This place is a joke! I called checking on stock for a certain model and was told they had one. I asked if they could hold it because I had to drive an hour to get there.They assured me they would. When I arrived they had the model but now told me it was sold. What a waste of time and gas! Thankfully I don't live in that area and will never go there again but I wanted to let others know that it's amateur hour at Adrenalin RC read more

This is a great hobby shop for the "anything remote controlled" enthusiast. Cars, trucks, planes, boats, helicopters.... if you can scale it down and place servos in it, this place has it or can get it for you. Excellent in stock selection of products and there is plenty to choose from. I LOVE that this is a locally owned shop and their pricing is very competitive with online stores. I would be willing to pay more to support local but Adrenalin makes it so I don't have to. Their aftercare and service is great, too. Recently we were struggling with some LiPo batteries that were too far drained and they assisted us in boosting the charge enough to save the batteries. I appreciated that as it saved me quite a few dollars for full replacements. I believe these folks support some local RC clubs as well and I would love to learn more about that and see what else I can get in to. read more

I try and support local places and this is one of them. I'm sure it would be cheaper on line- BUT I miss that personal contact with folks who enjoy my hobby as much as I do. I only wish they could open a bit earlier. I see they may be moving- well it's just a few MORE miles but they are worth it- Good Luck with that guys. read more

I have been in here several times over the last two years, and have never had bad service. It is an hour's drive for me, and it is worth it. The staff is always friendly, and very knowledgeable. They have a lot of parts that makes it nice so that I don't have to order online and wait for parts. Prices are great and are lower than most of the larger chain stores. read more

I have come in here several times over the years for rc related stuff. I have never had any complaints. I always been treated good by the employees. This last time I came in was for rocket related stuff and I spoke with a knowledgeable and cool dude who was also into rockets. I will be back again . read more

I bought a traxxas truck on Amazon and crashed it. These guys had the parts I needed and were very helpful. I think like anything it depends on who helps you. I went on a Sunday and the guy mentioned he just started working back there to help the owners out. I liked the guy a lot. I've never had any interaction with the owners though. They seemed to have a lot of parts for sale. read more

Unfortunately, most customers only give a review is when there is something negative to say. Here is a positive comment with my experience with Adrenalin Hobbies: Being a Noobie (new to RC flying), I travel the 20 miles from Bountiful, to get expert FREE advice. The staff has always been helpful with finding parts for my wrecked airplanes. I've been to all the SLC hobby stores, but I just don't get the same service and attention. Specifically, I appreciate the time they give to educate me on how to program my receiver. So much better than sifting through a hundred YouTube videos. Inventory is good, but I took off one star for not being perfect. read more

Update: See my 4 and 5 star reviews for Frequency RC in Layton, and West Valley Hobby in Salt Lake. _______________________________________________ Number of times I've gone in there needing something: a dozen. Number of times I've left with what I needed or something useful: maybe 2. Selection: 1 Price: 3 Staff: 2 (one guy is pretty friendly, the other not that friendly. Neither seem to know the hobby too well, I guess that takes time). I drive a 4X4 monster truck, fly a 450 helicopter, and a 600 sized quadcopter. Their parts selection is fairly good for cars and trucks, but I rarely need those. There is NO support for helicopters, and very little for the multirotor hobby. Zero for FPV. This shop is really only good for getting people into the hobbies, with mass produced consumer ready airplane/multirotor products. Don't count on having a shop that stocks commonly consumed parts when you inevitably crash and need to build back up your craft. You're better off online. And it breaks my heart to have to say that. Examples: Needed: -Multiple LiPo charger system- only carry single, about 5 varieties. -450 sized rotor blades for helicopter- none whatsoever. Hardly anything for crash rebuild for that matter. -XT60 connectors- never in stock. States that he tries to get everyone off of them in favor of blue eFlite types. C'mon man, they're the industry standard. Even if you can't get a price break you still need to stock them to support your community. -Quadcopter props- very limited and uncommon parts only. -Carbon fiber tube- nothing over 1/16" inch. -Landing gear retracts- I was looking for some $10-20 servos. Nothing besides an $86 kit!?!? WTH? I hope these guys get their shit together, but I'm so frustrated I don't plan to stop back any time soon. Sooooo a 1.8 hour round trip to Salt Lake every time I need something and want to support a LHS vs Amazon. read more

This store is out of order. You cannot find anything for which you are looking for. And when you do find the the item which you need they charge more the most hobby shop around. I would not recommend going here. Instead of going here I would recommend going to frequency Rc in Layton ,but they are closed now. The next best place to go to instead of here, for which I know of, is Rc Planet down in Sandy. read more

The store recently came under new management, unfortunately. The previous manager/owner was extremely helpful and had an obvious passion for RC planes and cars. This new manager is not concerned with customer service at all. We bought a $300 plane that did not work correctly out of the box. We had to buy a replacement part as he refused to believe the plane wasn't crashed. We'd only had the thing for a couple hours. After waiting a week for the part to come in we put it in, but had a question about it. He refused to answer the question on the phone so we had to go all the way to the store. He answered the question in about 2 seconds and then wanted to charge $25 to put the plane back together. No one else was in the store and it was a 10 minute (maximum) job requiring a small screw driver we didn't have. That was the 3rd time he tried to charge us $25 for a truly simple task. We left. He not only didn't get $25, but also lost a very lucrative customer. I will drive an extra 20 minutes now for decent customer service. Watch out, you may be charged $25 for breathing the air in his store. read more
