I think there is a little hobby shop near Yangjae Station that has...something. I've never been inside, but I used to see guys outside driving R/C cars on occasion.
Not much to go on, but I hope it's better than nothing.
Update:
A quick web search mentioned several shops in Yangjae and many more throughout Seoul. Check this website:
http://korearc.com/main.html
It has a list of hobby shops in Seoul. |

One of the best shops in in Youngsan near the electronics market. They have a website
http://www.buyrc.co.kr
Another good website is Master Hobby.
http://www.master-hobby.co.kr
Prices are high compared to the USA. i only buy stuff here if I am in a pinch and don't want to wait the ten days it takes to order off of Ebay. Prices for rc stuff is about double here.
What kind of stuff you into?
I am new to the hobby and meet witha few other guys regularly to run our Rcs
.
I have a Traxxas Summit and stampede. My friends are into crawlers and race cxars. |
