I’ve been to all of the Nankin shops and the thing that has always impressed me is the staff. They are all knowledgeable in so many areas and always willing to help you out. And they willingly we try to locate what you need at either one of their four stores, a supplier or even a competitor. Ypsi has been my go to store since it opened and is one of the main reasons I’ve stayed in the RC hobby. They are the best!

That building you shot this video in, was originally one of the best hardware stores in the area. If you took a part from a washing machine, or a lawnmower, or what ever, they would have a replacement that would work. Very knowledgeable guys that worked there. Now, it's a similar experience, only with the hobby industry. My only complaint, is that they opened, just after I moved from that area.
