Default Hobby shops in MA?

Anybody know of any Hobby shops in Central MA or southern NH?

Looking for stuff like RC cars, models like completed diecast ones, and plastic glue ones too.

Thanks in advance.

I think there is one on the Tyngsboro/Nashua line. On Daniel Webster highway across from the Pheasant Lane mall and Smokey Bones restaurant there is a strip mall with a cinema. The hobby shop is close to the Outback Steakhouse.

There's a couple good places for the R/C stuff that I know of that aren't too far from you. There's a place in york maine, maximus hobby and raceway, they are right off exit 7 off I 95, right over the bridge into maine, and a place in enfield Ct, alot farther away, but really good R/C madness, (860) 741-6501. They will ship anything, adn deal with tons of stuff, prices are pretty good too. www.rcmadness.com

There is a HobbyTown USA in Plaistow NH, just over MA border. Last year they sold me a R/C Electric airplane for just a tad over $200. I flew it for 6 minutes the first time out, no instruction. Damn that thing kept going, and going, and going, thaty was the last time I saw it, lol.

I know of a few great hobby shops but they are in the Taunton/Fall River area....that's where I used to get all my nitro car supplies.

Cool thanks.

Yeah I am looking into getting a Nitro truck in the spring and I wanted to see what kinds of places I could find for fuel, parts, etc.

Plus I like picking up Diecast cars once in a while if i see something that catches my eye.
