  Found the holy grail of faomy gliders here! I've been looking for a Radian XL forever and happened to find it here! Great hobbyshop for ANYTHING RC. Super helpful with anything you need and will actually call around to see if other shops have something you need but he doesn't. So refreshing to find a REAL hobbyshop!

  Bob was amazing with his attention to detail, especially with teaching someone who’s new to RC cars and wanting to make sure I get the best possible experience with my first one, ARRMA Senton, and appreciate his honesty.

  Called in to clarify a shipping matter. The owner answers the phone takes care of me right there on the spot. Not too many businesses you can call and the owner picks up and then provides a service that is up and above most businesses today 10 out of 10 for me.

  First time buyer. No prior knowledge this place existed. So glad google exists.. If you are in the market for anything RC related please support this store online or go in person!! It felt like a dream. Just completed a 240 mile round trip to meet Bob and check it out. Not only did he have the exact HPI WR8 in stock that I was looking for. He took the time to really get my son and I who are novices started up and burning some nitro. Amazing customer service you don't find often in this world anymore. Felt like we made a new friend more than a purchase! Will be back, and will be ordering more online! Love the Shop app integration! Long story short: I got better service here than when I spend 5 figures on a real car!

  If you’re new to the hobby or getting back into it after years away, Bob is the guy you want to talk to. It’s been a long time since I last ran a nitro RC car, and now that my son is getting interested, I needed a crash course to get back up to speed. Bob went above and beyond, taking the time to explain everything thoroughly and making sure we understood each step before heading out. His knowledge is incredible, and he has a way of teaching that makes the hobby fun and approachable. What really stood out was that he never tried to sell us things we didn’t need. He was focused on helping us succeed and enjoy the hobby. Even while juggling multiple customers, answering questions, and working on other vehicles, he stayed patient, attentive, and helpful. Because of Bob, my son and I were able to hit the ground running and start creating memories together. Great customer service, genuine passion, and top-notch knowledge—exactly what every hobby shop should strive for.
