You like RC THIS PLACE IS THE PLACE ... I think ... I don't know much about RC but they have some amazing stuff from the look of it! That said they do have a great selection of modeling stuff ( which is why I come here.) Paints and brushes, model kits, and scenery supplies! Especially a lot of the harder to find stuff! Great place great service.

In my opinion the best hobby shop around. Friendly and get to know the customer and not worried about making a sale only. First name basis with everyone there and won't go anywhere else

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Hi Barn Cat, We don't see to many Die Cast guys here in the shop. I am at a loss as to who you could ask. I'd try to find a forum or a facebook group that is local and you may have some luck there. Thanks!

Looking for a model kit of 1953 ford customline..?

Pamela Powell | Oct 1, 2021
Christian Johnstone | Oct 1, 2021

They might have that in stocks if not they have a Nation wide network of stores that you can probably order from. If you have any problems or if anything breaks on it they are always very helpful and nice in helping you find and get a replacement part. They are a family owned business and they are very nice and helpful. I personally have know them for years and they have been super nice and helpful.

Hi people I'm trying , but no success to find a layout for a scale 1:18 template or print out for a supermodified so i might try to build one from scratch can you help?

Patricia Manti | Oct 1, 2021
Walt's HobbyTown | Oct 1, 2021

Hi Patricia, this is Mike at Walt's Is this for R/C or for a scale model of one? If R/C, back when the Losi Mini Slider and Late Model were a thing, around 2010ish, there were different bodies/frames that people were cutting out of Lexan for that. You may have to hunt through forums from that era, but I am pretty confident you would find something. If you're looking for a drawing for a scale model, there may be stuff out there for that on some of the racing/motorsports modeling forums that exist. The Fulton Model Truck show is going to happen this fall, the sunday before thanksgiving, and if you wanted to meet up with local modelers who are into dirt racing modeling, I cant think of a better place to go! Good luck with it and we'd love to see what you come up with! -Mike @ Walt's

Can you run nitros on the track?

Richard Marsh | Oct 2, 2019
Walt's HobbyTown | Oct 2, 2019

Thanks to Jason Martin and Rachel Allen for helping out!! Hi Rich, We do not allow Nitro or Gas inside as we don't have the ventilation for it. When spring gets here (HA!) We do allow them out on the dirt. That is totally dependant on the weather though. Some years its been in April, sometimes it doesn't dry out til June. Hopefully, it's sooner than later! Thanks man!

How much does it cost to drive a car on the track

Ethan “3XPØ” Jocko | Oct 2, 2019
Walt's HobbyTown | Oct 2, 2019

If you bring your own car, we charge $5 for the day. We close the track a half hour before we close the shop so we can clean up for the next day. Please try to clean your car up before you bring it down. If it is muddy, or has a lot of rocks/dirt/debris on it we may not let you on the track. Thanks! We do have rental cars available. Those are rented for $10 for the first battery, and $5 each additional battery after the first. It is best to call the shop at (315)453-2291 to make sure we do not have an event going on in the back room. We have organized racing on Saturdays and Monday nights. Those are the only two times it should impact the use of the track for the general public. Hope this answers your question Team Sushi!

What do you have for GPS drones under $300?

james waugh | Oct 2, 2019
Nick K | Oct 2, 2019

They don't do drones really at all. Mostly RC trucks cars, and RC planes. Also models too. They carry a few radio transmitters, batteries and battery chargers but they don't carry drones. Just a few accessories or parts for them. I went in about a year ago and because most of the drone equipment is made overseas in China they don't carry it. I went in to try and buy a FRsky X9D radio and they couldn't get it for me. It's a great store and great bunch of guys who are extremely knowledgeable in pretty much every area of the RC hobby. If they carry what you are into its a great hobby store but other than that your best bet is online. I would suggest looking at getfpv.com for great drone stuff like that. For GPS stuff your getting into a more expensive range though. Good luck my friend and if you have another question please don't hesitate to ask. If you want I can list a few GPS drones in that price range for you? Let me know

How long does a 2000mAh battery take to charge?

All-fur-random | Oct 2, 2018
Nick K | Oct 2, 2019

Charging at 1c with a good stable charger (I'm going on a limb and guessing your charging a multi cell LiPo battery) but should take about 1-1.5 hours at 1c charge rating. Also maybe longer if your charger does the balance charge for the last 10 or so % of the battery. Which is highly recommended you do
