A Main Hobbies is behind the controls of a winning company

A radio-controlled car fan in Dubai is a regular customer of a Chico Internet business that's also a favorite among troops in Iraq.

Radio control devices are frequently used by terrorists to build bombs. Who knows how many times this companies products have been used this way.

You bozo's make me laugh!
Just ask Your Uncle Sam people! It's happening now
in your community. Right now down at Beale Air Force Base right now as I type this. Guys with epaulets on there shoulders are flying planes in Afghanistan, Pakistan right now. Not with R/C gear but with Satellites transmitters & receivers.
R/C can't hold enough explosives to do any harm!
I know!

[Good Grief]

OMG,.. I should have know the first comment on here would be something not only negative.. but completely out there. I think this is GREAT that this place is doing so well. It seems like they do so well because they offer a good product, have good customer relations and appreciate their employees. This is the kind of business we should all be supporting and I'm going to have to go check it out just for GP! Way to rock it guys - keep up the good work!

A Main rocks we just love the employees there. They are friendly and knowlegeable and don't mind spending time with their customers. Tell me how many stores do that? we started out with a Redcat racer. And with the help of JP we now own 6 different cars. That we have a blast with every weekend. Now we are thinking about racing them for fun. I am glad we have such a great hobby shop here in Chico.

the people who talk about terrorists are correct. actually the FBI has visited A Main Hobbies because of this threat. Johnson is right although it sounds funny. Half this article lacks factual basis anyhow. I went to their store and heard the guy behind the counter loudly cussing and carrying on with someone while kids were in the store..

He meant using the remotes as triggers mostly. They have also atated they us RC cars with a small charge to set off a larger charge. Not sure how that works and not going to be stupid enough to go searching on how lol.

But its mostly burying the bomb and using a cell phone, wire, or rc car parts to trigger a bomb and thats not hard to do.

Talk about factual basis! The FBI has never visited A Main Hobbies, so I don't know where you got this information from.

And what specifically in the article do you think lacks factual basis? I would really like to know, considering I gave the interview and everything in there is factual (well, except they messed up my quote, and they also said we are going to franchise; not sure where that came from).
