I use to frequent this shop as its the closest to my home, however I have sworn off going to this shop after a few incedences. First is the staff is not all as knowledgeable as they should be, making recommendations that benefit the shop over the customer. They would rather sell more parts over helping you get back into action on a reasonable budget recommending replacing all parts even where repairing is an option. Second is the fact that the staff is discouraging to females getting into "their hobbies". I caught a staff member making fun of a customer for ordering a pink wheelie bar for an RC car for his daughter, which in my book is just unacceptable. Lastly is they are not reliable and often are closed before their posted closing time, including one day when I called about an hour before they closed knowing it took me almost 30 minutes to get there to confirm they would be open. When I got there the shop was closed almost 25 minutes before the time I confirmed with the employee over the phone. I would much rather drive a bit farther to a better shop with friendlier more competent staff. Not to mention their rc selection is very limited and unless you are looking specifically for Traxxas parts they most likely wont be in stock.

I read the previous review and had to write one as I wondered if they were talking about the same shop! Which is one worth driving miles to by the way. Ive phoned before when running late and theyve stayed open 5 mins to accommodate me, not once have I arrived to find it closed early.They stock a wide range of RC brands not just Traxxas, and carry a very large range of general RC items inc tires, bodies, batteries, chargers, gears, radio equipment etc. all of which are essential once youve bought an RC car I assuem they carry a wide range of Traxxas spares for good reason - its the best selling brand in the RC world, therefore its common sense theyre going to stock a lot of their spares! Its many peoples go to place for advice as its good advice. If they say something needs replacing nor repairing it needs replacing! Most RC repairs involve replacing a broken bit with a new one. I will drive miles to get good advice like this shop offers. The personal touch is something you cant get by buying online

Pretty great place! Went twice, and both times I was very pleased. The guys that worked there seemed nice, and I was able to find the things I was looking for (mainly looking at HO scale vehicles and model cars). Also, the store was organized like small dead end aisles, which make it easier to find what group you are looking for. I would go more often if it wasnt a forty minute drive from me!

As hobbyshops are a dying breed this visit was a very pleasant surprise. Very good inventory given the square footage. Very pleasant, helpful and friendly fellow at the counter. Highly recomended

Super friendly staff and very fair. I took my son there and he loved it. He went to get parts for his RC car and he would have spent the rest of the day looking at the models and trains.
