The new store is ridiculous! They went all out when they made this thing. The warehouse is now attached to the store, so it makes it convenient for them to get stuff from the warehouse. So much more space to display everything they have to offer. The indoor and outdoor track are really nice. Keep in mind that its going to cost you $10 to run on the indoor carpet track or outside dirt oval.

Were big fans of AMain Hobbies Chico Store!What makes AMain stand out is their exceptional knowledge of RC parts and equipment, catering to a variety of needs in the RC community. The retail staff consistently go above and beyond to provide assistance. Whether its tracking down a rare component or troubleshooting an issue, encountering such a knowledgeable and friendly team is truly refreshing. Their genuine concern for customers success and enjoyment in the RC world shines through. Chico is fortunate to have their retail store right here. Thank you!!

Terrible customer service. 1st day I wanted to spend 1,000$ on a r/c plane set up. I waited 1 hour for them to pull my order. . They said it says 1in stock but nothing. I left my number and asked them to call me when its ready and I will go pick it up. Never got a call. Big guy in the chair who doesnt move and is Rude. Is costing company lots of money. I went to buy a boat today and I waited 1 hour and they didnt pull it. So I left.

Amain is one of my favorite places, great people that are super helpful friendly. They have a top notch indoor carpet track and drift course not to mention rock crawler courses.

AMain Hobbies is my go-to hobby shop. I dont have any hobby shops local. They always have what I want, amazing customer service, great prices, they always have coupons, they rewards program is fantastic, and they ship super fast. Cant really ask for much more. Thank you, AMain!You rock!

Cool store, very uncool employees in general. I like to give places a chance so I went in 3 times. Each time the staff working the store were incredibly rude. I get that customer service can suck, but if it’s gotten to a point where you are so bitter that every customer is an enemy it’s time to move on to another job. This place seems to have fostered a negative environment which is sad because a hobby shop has so much potential for a happy environment that people might actually want to spend time & money in.

So my Dad went in to buy an airplane 2 days ago. 6-12-2024. His total was 1100 for the airplane and the battery charger and remote. They couldnt find the airplane made my dad wait 45 mins to say we would need to call you.This should have been the first red flag.Second red flag all the reviews.3rd red flag went in today, 6-14-2024, with a friend cause he wanted a new boat. Found the boat we wanted and waited 45 mins for them not to even send someone to go find the boat. They had a girl and 2 other guys working. They need to figure out their customer service.Worst place to go to in all of California. dont waste your time here.Big dude behind counter never even moves from his chair, he is the reason for the mass amount of bad reviews and complaints, he must be an owner cause if any owner read the reviews and seen his customer service he should be fired. Lost about 1600 in sales in 2 days from one customer. And thats just the beginning of the hobby, any one that is into the hobby knows you will be back for parts upgrades and to use the track. Well, not ever would anyone want to come to this store. Its easier to shop amazon and easier returns. I hope more people review this company they need to figure out their management and re hire. Sad to see a new big place suffer

Sold me a non working hobbywing esc and will not send me a replacement after spending over 600 with this jerks, their employees act like they dont even care, no customer service skills at all. they send me to the manufacturer which also has not responded to a flurry of emails ill stick to tower hobbies. hopefully they go out of business soon we dont need companies like this

Its great if you are into rock crawlers or drift cars but I you are there for anything airplane related sont bother. I live about an hour and a half from there so when I ask them for the correct battery for the plane I just bought from their very limited section of planes they give me the incorrect battery twice now meaning that I have to drive all the way back to correct it. Gas prices these days and time wasted makes it pretty frustrating honestly. They dont have any batteries on display to pick from or cervoes or escs you gave to ask them for it cause they keep it in the back fir som reason so I cant see what anything cost and they just give you the most expensive one or the incorrect one in my case like I said if you want anything car or truck related no problem but if youre a plane guy its a hard pass.

NEVER GOING BACK. I have spent well over $5000 at this store alone but will never give them by business again. This was an amazing store 3+ yrs ago now, employees act like you are bothering them to get service. Parts guy sold me the wrong receiver for my car after I told him what transmitter I had, experience was so bad I just ordered it from Amazon. This is store used to be stocked with an incredible amount of parts that you could browse on your own. Now everything it behind the counter and the parts guy grabs you the wrong part while giving attitude the whole time. I used to love this store and would go and walk around just to see what they had, I will never be going back after this experience.

My son really enjoyed the store. its surprisingly expensive though. Im certain this is due to the sport being expensive in general though

Great RC store! The online shop is the best RC shop in the world, maybe the best user interfece site. They have great international shipping options, a huge inventory and top customer service if something is not alright.

Been looking to come to the store for about 2 years but because of the distance I wasnt able to. Well I finally made it in today and will never go back. Walked the store for 10 minutes and just got stared at. When I went to ask for help the fat guy was rude as hell lost my sale

I purchased a LiPo charger 6 years ago, and when it required a new screen recently, they sent me a replacement at no cost, no questions asked.My experience has been nothing but exceptional, and I want to express my gratitude to Graham in the returns section, he truly shines in customer service.Thank you guys!

Very bad service, it does not intend for Mexican customers to have access to what we need from your store. They do not use DHL to ship our orders. Only conventional mail and that takes a long time, more than what a model airplane designer is willing to wait for.The most nefarious and disgusting thing is the attitude of RACIAL DISCRIMINATION.I hope they dont lose my things, or tell me they got lost on the way, I want my refund since they are unable to send me my things by the shipping method that I need.

These guys are AWESOME!...I was down on my luck looking for a few things for some kids as prizes for a small hand-game tournament. I looked at 5 different stores. I did not get much help from any of those stores.The manager Jabari and his staff took the time to listen and showed a lot of compassion and support for what we were doing for the kids in the community. They were able to help out a LOT. The world needs more people like Jabari and his staff. Good hearted and down to earth.THANK YOU!.... The kids loved the stuff.

Fantastic crew. I was on a long vacation from Oregon going to proline by the fire and decided to stop in so I could see where all my online sales were going. Jared and his crew are a very friendly good group of guys that seem eager to figure out your problems and help you on the spot. The experience from beginning to end is what I expect from a customer service perspective, and we quickly became friends drifting together on their indoor track with one of the guys, and another helping me learn about getting into the drone game. At the end of this shopping experience I left with two purchases and a great experience to take back to my home state. I would also like to thank John in the customer service department, it’s always easy to get frustrated with someone on the phone over something when buying online, but after this experience and my experience with John this truly feels like a local hobby shop even from a state away.

The people that work here act like you are bugging them when you ask any questions, you get short yes, no answers with no extrapolating or follow up. You could walk around the store for 30 minutes and nobody would help you even though 5-6 guys are working. Worst gatekeeping I have ever experienced. I will be driving to Rocklin from now on to Fast Track Hobbies, way nicer staff.

Everyone here was extremely nice. Store was so awesome! The way they show case all the cars. When I walked in I was super surprised how nice it was and how nice the people working there were. Definitely a nice change of pace compared to the other hobby shop Ive gone to in Sacramento since its closer to my home. Awesome work guys!

Ordered a crawler online for a crazy sale price. arrived earlier than forecasted and in excellent condition. it was an rtr, so pre-assembled by the manufacturer and had a couple of minor issues. a quick chat session later, and the parts having issues are en route to my place in record time. this is not normal in my experience with any business, and even harder to come by in the rc world (based on numerous in person and online experiences at different shops).this kind of customer service means that this is my first stop from now on! lifelong customer achievement unlocked. :)

Customers are more helpful than the employees. Any questions are mostly met with some sort of annoyed tone followed by a quick non descriptive answer. However I did make a good purchase that I am happy with, with no help of the employees. Feels like some sort of gatekeeping as employees are kinder to friends and it feels as if youre interrupting their conversations when you want basic customer service. This is coming from someone with retail experience at the Chico Mall.

Received my order earlier than expected. Everything arrived undamaged and working. Charging battery now. I would say amain hobbies is a good place to find what you need for your rc hobbies.

Find a local store. Employees act like you aren’t worth their time. Came with intentions of spending over $1,000 on a new Losi SBR 2.0, and ended up leaving because the employees would rather talk to others about 1/24 crawler tires than aid you in soldering connectors for you, and checking out. Waiting for a half hour while the employee just talked to another customer while he was suppose to be helping.

I drove up from Sacramento just to check this shop out! The location is easy to locate, even if you are not familiar with the area. On top of that I would venture to say they have some of the best customer service, knowledge, and general availablilty of items.When I entered the store I was greeted by all those working, and the staff were eager and willing to help me locate the items I was seeking, and answer any questions I had. There is a small turf course inside, and one could easily be in there for hours just checking everything out with boats, planes, trucks, cars, buggies. Stop reading this review, and go check them out!

Customer service is great. I had ordered a quad from these folks and contacted them about 5 days after it was supposed to have showed up. They got back to me immediately and were willing to step up and send a replacement if USPS didnt get it to me in time. Thankfully, it did finally show up. But the fact that these guys were so quick to make things right, even for a screw-up that wasnt theirs, says a lot about their service. Highly highly recommend.

Drove here for the Labor Day event here., and it did not disappoint. Staff is extremely friendly and helpful as I did not partake in the race event I did receive massive amounts of information of upcoming events and races across the country. Was able to purchase a few things onsite store and never the less a great experience for the family and the hobbyist himself ( parking doesn’t seam to be a problem )

If you are into RC cars and trucks, this is the store to visit. They have everything from kits, RTRs, parts, online orders, in house repairs, indoor crawler courses, outdoor race tracks, etc. It was the 2 hour drive from the SF Bay area. The employees are friendly and knowledgeable.

Great customer service and took the time to insure that the bikes fitted us correctly. They followed up on items ordered and insured that everything fit and worked properly. Very friendly staff. We never felt pressured to purchase. The Giant LaFree E+1 bikes are great.

Great service, great staff. Great inventory. Indoor test track for checking out RC cars and trucks. Even a rock crawling track for those type of vehicles. Large varying choice of RC toys in price range. From beginner level to the highly advanced. The employees are all fellow hobbyists. Very helpful. And non intimidating. ( if your new to the hobbie they will not make you feel dumb by your own lack of knowledge). Very patient to explain whatever you need to know. The after sale service is great as well. They have a good stock of parts. And if they dont have it, they will search and order whatever you need. Its a great and fun place to shop or even go just to see whats new and happening in the hobbie world.

Just got a mini-rc truck and buggy for my son and I. Couldnt get anyone to answer any questions. When I did he would only answer the specific question I asked and not elaborate or ask any follow-up questions. He seemed genuinely annoyed that I asked multiple questions.It sucks because I just want to keep my money local but its easier to get info online I guess. All of this stuff is available online for exactly the same price so I dont see the point of wasting my time in the store.

Everytime my 10yr old son and I go in this place, the staff has been friendly, helpful and knowledgeable.My son was given an RC car from a friend that needed work. I didnt know anything about them, the staff has never talked over my head. Theyve been very helpful, walked me thru making repairs and upgrades. Its nice to get that kinda treatment and customer service.Thank you!

Ive had the displeasure of having to frequent the only r/c hobby store in Chico, Ca. now for the past several years. Recently their overall service to customers has taken a STEEP decline.. After receiving a gift from family for my son in the form of an r/c car (made overseas) that needed eventual repairs, they flat out refused to work on it calling it all kinds of names (knock off, cheap parts, etc) even for standard cosmetic parts that are Obviously accessible. During the same encounter, I had questions about what model airplane kits they might carry. I was referred, literally, to the computer attached to their register to look at their online inventory while the only salesman on the floor briskly ended our conversation since he, had to go to lunch... (& this was only a recent experience in this store). I will Never be back. A tank of gas into a nearby bigger city is worth seeing if other stores remember how to treat customers who A.) Dont shop competitively online, & B.) Bother to visit their store in the 1st place.Granted, some of the staff are nice & knowledgeable. But others just Arent. It has simply become a waste of my time.

This was my first visit to the AMain Hobbies store. I looked at all the model RC cars, boats, and airplanes. I was shortly greeted by a friendly sales associate who answer all my questions. Its nice to be acknowledged; a few stores ignore woman in a male dominated store. I ended up buying a small RC car for my kid.

Ive used amain off and on for few years. Fair prices and when Ive ever had an issue they have taken care of me very well. I always tell people at the field about the great customer service, because that is what really makes or breaks a company.

They fixed the pirate ship! I am talking about a real pirate ship here well pirate ship toy set that I ordered after looking for it for months for my child, it arrived broken. I needed an expert to fix it to make it look as good as new and the people at the service counter at AMain Hobbies didnt blink an eye when I made such a crazy request as having them fix a pirate ship. This looks exactly brand new and my son is going to be over the moon. Take a look at the picture, can you see evidence of the repair? I know I cant. Hands down the best hobby store I have ever had the privilege of doing business with.

I’m changing my review from a 1 star to a 5 star...they genuinely took care of us and and reached out to us. Thanks for taking our concerns so seriously, you have done right with us and we will be back. Thank you so much for being great! The manager was super helpful and treated me like family.

Form the moment we walked in to the moment we left there were very positive and welcoming. When we asked for help the gentleman tending to us sprang into action found things in the general area of what we wanted. Although they did not have what we came for in store, they assured the part would be there tomorrow afternoon sent from their factory which is also in town. I would say check their website then call the store before heading over and they will have what you need. Was an all around good experience and I would suggest this store to others.

(Wife’s account 🤷‍♂️) Just dug out my 84 gold pan RC/10 out of storage after 25ish years. Living in rural Canada, there are not no many places to get parts. AMain have been great to deal with, prices and shipping are awesome, will definitely be using them often

This is by far the best RC hobby shop I have ever been too. I would say it caters to the more dedicated RC hobbyist. But they have everything. Tried my hand at the rock crawler course in the lobby and now I think I will be getting a crawler. Got to put my hands on some other trucks I had only seen online. A+

I just purchased a crawler kit and some accessories for a gift from AMain Hobbies. I had no idea what I was purchasing so I decided to chat with an expert, a feature on their site, and they were awesome! They helped me with my order and made sure I got all the right parts for the crawler.

Whatever happened to this place, it is sad. The worst customer service is no service, especially after you called in first. Drove 30 minutes to get here, and the two guys didnt care to help me at all. Even after I said, I was the guy who called. Did manage to get a few words out of one guy, but he was no help whatsoever. Tried to sell me wheels and tires that were way too big. Told him I would grab my E-Revo and come back in to make sure they would fit. Got it, and went back in to worse service. They just started at me, and kept talking to eachother. Ended up walking out, even after seeing other parts I needed in stock. Will no longer support this place, or give them money. As for there shirt, got a new rag. To add, my Uncle has been going to this place for a long time. And he has spent a lot of money here. Says he has a couple hundred in Gift Cards, but sadly he now gets the same treatment I did. Only difference is, they never acknowledged him

Excellent customer service and great selection. Anything not in stock can be ordered from the Online warehouse, usually within a day.There is a tech department to keep everything running well and/or getting you setup and on the right track.They stand behind what they sell and take great care of their customers.

Had a rc car for 2 days and it broke on its own, took it in and they told me a week or less to get it fixed. A month and a half later, it’s finally done after calling multiple times, never getting a phone call in return letting to let me know it is done. Overall unprofessional and never again!

If you are looking for remote control vehicles, this is the place to go in the Chico area. They have some of everything including spare parts. They are not over priced either, very competitive. They even have an indoor crawler course to test your skills.🚙💨

These giys are cool and all but they need to have more knowlege on partsI drove 1 hour to get a proline diff that he claimed would fit my stock 2wd rustler and a diff for my pro sc 4x4He said it would be in within a couple weeks and he wil call meSo i wait and wait and wait ..i called on the 3rd week he said no theyre not in yet so i waited 2 months and i called yes your parts just got here!I asked both my rustler and sc4x4 diffs? He said yes ! so i drive an hour to get there to find out he only had my proline diff. So i said whatever it was just a mistake at least i got one of the. DiffsWell i waited til my stock diff blew out which just blew out 2 days ago so i open up the package and assemble the diff. Its got slack in it soComes to find out he didnt order me the gaskets that are required to keep the diff fluid in so i went out and found all the gaskets took me all day !So i stop at the redding rc shop get diff fluid and put it all together ..i go to install the diff and it doesnt fitIt says on the package for proline transmissionsAt this very moment ive had it with these guysThey wasted 3 months of my timeI should have just ordered the HR diff off ebay and been back on the road within a couple days

So I want to say Thank you to Laura at the Chico store ! she helped me by doing a special order for me .I had been looking for a hobbie item that was nowhere to be found in Chico at any other toy or craft store, i searched for about three hours .Then i called A Main and spoke with Laura,she told me immediately that they did not have my item in stock but would special order it for me and would contact me as soon as it comes in .She was on point and i really appreciate that and she was kind and professional on the phone! now i can do my crafty thing in a couple of days ...yay !(O:

Great little hobby shop, and an excellent extention to their online store (which sometimes carries items the store doesnt). They are expanding into more FPV and multi-rotor. Most of the time their prices are very competitive to online stores

This store is the best. Not only do it they have a brick and mortar location but they also have a huge website. Prices are not bad at all. And they actually listen to there costumers.

Amain hobbies is my go.to spot for almost all my rc stuff. My son and I gladly make the one hour trip to get the products we need at a price I can afford.

I love this place. If they dont have what you want on the shelf odds are they can have it in store the same day. This is because there warehouse is just across town.

Great source for RC hobbies. Ask about their track and races. Nothing else like it in Northstate. They ship all over the world if that tells you anything.
