Ridemakerz — Local services in Anaheim

I was very excited to come here from Az and was painfully disappointed. I knew I would be paying around 80 dollars for an RC version of my car but did not expect everything to be closer to 140 out the door. -65 for the RC car alone -16 for TWO pairs of wheels (they don’t sell them in a 4 pack so you have to buy TWO pairs at 8 dollars a piece) -16 for TWO pairs of custom tires (these don’t come with the wheels and again require you to buy TWO pairs) -25 for THREE total accessories -30 for a battery pack that would allow you to actually drift the car and use the turbo mode. (The turbo mode is basically useless when using AA batteries) I was okay with the purchase until I was told that the car would perform much worse when using my own batteries rather than the horribly upcharged battery back. Also yah, they don’t give you batteries. Just something else you have to pay for EVEN if you don’t buy the upcharged battery pack. I really felt like this whole shop was a just a gimmick to get you in the door and upcharge the heck out of you given that the price STARTS at 29 dollars and you’ll leave paying 5 times that. If they were more upfront with pricing and performance rather than saving it for the end when you’re questioning why your car doesn’t work as well as the ones they have on display, it might’ve been alright. Also yah, don’t expect your car to be as good as the ones they have out unless you’re willing to pay 30 dollars for a battery pack rather than supplying your own AA batteries. The store was empty when we visited so I hope they listen to their customers and make some changes to bring in business. I would argue that the 5 star average rating for this store does not reflect a majority of customers’ experiences. Would love to come back and maybe buy a car another time if they made...

If I could give negative 5 stars I would. This place is trash. Went in 6-21-25 to have my son build his own car. Was rushed through the building process then they put in a loaner battery to let my son try out his car. The kid that works there said he would need to take the battery out and refused to let me take it out. He then stripped the screw that holds the battery lid on. 6-22-25 the very next morning I called to tell them they stripped it out and I could not open to put battery in and use it. They told me they would give me partial credit for it? So my sons car has had 0 use and they refused to give a new one or refund my money. Trash place . I live 6 hours away and I'm going to drive Over there soon and if I have to take what is rightfully mine which is a working car I will do so if they...

We had a fantastic time! My kid saw Ridemakerz in a Handyman Hal YouTube video, so we decided to check it out. The top body of the cars are arranged on a huge wall for you to pick and choose . The chassis are common to all the models. You can choose standard or premium wheels, rims and accessories. My kid had a great time operating the power screw driver and assembling the chassis and the body. Lots of additional accessories were available to add. The customer service was top-notch—Paul was super enthusiastic and helpful super amazing with the kid. He took the time to teach my kid how to use everything so he could get the most out of his car. It made the experience even better. Highly recommend this place for a fun and unforgettable...
