High Desert Hobbies — Local services in Palmdale

I'm pretty sure I've given a review in the past on this absolutely awesome Hobby Store....oops!...I gave away my opinion. Here's my scoop....the owners, Christine and Peter, are just wonderful people. They are not just owners of an rc hobby store. They are truly "rc people" and are involved in the hobby community. Every time I go in there, Christine is helping someone or greets you, and Peter's seems to always be working on someone else's rig.....I wonder if he ever works on his own rigs(Meaning, I've been deep in this hobby since 1989, and I'd need a break from it). As for the store, they primarily have Crawler/Trail Rigs and other offroad rigs. They also have other race cars, and I'll see a plane here and there......but basically ground-based RC's. If they don't have it, they will do their best to get it. Prices there are "at or below" internet prices from what I've seen. There is an awesome rock-course for your crawler/trail rig. That's the main attraction as you walk in and it covers a lot of flooring. It's by far the best indoor course I've seen. I'd say it's best suited for a Class 1 and Class 2 rig. Parking is ok. The hobby shop is off the main road but it's kind-of in a weird spot. Hard to explain. Check it out. It's honestly the only hobby shop I like within a 100-mile radius. All the others seem to be lacking product or knowledge or is...

A little over a year ago I brought an rc boat I bought online that didn't work out the box. Peter opened it up and fixed the electronics for me no charge. I was compelled to come back and purchase a boat that he recommended. A couple weeks ago, I went in and bought a better boat that he recommended. He also looked at my rc car and gave me info on what I should do for upgrades. They didn't have any replacement parts I needed though, but I also checked with other hobby stores, and they don't carry the parts either. I had to order them online. A few days later, I went in and bought a new rc car while I'm waiting on the delivery of my parts for the rc car I already have. They have competitive prices, and their knowledge on the rc culture is informative. Mike is very knowledgeable as well. They're very friendly, and also have work tables where you can perform maintenance on your hobby. For a reasonable hourly fee, they will work...

My son received a racing toy car for his bday and I had no idea how to start it. I reached high desert hobbies and the staff was helpful and friendly. The young gentle man was extremely knowledgeable, he showed my son how to add the gas into the toy car and even offered to start the car for us and break it in at a reasonable price. My son's car was ready for pick up the next day! This place has a lot of racing toy cars for sale, toy aircrafts among other really interesting things. I was not aware of this place until my son owned his own toy car. I was also informed if my sons car is ever in need of any parts they can order them there and repair the car too. They had alot of toy cars there being repaired and having maintenance. If you ever own a racing toy car, I recommend this place for any questions or issues anyone is having with...
