Hobby Works

Went in with the intent to buy a phantom 3. Employee was too busy shooting the breeze with a buddy to even acknowledge my presence. After 20 minutes and multiple attempts to get his and the manager’s attention, walked out. Just lost a guaranteed $ 1300 purchase and my future business. Find somewhere else to spend your money folks.

We own two quadcopters (Proto X FPV and a Blade 350 QX3), and both needed repair. One needed a simple sodering job because the wire got loose, and the other had two random cracks that seemed dangerous and wanted to see if we could get repaired.
The first trip we only took the Proto X, which needed sodering. This was a Monday. They said that the guy who does sodering only comes Wednesday-​Sunday. The man was very polite.
The second trip we took both, and explained our issues with both of them. This was a Thursday. There was one guy who tried to sell us the part (really marked up compared to online by the way) without actually repairing it (which involved removing the entire body and replacing several different parts at the same time; something we are not experienced with nor have the tools for).
This particular guy when we were explaining the coincidental cracks in the drone (which ACTUALLY could have been shipping damage; since it was brand new) very rudely pulled out his drone and said the following, «I’ve had this drone for three years and I haven’t crashed it, I only took the body off to paint it.» So heres the thing with that: the drone in question had never crashed.
Overall, terrible service. I would not recommend this shop.

Very cool store. Models ranging from $ 7.00 to $ 300 of all kinds. Planes, ships, cars, and trains… you name it they probably have a model for it. Make and Model also matters.
We’re taking note of this place because this is a great place to get Christmas gifts for the smart kids in your family. Puzzles and creative toys are always a good choice for the smarty kids (and adults) and this is definitely a good place for it.
Ladies if you are not feeling like you want to talk nerdy. There is a cute boutique next door with some adorable hats and classy outfits to look at.

I’m fairly new to the RC Plane hobby, and I’m very happy that I found this shop… they are very friendly and helpful.
They have a decent inventory of planes, copters and vehicles, typically what you would find at Horizon Hobby’s website, and they carry spare parts and repair products for the RC items they carry. They also carry various other stuff, like metal detectors, slot cars and train sets.
I like to support local businesses when practical, but they seldom can compete with the ease, convenience and price of the internet, but this shop prices their items to compete, and it’s great to have their experience and knowledge available to help make the right purchase decision. It’s nice to drive home with my purchase instead of waiting for the item to arrive in the mail, while hoping that the item arrives as described.

This is an excellent little shop for trains, remote controlled vehicles, kites, models, and model rockets. I have also bought toys, and balsa wood and glue for projects there. Service is great, although a little more focused on the RC vehicles these days. Last Christmas eve they did an emergency solder repair on a train controller for me — free! Above and beyond service.

When I was a kid I had many hobbies and interest. I loved miniatures of everything from model planes, model trains, model cars, model rockets to model boats, all creating a little world that I controlled an imitation of adult life. So places like hobby stores allow me to dream of one day living the adult adventures tale, as I grew a little older I found building models to be an artistic medium much like painting on canvas. I no longer build models no time or patience to try to put that ship in a bottle.
Remote controlled cars, airplanes, helicopters, boats, always held my interest even to this day I guess I still have an inner child in me. So why not these things are really cool lots of fun. If I am handed a remote control to something you will see a big smile form on my face and I’m having a blast I deserve to have some fun. And Hobby Works is one of those types of places to find all of you inner kid. Lots of things here to keep someone occupied young and old alike but not too young. Hobby Works have mostly models but they have and a number of remote controlled helicopters, planes, cars etc mostly for young-​ins cause the prices on those are not that expensive. People have spent thousands of dollars for the real deal remote controlled vehicles those are the ones you don’t want you Lil tike playing with. However I did not see any of those expensive grown people toys there. Great selection of models large and very very small again aimed more at older kids or adults. So really this place is for people who hobbies include building and painting scale models miniatures this is not for little ones, that’s why Toys R Us had been invented.
So go ahead take a look around the staff there is encouraging and helpful. Admire their models that they have on display cause it is a real art form. One that demands attention to detail, patience and a zen like peaceful state that comes with putting one of these little works of art together. They also carry a nice line of wood and marble chess/​checker game sets and other items such as model paint, books and everything that you would need for this type of hobby. Nice little place to get lost in for a short time.
