    They sell RC boats

    Their storefront doesn't have much but the guys here will help you find what you're looking for on their website and warehouse. We've driven 2hrs countless times just to come visit and checkout the store.

    AMain Is STELLAR. I've ordered over 6 kits from them in the last year. I'm still running my old Tamiya ta-02 and this is my go to spot for parts, kits and more.

    This place was great. Only bad thing is its over 2 hours from me, but it was worth a Sunday drive. I went there looking to get the Arrma Notorious and did. But spent awhile there because theres just so much stuff!! Staff was helpful even with my stupid questions/ requests. There is A LOT of cars and inventory in stock and on display. I dont think Ive ever been in a store with that many cars, trucks, etc. on display to see out of the box. Ill add a bunch of pics as well so you can see what I mean. If you live near there you are lucky. Where I live we have NO shops at all. Its sad.

    AMain Customer Service is amazing…read more They stand behind their Protek products and take care of you ASAP. There is one customer service rep there that is not very good, but everyone else I've dealt with has been outstanding. They have helped me out of a handful of jams and you can build up store credit with your purchases saving you a decent amount of money in the long run.

    Writing this review is very disappointing. My wife and I have recently gotten into RC cars. For me…read moreit's something I enjoyed years ago as a teenager, and for my wife it's a brand-new hobby that she has really come to love. We decided to stop by this location while we were in Chico for other business. I've purchased from their online store before, so visiting a physical location seemed like a great opportunity. When we walked in, no one greeted us, even though several people behind the counter clearly saw us and simply stared without saying a word. We shrugged it off at first and continued looking around. However, about a minute later another pair of less diverse customers walked in and were immediately greeted warmly and asked if they needed help by the same individuals who had watched us enter without acknowledging us. At that point we decided to leave. We will not be returning to this store, and I will no longer be purchasing from their website either. It's unfortunate, because we were genuinely excited to find a local place where we could support the hobby in person. It was a very disappointing experience.

    (I know AMain Hobbies has 3 locations in Chico, but I'm leaving my review here as I believe their…read moreonline customer service is done out of this location.) Let me say right off the top that I wish I lived in Chico so I could visit AMain Hobbies on a regular basis. I've had two phone interactions with customer service over the past week and both times I've been blown away by the quality of the service. First I bought a 1/24 Axial SCX24 on clearance and CS helped make sure I had the best deal possible. Second, after getting the set and finding the usb charger & battery were defective, AMain sent me an upgraded charger/battery free of charge. Both calls were very pleasant and as a new R/C enthusiast, they answered every question with positivity. I just wish there was an AMain here where I live in Oakland.

Shortly after, I called to inquire about hosting his birthday. I was told they were just starting the planning phase of hosting birthday parties and I would get a call back. My son was over the moon excited when we got the call back from Shaun to book the party. Come to find out we were the first birthday party they hosted and it was down right the best birthday party ever! Much to our surprise Shaun made custom personalized stickers and a giant banner for my son (that we even got to take home). They had the party area reserved for us to decorate with our party decor as soon as we arrived. They had all the cars charged up and ready to go right on time for all the guest to use upon arrival. Shaun and his team gave great instructions and after everyone getting to test out the cars for a bit Shaun got over the loud speaker and announced a couple races, personalizing it just for our son. After about an hour of racing we braked for pizza and doughnuts (my son's preference over cake) while Shaun and his team charged up the cars for the second wave of racing. We had all ages of racers for the party from as young as age 8 all the way up to age 85 and let me tell you, this is so much fun for anyone at any age! I highly recommend hosting a birthday party here! 10/10 Thank you Shaun!
