This location is alright when it comes to prices and selection. Primarily a plastic model maker of fixed-wing aircraft, I have had occasional luck with cool finds. Most of the time I come here for their paint selection which is again, alright. Their staff is friendly enough and their selection of parts for things like RC planes and cars along with larger plastic models for moth military and sci-fi is good. I recommend stopping in!

I think everyone in San Marcos knows about this place and goes here. Great place for a gift card any age, 8 to 88

Good parts at good prices. I got some good advice as well for y brushless rebuild.

There are a string of 1 review 1 stars on here; hard not to see that as a competitor. Just report the spam, store is good.

I got a plane and the day I got it, I went home and unboxed it, it was about 7:20pm, and when I opened it, I noticed there were scratches all over the plane, and the propeller was cracked, I wasn't able to fly the plane because it was dark out, so I just tested the servos and the motor, and I gave it a little bit of throttle and the propeller broke on both sides, and I didn't blame the store because of the packaging, the store closed at 8:00 PM that day so I waited the next day to return it, I went to the store and told the manager what happened, he kept on saying that "it didn't come out the box that way" and that "you did it on purpose to get a refund", and that isn't that got me mad, what got me mad was that when I was about to leave, I heard a man returning a plane, and I saw that his was in even worse condition than mine, and then I realized that the manager was racist, he didn't want my plane back because I'm middle eastern and had an asian look, and the other guy that returned his plane was the same race as him. would not recommend shopping their, and I've never had a worse shopping experience before, and one of the worst customer services I've ever seen in my life.

very poor customer service, I got a plane, it had lots of scratches on the body, the propeller was cracked, and I didn't even fly it, i just checked to see how powerful the motor was, and when i tested it, the propeller suddenly broke apart on both sides, I thought to myself that they probably gave me a refurbished one by accident, but i knew that wasn't the case, so i went to return it the next day, and the guy looked like the manager, and he checked the airplane, and had the audacity to blame it on me that i broke it on purpose to get a refund, he kept on saying that i did not come out the package this way, but he knew himself that i was right, it was raining in California the day i returned it, and was dark when I got the plane, so i couldn't fly it on both days. Very bad experience, would definitely not recommend shopping there.

Horribly experience with these new owners and employees. Unfortunately no one was of knowledge to help sell me a battery and adapters needed for a car I bought from them. Sad. Looks like I'm ordering what I need online hassel free now.

Absolutely awesome. Just passing through the area I stopped to check it out and was thoroughly impressed. The staff, particularly the owner was very professional, yet appropriately casual, and was just the right amount of helpful, allowing for time just to browse and comfortably check things out. Also very knowledgeable and respectful in giving advice and recommendations.
As a hobbyist of many categories and interests, I would definitely recommend checking this place out, there was also an impressive selection of enamel/model type paints, top quality collection for sure!
