I need a charger for a RC battery. I want it today. Does anybody know any high street shops which stock them? It's a simple thing - a lead with a USB connection one end and another connector at the other end.
I could get it easily from the internet but I want it today so I want a bricks-and-mortar that stocks such things. Who would that be? - toy shop, electrical store, specialist RC supplier?? Has anybody ever bought one? Help!

A hobby shop that sells RC cars will probably have one. The kind of place that also sells Hornby and Airfix.

A large toy shop might, but they don't always have spare parts.

Thanks safari.
Of course sods law says that the nearest specialist shop doesn't open on a Saturday. What sort of toy shop doesn't open on a Saturday!?Shock

Maplins still exists but is online-only now. One of the local DIY shops said they had one but it wasn't the correct charger. I've admitted defeat.Sad
I'll have to get it from the local specialist shop on Monday and post it on.
