For those of you who are new or the ones that are lazy taking phone numbers.. very happy

I know almost everyone here get their stuff from the net especially through JJ Dubshop.
But some of us can't stand the itch of just walking around a hobby shop hoping to have something in a bag (or a box) when we go out.
Not yet complete as of now but will be updated in time.
If you have the contact numbers of other hobby shops in Dubai or in other Emirates, please post it here and I will update this thread as needed. If any errors are noted, please post the correct ones.

Thanks. thumbs_up

Hi all. Does anybody know where to find parts for the Chinese versions of the real thing? I have a Hai Bo Xing (HBX) Tigershark 1:8 nitro 4x4. The model number is 3318A. I broke an upper control arm in the front suspension a few weeks ago and can't seem to find anybody who sells the parts... the part number is 3318-T009 and it's the same for front and rear.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I see you are based in Qatar, the internet is your best bet here, although I believe the clones are notoriously difficult to get parts for. One of the main reasons to avoid them in the first place....
I know in Dubai that RC corner on the above list, had some of the Hai Bo Xing cars...

Hi Cathurga. Yes, I've been scouring the internet for two weeks. There are wholesalers in Australia and the UK and they've directed me to one or two retailers, but so far I've had no success. I found one eBay seller who seems to have a source and does drop-shipping... That's ok, except for one thing - I know that my car came from Dubai. I just need to find the right model shop.

I called Hobbies Zone today and am expecting a reply by email at some point. A friend of mine will be in Dubai soon and I'm hoping to locate the parts before the 27th.

Hoping for some leads... Anyone?
