Went in to see if they could fix my son’s RC car which was bought from another company online. The guys spent quite a bit of time on it and got it back on the road. They wouldn’t accept any payment for it too. Amazing service. Will definitely be coming back again to these guys to buy our next car. 5 stars!

Just come out of purchasing our son’s first RC truck. Was welcomed and shown around the shop by John who was probably one of the most informative and friendliest salesman we have ever come across - few and far between in this day and age! Would definitely recommend this place. Huge stock and options available plus very friendly staff. Looking forward to dealing with them again.
