RC Hobby Barn

Great place in town to get RC equipment.

RC Hobby Barn is our local hobby shop in Huntsville and might well be the premier hobby shop in the entire Southeast. The place is HUGE. If they don’t have it in stock, you probably don’t need it. I visit hobby shops wherever I go and haven’t seen one yet that compares.
They specialize in RC planes, helicopters, boats, and cars, but also carry a full line of trains, slot cars, rockets, models, supplies, — you name it. The prices are competitive enough that I have never felt compelled to order anything on-​line. I just go there, try one out, and bring it home that very same day with all my concerns addressed — a very rare thing in today’s ‘on-​line oriented’ marketplace.
There is always someone who is very knowledgeable to answer questions and provide technical help — usually with on-​the-​spot service for the ‘little’ things. While other places act as though you are a nuisance if you need advice, the folks at RC’s have always bent over backwards to keep me informed and my stuff working perfectly. They truly believe that a happy customer is a repeat customer as far as I can tell. Saturdays are usually very busy though, so try to go on another day for advice or instant service if you can. All perks are available on weekends too, but patience is sometimes mandatory.
And parts! Man, do they carry parts. Anything I have ever bought has been backed-​up with a complete line of parts and accessories, IN STOCK AND READY FOR PURCHASE! I have dabbled in RC stuff for over 20 years and have NEVER had to special order anything — RC’s has it. This, more than anything else, is what truly sets them apart. That and the fact that, while several other places have come and gone, opened closed and reopened, RC’s has always been here in the same location and ready to serve me.
If you have even a fleeting interest in serious ‘big boy toys’, you owe yourself a visit to RC Hobby Barn while in Huntsville, AL. I think you will agree that we are very lucky to have them here.
