Check this business out. They're very good. They know what they're talking about. And they're very patient with you to Meet your requirements and answer the questions you have for them. I called them today and they had all the answers. I was looking 4 plus more. Very soon, I will be going to visit the store and buy some RC tires and wheels. And Nitro fuel. I believe they're an amazing business. It's just my opinion, but once you go there. Or talk to them yourself. I believe everybody will understand why I felt. There's such wonderful people in a great store. Thank you guys very much for being so patient with all the questions. I had for you in giving such amazing feedback on what my next steps should be to repair my R. C. Truck.
Tires and wheels.

I went in here to find a nut for inside the slipper clutch. Literally a 5cent piece. I ended up having to get the entire assembly for that one nut. But the owner was SO helpful and knew his parts. I ended up walking out spending almost $100. After being to a couple other shops throughout the last few months the prices here are the best I've seen. And the help was amazing. I would highly recommend going to Carltons Hobbies if your looking for parts for your R/C. I wish they had a bigger track though!!!

One of the few local hobby shops still around. Dane is always very helpful and provides great customer service. He offers you the same attention wether you are buying $10 of hardware, or $500 on a new toy.

He and Laird have helped guide me get a vintage nitro hydroplane on the water.

I'll start by saying im new to the RC hobby world. This family owned store had a lot more to offer them I expected!!! The staff was extremely knowledgeable, they were able to answer my questions quickly and correctly. All in all, with their guidance I was able to purchase more high quality upgraded replacement parts then the basic part in my Amazon cart and I had my parts the same day I needed them! I will be going back again soon!

Honestly not very happy at all.. 😕I was excited to purchase a axial 10. Until I got home and the front tire broke clean off before I put the battery in it.. Took it back to get it fixed and the parts weren't available and would have to be ordered. Unfortunately for me I don't have a week or two to wait. However they did offer to fix it free of charge. Which was nice but I don't have a vehicle ATM or a ton of money to run 40 mins back n forth. I spent $540 for the truck, battery and charger and didn't get any compensation for my troubles. And of course there isn't any returns on this hunk! Very disappointed I thought they we're an honest business.

Lady on the phone is very helpful and pleasant. Of course prices are a little higher than online they have people to pay but in return you get knowledgeable staff. Support the local stores don’t be a cheapskate. Great selection.

I am extremely upset with the level of unprofessionalism, I called in the morning to see if they do soldering and was told they do and that the person that could do it would be there around noon and would take 30 minutes. The job I requested (solder the EC5 plug-while I supplied all the wires) was quoted $20-$30. I dropped off the SCT 410 2.0 at 11:30. She said she would call me before the work was done with a final price. I didn't receive a phone call, so I called at 2pm and was told he would be starting it in 20 minutes. I received a call at 4:30 that it was ready, they close at 5:00 and I am a half hour away, I was smart enough to leave before she called so I was already on my way just to go pick it up done or not. During this call she informed me it would be $50.

Great hobby store! HUGE selection of R/C stuff, parts & accessories. They even have an indoor track. Great selection of train stuff and model kits & paints. The store is always very clean and everyone is extremely nice and helpful. Definitely one of the BETTER mom & pop family businesses I've been to. Keep up the GREAT work, y'all!!
