you to be one of the "Big 3" UK R/C shops along with DMS Racing& MB Models.

My wife got addicted to Harribo through you

Such a great shame.

Thanks for helping popularise the Kyosho brand by always having such great stocks and service.

On a personal note you guys have looked after me brilliantly over the years, never been disapointed in anyway and the on phone banter will be sadly missed too.

The cost of living has gone up so people are tightening they belts in. So hobbies are the first thing to stop and also people buying from abroad and not supporting uk shops like they used to.

It's always a shame when a shop shuts. Sorry to hear guys.

Sorry to hear about you guys closing down. Many thanks for supporting TORCH in the early revival days.

I've cut my spending back on RC, sold off a lot of kit, but haven't repurchased etc.

Also about to kill of sky - mainly due to junk on. I just want my money to go further elsewhere.

Unfortunately I can't remember last time I spent money on a high street, but may also add I'm not spending it online much either. Online shop = Sainsburys and that's about it.

Cost of living needs to come down! I've been looking at moving since June and my house value has gone up by £10k since then. Shame my taxes or stamp duty aren't!! Come on get real!
