PurpleRC is based in the Northwest Arkansas area and here are some dealers we recommend that are local to us.
Hobby Shops such as these are a great way to get into RC, and expand your knowledge. We highly recommend purchasing models and parts through a dealer; this will give you an opportunity to consult with someone who is experienced in the hobby and make a choice that meets your preferences. Dealers are also a great place to go when you have a damaged or broken RC that needs repair. Most dealers keep common parts on hand and can typically assist in the repair.
