Hangar 18 Hobbies

Fantastic Hobby Shop that has a nice selection of hobby parts along with a great and super nice staff that will be more then happy to order it for you if they dont have it in stock.
Bryan does a great job running his shop and they are always my first place to check for parts when I run my RC truck into a wall.
Definitely check them out!

Awesome place run by a guy that loves the hobby. Talk with him get advice and you may even see some f1-​fpv racers in there. This is now my hobby shop, forget ebay realy, you get way better quality for just a tinny tiny more. Well worth it.
Into fpv? He has you covered.
Into fixed wing? Yep plenty of it.
Want rc buggies or truggies? Got it.
Need some radio wire for a y connector? What size and color you want, he has it.
Need some off the wall part? Bet he has it or something that will work.
Batteries, esc, lights, flight controllers, wheels, frames … he has it.

My experience buying my Phantom 3 drone was great. Staff was great. When I went in there were folks painting small replicas, and others talking to the. It felt like a community. I was also impressed with their selection of parts and accessories.

While shopping around in the Triangle for a Traxxas Rustler, I came across Hangar 18 in Cary. And I’m glad, I did! NONE of the other «chain» stores had the latest model with a 2.4GHz remote available. The other stores even told me Traxxas doesn’t have it out yet!
Not being an R/​C veteran, I felt welcomed at Hangar 18. I found particular cool that not just the owner, but the other folks hanging out there gave me advice what to buy for my 11 year old! It felt like I walked into an R/​C-​club, where veterans are eager to share their experience!
After our son managed to get the settings messed up a week later, my wife swang by to have it looked at. Not only did they fix it, but gave our son advice in the do’s/don’ts of this particular model. Plus: My wife commented on how pleasant it was not being treated with an «what-​in-​the-​world-​does-​a-​girl-​in-​a-​hobby-​store» attitude!
Overall I can only recommend paying Hangar 18 a visit! After checking out the other stores this one stands out from the whole sales and customer service experience! Not for a moment did I feel they tried to «sell» me someting! This is a store for newbies like myself and veterans alike!

Cool «Hobby Shop»! I went in here to check on a gift for a friend? Me! I got my Geek Badge before I even knew about this place (yesterday)!
More than «Kits» ! If you wanted they can supply you with every part (even a «blank» slab of balsa and you could build a model from your wildest designs!
Got to see some Cool Remote control Helicopters (Very Quiet)! These were the first on this kind I have ever seen!
War-​o-​plenty! WAR to spare! Fans of WAR will enjoy!

Flames of War, Warhammer, Wings of War, cars, model rockets, model planes (some remote controlled). .. .
Hangar 18 has all the requisite things and game pieces you need for any of the above. If your hobby is model planes or cars, they’ll build or repair if you’d prefer to let someone else do it. They’ll even add the decals. If that’s not enough, in the corner, near the door, are the balsa self-​assemble airplanes I haven’t seen in longer than I care to remember. I didn’t know they still made them. Very cool.
Although it’s still a relatively new store, they have been holding events for Battle Tech and Flames of War (nothing’s on the upcoming calendar yet) if you’re a gamer. (There is a yahoo group for league play, though.) On the day I visited, there were maybe 4 or 5 other people in the store, debating battle tactics, while assembling cars or planes on the back tables and occasionally debating why superman needed to dodge bullets.
My inner geek really likes this place. A lot.
