I was at the park with a buddy and his Nitro truck. His truck developed an issue and I Google mapped RC trucks and found this place.Staff was helpful af. Patient as all get out and they were great to deal with so close to their closing time too.Indoor track looks lots of fun.Bathroom was clean and their dog was cute.They seem like the small shop local guys youd love to know.Great place.

Track is awesome, people are awesome, what an experience! I had a motor burn up on my old slash and they had a replacement on hand. I was able to get my slash back on the track in short order! Definitely coming back!

They have a nice indoor clay track that develops a nice high traction line. My two teenage boys and I go here often to practice. Sundays are great for the kids, Tuesdays are great for the adults. Show up early Tuesday for the least amount of traffic on the track. The hobby store has a lot of items in stock.

Great place to race or just practice and havefun, everyone who works there are very friendly and willing to help you out or answer any questions if you may have.Very knowledgeable about all forms of RC and every area of it.The track is clay and kept in good order. The pit areas are great, lots of room plus plenty of power outlets for you to use even or race day.The hobby shop is well stocked for any kind of RC stuff, plus if they dont have it in stock they will ordered it for you.The prices are very competitive with everyone else, sometimes you will find that they will beat online pricing.I have been going here for well over 6 years now and have never had a bad time.They change out the track layout regular basis to keep it interesting.If you are interested in driving on a track, I think you will not be disappointed coming here.

Just left dirt burners for the first time a bunch of awesome people in there my first experience there was very cool. I thought I dropped some money in there so I came back in the guys were very cool and very honest and they let me watch the cameras with them to make sure that my money was not dropped in their store and if it was they would help me find it long story short I did not drop my money in their store overall a very pleasant experience! Also just bought a brand new Traxxas hoss for 400 bucks

Having moved out of the state of Michigan 2 years ago, I took for granted Ed and the Dirt Burners Staff, I have been getting back into the hobby again and the Shops in Indiana dont supply or have what I need. I drive 2 hours up to Michigan when i need something and Ed always supports what I need. Dirt Burners and there staff are top notch!

Best place to go hands down... after being out of rcing for 10 years they have helpful staff to help choose whats best for you. even the owner will do anything to get you going within reason. wont shop anywhere else

Review №21

1/10 2wd is very prevalent here, but the track can also easily handle 1/8. The staff are friendly and the shop is steps from the track. Tires for all classes are easily accessible, and the stock room is quite large and offers parts for TLR, AE, and others. Looks like theyre also hardcore Sanwa and Tekin suppliers, which is great. A great destination because the track is open every day. Track is indoors and is pure clay

Review №22

Fair prices and a fun environment. They have parts, toys and snacks as well. A place to drive your stuff and charging and work areas at no additional charge. Its a great place. Just call ahead to make sure the track is open if you just want to bash. Sometimes they have events booked.

This was the first time I have ever been to the track and my first time driving an RC car. Everyone there was very supportive and I picked up a few tips along the way. I was very pleased with how helpful the staff was! Overall an amazing experience. I cant wait to go back!

Review №37

Indoor track, so weather is never an issue,prices of parts and vehicles are very competitive to online (within a reasonable margin considering overhead and costs to run a facility etc) so it supports a local shop and keeps repairs/upgrade costs fairly priced and locally available. Offers repairs, and RC rental which goes towards purchase of a new vehicle in future, which is a nice touch, track gets changed up every 6-8 weeks to keep things fresh. The few times Ive been in here, have enjoyed my time and had a great experience.

Just bought a B6D CR kit from Ed. He was very helpful and knowledgeable. He took the time to explain what each product offered allowing me to make a confident decision. I look forward to coming back and racing soon!

Review №46

Track is awesome, cheap ($5 for an hour or two, $10 for all day), friendly drivers, challenging layout. Good clay compound that is really well taken care of. 5/5 for sure!Shop is meh, super friendly knowledgeable shaft with a lot of parts, but NEVER the parts I need. They seem to only stock the new racer based parts, which is understandable but frustrating. 3/5

Review №47

Great service the owner is a great guy and if you have rc cars i would rather go here than a world wide best track in america souly on the fact that everyone here is nice and is willing to share parts and help you fix your car if it breaks. Ex. Someone I know broke his servo and a guy just handed him a spare servo (it wasnt a guy working there) and he was cool about it and didnt have us pay him even though he bought it with his own money. Great people great service 10+ stars.

Review №48

The track is the main reason to go here. My first trip to RC clay track racing and I was very impressed. With 17 years of “real” motorcycle racing experience you will be surprised at the intensity and competitiveness evident here.There’s a lot to learn as you should expect as it is highly technical when you start learning the difference between classes, the massive amounts of differences in performance parts and setup. Recommend an approach that uses a notebook to record what you learn, bringing home 3-5 key learnings each race.The people are very friendly and very willing to help share knowledge. Keep in mind I have never driven an RC vehicle and attend to help my son who seems to have a talent for this so my knowledge base for RC was at zero.The part I enjoy is the racing part. There my years of experience do bring some value. So if you’ve a Motorsports background I highly recommend spending a day observing the races and the open pits. I think you might find yourself surprised as I did.

I went in there for my first time recently with my 2yo daughter and my losi 8ight. I paid 7 dollars for 6 laps since my rc overheated for being too tall (not their fault) I bought the new pinion and my old one was so stripped we couldnt get it off. They helped me to the nitty gritty and did all in their power to help, and they seemed genuine in their interest of helping me. The people that were there racing were awesome to talk to. The track is pretty awesome for new users as well as experienced. Ive yet to race instead of practice, but Im excited to see what the future brings, even if I end up dead last! Great place, best Ive seen so far for anything hobby related.
