HotShotRC Raceway and Hobbystore

This place is GREAT! I take my boys there as much as possible. The staff are very helpful and full of RC knowledge. The rentals are perfect for kids and adults. You can also bring your own. Try it and you will be hooked!

Plum District had a 50% off deal so I gave this place a try. The coupon suggested calling first. My friend called a few weeks earlier and was told no reservations were needed. I called 9 am on the Saturday morning we were going and left a message. It was about an hour drive from Duluth to the far side of Marietta so I doubt we will go back.
We were 2 moms with two boys aged 8 & 10 and one little girl, 7. I think the dads would have really enjoyed it and I don’t suggest younger kids as hand eye co ordination is a must!
When we arrived there were 2 men & 1 little boy racing. One of the men was the owner and his son was the little boy. The owner came to the counter and gave us a hard time for not calling first. When I told him I did and had left a message he said he hadn’t check his messages yet. (It was now 11:30 am)
He told us he was closing at 2 for a party, we said we would be gone before that. Imagine a giant warehouse with a track set up for radio controlled cars. Half is for experts that race for speed, we didn’t go near that side. We were on the off road side, you can’t go fast but boy can you have fun! It takes about 1 hour to get the hang of the trigger and the wheel to steer and really makes you slow down and think about what you are doing. I love making myself and my son concentrate on something that isn’t a screen!
The cars came off the tracks alot and the owner’s son help put them back for awhile, then we helped and the kids did it themselves. Having them run around was an added bonus.
In the front of the store they sell all kinds of build it yourself radio controlled cards, trucks, helicopters, etc.
This is a great place for a boy’s birthday party especially if you are in Cobb County!
