Review №1

If I could 0 stars I would. Drove an hour away and spent $1700 one day. Was told I “earned” $80 in store credit with their rewards program. They told me I couldn’t use my “rewards” until the next day. So I drove an hour away again the next day to use my “rewards”. After they rang me up, told me I could only use $5 of my rewards a day. Extremely unhappy after reading the sign on the door that clearly states “Every $100 spent, Earn $5 on your next purchase.” And the clerk who clearly knew my intentions of coming back the next day to use it, didn’t seem to care about my unhappiness. Very displeased and will not be back. Will be contacting Traxxas directly about this “dealer.”

Excellent customer service!Ordered a servo upgrade for my first RC truck and product shipped fast. Had problems with USPS missing the delivery date and not updating the tracking for days. Contacted Hobby - Sports and they took care of the issues promptly to help me get things running again. Very impressed with customer service and will use them again.

I love this store. This place has just about anything you could need, and if they don’t have it they can order it. From advice given or services provided, hobby-sport.com is amazing. Justin is the person I have had the most experience with and he has gone above and beyond to help me in numerous ways. 10/10 would recommend!

Review №23

I could sit here and write a drawn out review with all the praises I have for this place. But I wont, all I can really say is Justin is the man! He continually gets me squared away with anything and everything whenever I go in. From answering a plethora of questions, to immediately placing orders if needed and assistance with problems I have run into. Honesty is another plus, he could have taken advantage of my lack of knowledge and sold me the expensive stuff I grab everytime, but he doesnt. He educates you into making the best decision for you. Go there and experience for yourself.

Great staff!Visited about three times before making a purchase and was met with a very friendly attitude each time. Brought my children and they were very patient with all the silly questions (both from the kids and I). Ultimately left with a great product that I can continue to expand IF my son decides to stick with this hobby.If you head up there ask for Justin. He took amazing care of us and even offered to bring his own personal cars in for my kids to see. Can’t say enough about his great service. (Pretty cool dude too!)

Review №45

The customer service was extremely friendly and went out of their way to help customers. If you are a fan of RC Cars, trucks, tracked vehicles, race cars, etc., then this is your place. There are a few RC airplanes but it is definitely not their focus which I can understand since RC flying takes a lot more to get into. Consider patronizing the local hobby stores before you shop online. The employees are more than happy to help you find what youre looking for, and if you are new they can help guide you in getting into the world of RC.

Not impressed by ownership. salespeople are good, but if you have an issue, the customer will be last and the owner will be very focused on his own pennies instead of yours. beware of deep sale price items, theres a reason the price is so low and they will not want to take it back if theres an issue.selection is good, prices are too.

Four of us took our kids here after a Cub Scout event, at a local museum just north on Portage Rd. Had a nice experience. Found all the Pinewood Derby supplies we would ever need. Lots of modeling supplies available; balsa, kits, etc. Small selection of toys, and a ton of RC options in every shape, size, and variety. I feel bad for RC enthusiasts. Your pocket books must ache.
