Hobby Etc Hobby Shop and Raceway — Local services in Manchester

Would not recommend this place. I guess they DO NOT like new comers. Decided to take over an hour drive out there yesterday to check it out. I brought my trx 4 2021 bronco in because I was wanting to pick up some parts from this place. I walk in and a guy immediately comes up to the counter and says “what can I get you” in a snarky comment. I asked if they had xxx part in store and showed him what I had found on my phone. The guy at the counter types in the wrong part number so I go “I think you hit 5 instead of s”… doesn’t say a word to me. I then asked about some information about the product I was interested in purchasing and the guy had absolutely no clue about the product. Overall was not a good experience at all the gentleman at the counter seemed like he either hated his life or hated the fact that he has never seen me in there before and did not seem interested in helping me one bit. Really sucks because I saw they had a pretty big inventory and was planning on buying parts in the future. Will not be returning due to the customer service I received yesterday....

Great resource for a wide range of RC parts, including surface, water, and air models. Hobby etc Warehouse carries just about every manufacture's parts for RC cars, buggies, trucks, helicopters, and airplanes. Not many shops carry stuff beyond Horizon and Traxxas, which can be a serious pain when you really need a Team Associated, HPI, or Tekno vehicle part to get a platform working again.

Tip: browse their web site for what you need, write down all the part numbers you want, and when you get there just hand them the list and they will go pick your parts from their warehouse for you. It's not so much a browsing kind of place. It's similar to what "Service Merchandise" or "Woolworth's" was like back in the 1970 and 80's. Or BJ's warehouse somewhat, but less on display. It's incredibly efficient, and their staff is awesome! Just visited to pick up some 1/8th scale RC8B3.2e buggy parts. In and out, easy peasy. Highly...

Been doing business with this shop for a few years now. They have an amazing supply of items for RC surface vehicles. The product line is vast and accommodates kit builds, rollers, and rtr vehicles. Prices are always inline with factory for vehicles. They always seem to have parts in stock when others are out of stock which is a huge benefit. They have stood behind any legitimate product issues that have arisen. They are knowledgeable when in a jam on a custom build and offer assistance. Robby (sp?) is very knowledgeable on the full Arrma product line. Nice to see a shop where employees actually use the products, not just sell them. Great place to do business with. Website is simple for vehicle searches or category / vendor views - which is nice - not overly complex like many places make it. Highly recommend for RC surface...
