Hillsborough R/C Hobby

Store is actually closed.

Great little store!
This is a local RC store. They have to pay rent, charge sales tax, etc. Yet they manage to offer superb advice and service. Why does this matter? Because if you plan a day RCing and break a partner two it’s far handier to stop by and pick up spares than close down and wait for UPS.
They are reasonably priced. Again as a brick and mortar store they can’t beat eBay prices but you can touch and see it all.
Inventory is adequate. They have spares for the mainline popular stuff. A lot of Traxxas some Losi and all the Horizon helis. They will special order anything you ask and it’s usually there later that week which is nice.
Support the little guy. For the RTR kits they are $ competitive with online. So help the hobby and check them out.

People are helpful, though they seem a bit sales-​pitchy. Prices are nothing special, pretty standard and on the high end if anything. When I went, it looked a bit like a hurricane just swept through. There were empty shelves all over. I don’t know if its because of the holiday season and people came in to buy everything or if they just don’t normally carry much. So, there was pretty much nothing to do here except ask the guy to demo a few helicopters for me. He showed me the MSR and mcpx and I fell in love with both, but they were out of stock so I went to BP hobbies down the street and picked up an mcpx… which btw I got a very good deal on!
