My Favourite RC Hobby Shops

With all the RC hobby shops out there, how do you know which is a good one to deal with and purchase from? Simple answer - the shops that are honest, upfront, non intimidating, and treat each customer as a valued individual. Product knowledge, good pricing, and shipping options are almost as important.

I am only recommending the hobby shops that I have used myself and have had positive experiences with.

RC Hobby Shop Recommendations

RC Helicopter Fun is proud to be associated with the great people at Red Rocket Hobby Shop. They have a passion for RC hobbies and only carry good quality products. Red Rocket Hobby Shop is based out of Oregon so there is no sales tax on any purchase. With several warehouse locations – shipping is always fast and convenient.

Many of the items Red Rocket Hobby carries include shipping and are backed by their legendary low pricing by a price match guarantee. The best thing – they actually want to help people and put the customer first. They always return e-mails and calls in a timely manner – great service like this is getting harder and harder to find these days.

Be Sure To Check Out Red Rocket's " Boo- Boo Basement " some really good deals to be found in there from time to time but they go fast.

Take a look at Red Rocket Hobby Shop's web site and see what they have to offer.

Wayne’s R/C Hobbies

Wayne’s R/C is a Canadian RC hobby shop that I consider to have the best one on one service and help in Canada; they are my personal favorite Canadian RC hobby shop to deal with. Wayne’s R/C Hobbies is owned and operated by Wayne Gorham and his wife Marilyn. They are located in the small town of Fairview, Alberta, Canada.

Wayne is by far the most helpful and knowledgeable person I have ever talked to when it comes to RC helicopters. Wayne’s RC carry higher end products such as Align, Futaba, OS, just to scratch the surface and they are my "go-to" source for all my Trex heli gear. Wayne is an accomplished 3D heli pilot himself and knows this hobby inside out - what works and what doesn't.

Wayne’s R/C Hobbies doesn’t have a web site. They are one of those great little secrets that few people know about, but once found, become your number one go to source for RC. Wayne and Marilyn pride themselves on making true customers for life. They will go out of their way to help people succeed in RC with the one on one care that is basically impossible to find these days.

I feel very privileged being able to introduce this “little secret” to the rest of the Canadian RC community if you haven’t already been wowed by their service, helpful advice, and top of the line products.

Wayne (no relation to Wayne's RC Hobbies) and the gang at Hobby Alley located in Edmonton Alberta is my on-line hobby shop of choice here in Canada. Great service, prices, selection, and they accept PayPal as well as other major credit cards. If you are a Canadian customer, definitely check them out. I truly have been "wowed" by their willingness to bring in special items for me and the on-line shopping experiences I have had with them.
