Remote Control Hobbies - Portland

I just have to give a shout-out to these guys. I’ve been in at least 4 times and they are so helpful to me as a novice. What prompted this review is that I just called them for help on figuring out which amp setting to use on my charger and they gave me a quick lesson on the phone that will stay with me forever. Just can’t speak highly enough about this place. If you are new to RCing check these guys out. Stellar!

A great local hobby shop That is definitely worth the stop. They've got great staff that are knowledgeable for all of your RC needs. A good stock on hand for all of the upgrades that you might have in mind for future projects. And a great selection of varying radio, controlled cars and planes and boats on hand. In the event you have money burning a hole in your pocket, definitely go to remote control hobbies. They will help you spend it and you will be happy you did!

Disappointing. Went for a couple parts. The guy searched for one mumbled something and wandered off, then took a phone call. The customer on the phone needed information for an rc they were working on. The employees more or less mocked the person after the call for their lack of knowledge. After that they seemed to forget I was there and ignored me even while I sat at the counter. I finally just left. They really didn't seem interested in helping me find my parts. I'm going to end up going to a different shop or online ordering. Good variety of huge RC's for those using them, but not much else.

Not too sure how others or why others had such a bad experience, but my first time in there with an older Axial. Dan and Tyler were immediately friendly and very engaging, and concerned with my needs. They didn’t shrug me off or leave me sitting there wondering. Both had given me their honest opinions and recommendations on quality versus budget parts. As well kept in mind a very sensible cost effective approach. Neither tried to sell me the most expensive components or suggested that’s the only way it should be. Which at the Hobby Shop I visited previously suggested I should. It was a great experience and I will certainly be back and give my business to this shop. I highly recommend RC Hobbies to anyone looking for Crawler parts, starting into the Hobby or for professional advice. Tyler is a true professional when it comes to assembly and soldering your components. Pictures to prove it! Dan has a plethora of knowledge when it comes to crawlers too, the shop has helped me transform my truck into what it is today. This was/is my experience and I’m just one review. Don’t let the negatives fool you, go-in and find out for yourself. These guys are awesome! Thanks again.
