First of all they have all the newest and greatest rc vehicles that you could ask for , and the staffing is great, if you have questions they have answers, if you're into hobbies or just getting started this by far the best place to go. Just my opinion.

Love it there, they are very helpful and informative with our son's love of model trains. Especially the young man that talks model trains with him...lol

Read through this thread. First guy has a long discussion, but others give their input. Looks like people happier with heavier, like 60/70. https://www.rctech.net/forum/micro-mini-scales/699210-%2A%2A-upgrading-stock-shock-1-16-class-tutorial-%2A%2A.html

Do they have rc nitro car and trucks and the fuel for them

Yes

Do you all carry Mallet type Locomotives in N scale?

Jonah Crider | Oct 8, 2020
Emerald The Wolf | Oct 8, 2020

I have not seen N Scale Mallet types in the store's display cases. That doesn't mean they don't have them in stock though.

Is there a tech that could look at my set in my home in Rogersville? I think the trouble is in the transformer.

Ruth Chamberlain | Oct 8, 2020

What scale is it? Was it working recently?

do you sell model rocket launch pads

Mandy Keen | Oct 8, 2020
HobbyTown | Oct 8, 2020

Yes, but sometimes it is just as cheap to buy a whole starter set. It depends on what all you need...launch pad only or the launch controller also.

This place kinda discrimates and almost shames you if you have a online or cheaper rc.and also try to push sales and my every step was watched almost like a hawk especially by the older guy with salt and paper hair. its a hobby

I kind of felt the same way , but they were nice after I stayed for a few min and asked some questions and purchased a few things . It seems like the fact that you own anything besides the brand's they sell , they can be standoffish... And I'm a vet ....( know how you felt . )

Do you guys have full sized sponsor decals for full sized race car?

Tester Racing 12 | Oct 9, 2019
HobbyTown | Oct 9, 2019

No we do not. Some stores have sponsored cars at local tracks and they probably have had decals made up.

Do they buy used DX4 controller and shaper image goggles and replacement blades

Walter Church | Oct 9, 2019
HobbyTown | Oct 9, 2019

No we do not exchange or take in trade any used electronic equipment. You should try and sell it on auction sites or craigslist. We do not sell any used equipment, with the exception of model trains or our own in store demos when they are no longer required for demo.

Do they have toy bag of sharks

Becky Williams | Oct 9, 2019
Richard Peters | Oct 9, 2019

Not sure, but it would not surprise me that they have it. They seem to have everything there.
