I drive the #*&@ out of my Traxxas rc truck and am always breaking something and The Hobby Shop has always had the parts I need in stock.

Went there looking for a train set. Infound one for 149.99. When I went to check out inwas told it was now 199.00 but still marked 149.00. That’s called a bait and switch. They would not honor there price. They said it was a year old and cost more now. Sad I loved that place and have spent thousands of dollars there.

Very helpful staff, my son and I were looking for components to finish up a model boat and add RC. They helped us find the drive shaft and prop as well as the radio equipment that we needed.

I love going here, they have absolutely something for your every hobby need. I was disappointed this visit however to find that they no longer sell real trains and Playmobil toys. That was a disappointment to me I hope that they're able to expand their space and offer hobbies for children again.

Too niche anymore. I recently went after not going for quite some time. I used to go there years ago and see walls of model kits. It just seems like that's been abandoned for the specific items involved with rc cars, drones, etc. I miss old hobby shops that featured lots of product. Their Gundam selection was hardly better than Hobby Lobby. I'll use them I guess as a good (really only in the area) source for hobby paints when I don't want to wait a week for online shopping, but I hardly see a reason to frequent them.

This is so hard for me to write this review but I think it should be public what I experienced. I will say that I have found the employees to be helpful and wonderful prior to this situation and was really, truly surprised. I purchased 2 RC Trucks, batteries, extra bodies, chargers and lots of extra parts. About $1000 bucks. From the start, I was having problems with my LiPo battery and Charger for my Granite truck. Took the charger and battery in, was told I was sold the wrong charger. They exchanged for one that "would work", no questions asked. OK, cool, but why was I sold the wrong charger ? With the new,correct charger, the LiPo battery lasted 10 charges. 3 cells dead. Went back and was told I needed the receipt to exchange the battery, that these "generation 1" Spektrum LiPo batteries had known issues and worst case, they "may not accept the return" and I would have to contact the manufacturer. I went home, got the receipt and brought it back when the young lady told me it was out of warranty, and they couldn't do anything for me. I purchased it in April. It was cycled just 10 times. Their receipt clearly stats the 30-day return policy, but both of the sales folks noted that these batteries had "problems". I was told that any battery with a green dot was supposedly tested and approved, but obviously that did not work in my case. The battery is dead. Then why sell them? I asked to see a manager and was told she was a manager. Now I have a car we can't drive, and I'll wait on Spektrum to see if they warrant it. Ebay, Amazon etc. would have allowed the return of a defective product, which this clearly is, and the issues were known. (While I love the convenience of these sties, I will buy local due to the assistance and help you usually get from your local hobby stores). Do your research and be careful buying a Spektrum battery here. I'll post later if Spektrum sends me a new one, but what a hassle. (Their site says be patient, they are receiving a high number of claims, service traffic). Like I said, this is a tough review to write as I have been impressed with their employee's passion and the willingness to help in the past.

Possibly the largest, most diverse hobby shop that I've been in since I was a kid. Planes, trains and automobiles... and a whole lot more. This is a great father/son shopping experience. Great variety and depth.

Bought my very first RC truck, a traxxas slash. They were very helpful and answered all my questions to get me exactly what I wanted. They never tried to upsale me or try to get me buy anything extra. Very professional, thank you so much, I'm loving my traxxas.

Pretty good large hobby shop in the Dayton area. Odd are they will have what you need, but for whatever reason Traxxas parts were pretty low in stock during my visit. Everyone there is willing to answer any questions you have.

Look, I'll give you guys five stars, but we seriously gotta make a deal. You stop letting my husband come in all the time and I won't cut his hobby allowance down so far . ?? Just kidding...we are both spending too much money here now.Not sure how we have gone so long without knowing about this place! It's so much more than RC cars. This is a great place for lovers of tabletop games, models, and more! Obviously coming back for more soon!
