HobbyTown USA

My son had been saving a long time for a really good R/C car. He went in to the Hobbytown here in Nampa who did their best to help him, but they didn't know anything about racing locally. They recommended that he visit the Hobbytown in Boise. On my next day off, I we...nt with him.\t\n\t\nThe store is big and inviting. There is something interesting everywhere you look. That's why I gave them a second and third star.\t\n\t\nWe looked at the R/C car boxes for about 15 minutes while my son explained to me what he'd learned reading chat rooms.\t\n\t\nFinally, after about 10 minutes I went to the counter to ask for help. A young man with a manager tag cheerfully agreed to help me. He asked what we were looking for and I gave him a basic rundown. When he found out we were considering going racing, he did give us a brochure from a local race track. When I asked about the cars, he recommended we talk to the people at the track. When I asked about the manufacturers, he recommended we talk to the people at the track. When I asked about batteries and chargers he told us some basic pricing, but didn't tell us anything about the different types of batteries or ratings.\t\n\t\nOver lunch later, my son and I both agreed that the only thing we had learned from our visit was about TQ Raceway. \t\n\t\nFortunately, we decided to stop by R/C Hobies on Overland. Read my review on that store. Wonderful experience. We walked out of there with a $200 R/C car that we are very happy with.\t\n\t\nMy conclusion is this--as an interesting store with cool stuff, I'd rate Hobbytown as a five star. But if you're looking for help buying an R/C car, their service demands that you save the money and order from the internet.\t\n\t\n Read More

Excellent quality and selection as well as great customer service! I go here for all of my gaming supplies. They're actually cheaper than the web on a lot of things!

Poor quality and really expensive is about the nicest thing I can say about this store If you can avoid and shop on line I would recommend it.

This is a great store, I have done most of my christmas shopping here. Everything from models, radio controlled vehicles, role playing equipment, modeling paints, and much much more. They have a very friendly staff and offer a deal that eve...
