Shop employees have been very non informative as they sell and they have led me to a purchase that has been a disappointment. I would rather have been sold on 1 big rig rather than the two rigs your employee guided me to witch has lived up to not one thing that he said it could do. And now I'm stuck can't even trade in for what I said I was looking for and lives up to the expectation they just sell me then I'm stuck.

Best Hobby Shop I have ever been to, and here is why! -MORE STOCK of RC Trucks and Planes than any other Hobby Shop I have been to, -BEST PRICES on Horizon and Eflite planes are cheaper than online. -STAFFING IS FRIENDLY, The Owner & Staff are very friendly and knowledgeable about what they have to sell and offer help. Makes for a great experience. -LOCATION is great because its easy to find and not far off the highway. Also in a good area and parking is easy to. Keep up the good work Randy & Team!

I appreciate your response. It was under Dennis Maynard. I believe what you found is ours. It was ran for maybe 30 minutes before he brought it in. I'm amending my review. We'll get a hold of you tomorrow. Thank you so much and I apologize for the misunderstanding

Number one recommended hobby shop I go too . Always feel like a big kid walking in there. Friendly staff. Go there so much they know me by name. Don't go to the other hobbyshop in Riverside on harshman rd. Terrible just terrible. The Hobby shop by Dayton mall again great place. Anything you need from board games, radio control hobby grade cars, trucks, air planes, and trains and slot cars. You name they got it. If you new to the hobby the staff will guide you to get started.

If I could give this place 6 stars, I would. They have pretty much anything you'd want RC wise and the staff is very helpful and friendly. This is probably my favorite store. The pictures are of the RC cars themselves, but they have all the replacement parts as well.

This place is great! I love coming here. Very friendly and helpful staff. Huge selection. Prices are very competitive and ALWAYS beat online chain stores. They even have a great racing program. I've bought several slot cars, and Rc trucks/ cars and couldn't be happier. GET OUT AND SUPPORT A SMALL BUSINESS

Guys there were pretty helpful, second time ever being there/first time buying stuff for a project just went to check it out. Both people there walked me all around the 2 "halves" of the store one being electrical stuff and the other is more diecast and diorama oriented. All being said very happy with the experience and will be back for more supplies. Thanks guys.

I love going to The Hobby Shop but my wallet doesn't. Perfect for all your RC needs along with other hobbies like models and slot cars.

They have a decent selection, and prices are okay. but the reason I will never go back was the customer service. the guy behind the RC counter was extremely unhelpful, but also one of the more arrogant/rude people I've met. will not suggest this place to anyone, will actually tell people to avoid this place.

Outstanding service when you visit this business. Very knowledgeable employees willing to answer all your questions and assist with finding exactly what you need or are looking for. I was waited on by this very polite and knowledgeable young man with glasses and blonde hair. If you see him ask him for help. He knows what he's talking about. All the employees do for that fact. Well done
