Extremely friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Went in to purchase a transmitter for rc planes after being out of the hobby for many years. Got me set up and made the process simple. Will be back. Selection is fantastic.

Good selection. You need to interact with the staff regardless in most cases since many of the items are stashed in the many drawers they have. Knowledgeable staff. Cool toys for kids of all ages. It's great to see hobby shops around.

I'm new to the world of RC, there are so many options and brands that it seemed overwhelming at first. I have a difficulty with hearing so my wife called various shops in the area with questions that I had about certain makes and models. After a bad experience with a shop close to home I found Iron Horse on google. They were awesome so I had my wife order an RC crawler for my son for Christmas and arranged with the shop for me to pick it up on my lunch break. I ran in and grabbed it and had a short chat with the shop about some other crawlers. Today I had my wife call and ask some questions again and the staff was knowledgeable and polite even though she was relaying info back and forth between us. I liked the shop so much I ended up buying another crawler for myself, they even had the LED light kit for the model in stock to go with it. I can't recommend this place enough, I look forward to continued patronage here.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.
