This place has changed a lot since its prior location. It is incredibly smaller, however they do have a good array of R/C vehicles and this staff is more than helpful even when limited. Declined to Elsie mend and engaging. However, there is a bit of profanity each time I've visited. The way they are set up is very inviting. The storefront has an open window to watch patrons race on the R/C drift track with the store in the background and an open service counter just as you walk in. Understandably, the back door is not open to patrons. So you must enter through the Lincoln Avenue entrance. Parking can be a challenge. Although it is all free, which is a nice thing about downtown Willow Glen I hope never changes.

This place is absolutely great for RC They are very competitively priced and can order most RC related items, often cheaper than Amazon and the big RC sites. The owner is patient and knowledgeable and spent time explaining and answering all my annoying questions.

Previous store at the old location is much bigger and better track layout. Willowglen location has higher rent overhead and much much smaller square footage shop space. I visited on a Saturday afternoon and it seemed like a hangout spot for employees. Now for the parts selection, it’s very scattered here and limited. Online store shows much more selection than what’s at store. You’re better off going to NorCal Hobbies for your wider selection.

Visited this hobby store on a work trip from LA. Definitely a great selection of parts and accessories. Have a few different vehicles that most other hobby stores do not carry. They also have a cool drift truck in the back as well as a mini crawler feature as well. Definitely worth a stop if you're in the San Jose area.
