    Great place for hobby cars, best deals in town. Great prices. Local and affordable. Cars are great for kids and adults.

    3 years ago my wife and I went out shopping to celebrate our Anniversary. One of the places we…read morestopped at was Pegasus Hobbies, as I had been considering taking up slot car racing as a hobby again, I was really in to it as a kid, and so was my Son when he was a youngster. All of the staff was friendly and helpful, but Eric in particular was very instrumental in getting me excited about re-visiting an old childhood obsession. In the three years since, Pegasus and their staff have been very helpful and supportive. They have never tried to sell me anything I didn't like or want and they've always seemed genuinely happy to see me, greeting me with a smile whenever I entered the store. I once had to exchange an expensive car months after purchasing it and they were happy to oblige, even though I didn't have the receipt. I read a review where one customer called them racist. Not true, I'm African-American. If you want to take up a new hobby or re-visit an old one, there's only one place to go. Pegasus.

    This place is cool in the sense of they have a lot to look at and more then what over hobbie stores…read morewould have but the people aren't the best don't like answering questions or even having a conversation I was trying to ask questions about my UDR and I got one word answers and definitely not the help I needed they just gave me to the mechanic there who once charged up the ass to fix definitely nicer then the other guys but lowballs the hell out of you place is cool but if you need help don't go here

    We travel full time for work so the wife and I took a month or so to spend in the Joshua Tree area…read morein our off time. We decided to desert camp close to a RC track. The 1st time we visited the owner and staff were helpful, friendly, and social. They invited us for race night and said we could even use a rental car for the night since we didn't have anything for their class. Unfortunately, that whole experience felt like we just paid to be track marshals and then be rushed into races we weren't even ready for. Either way, we made the best of it and enjoyed our time together through the event. At the end of the night, the owner asked me about my experience and, being transparent, I told him the other racers were driving dirty by putting other drivers intentionally into the wall and, from my experience, I wasn't really a fan of rushing out to marshal every race while I watched regulars sit back. Over the next few days, the owner began to display a growing chip on his shoulder. At one point, I was working on my car and asked the owner if he could help me with some soldering. He said he would help but avoided my pit table for the rest of the evening and even made a snide remark to another customer about being asked to solder something for me. If it weren't for another regular there who ended up giving me a hand with the soldering, I'd probably still be waiting for the owner to come through with his commitment. We were invited for another race night after fixing our short course truck. We drove an hour trip to the track only to be told they weren't racing that class that night. So, we stayed and watched all the races to make it worth our trip. That must've upset the owner because, afterwards, we went to a local outdoor track and were told all about the local drama. Unfortunately, as visitors to the area, minding your own business isn't good enough for the owner of Coyote Hobbies because he will want to start drama with you. If you're not from the area, he will likely try to make you the scapegoat for his own drama. With how uncomfortable he made us feel over time during our stay, I'd highly recommend anyone traveling through to avoid this place if you don't care for conflict and drama. This place is known for it and has no problem making you the center of the drama they start. The owner is well-aware that he is the only race track/hobby shop in the area, and he has no problem using that monopoly to his advantage. It is people like this who turn newcomers away from the hobby, and it's clear that he really only cares about advancing his and his son's careers in the RC world. Be prepared to kiss the proverbial ring if you plan to take a trip to Coyote Hobbies.

    Just visited Coyote for the first time yesterday to try to trouble shoot my kids RC car that wasn't…read moreable to drive forward or reverse but the wheels would turn just fine. Now let me say that im not at all knowledgeable in RC world stuff which is why I wanted to go get some advice from a SME (subject matter expert) which is what I thought I would fine there. Well...I was mistaken, when I walked in with my kid and the RC car in hand the guy behind the counter was talking to another person (which at first I thought was a customer he was helping) so I waited patiently until it was my turn. However I quickly realized this was a personal conversation about the guy behind the counters personal vehicle and customizations that were being done. The "customer" was giving feedback on parts and customization advise and this conversation continued for several minutes...again I waited patiently in the corner as there was no one else in the shop. I was not asked if I needed help until well into their conversation and felt as if I was interrupting their convo, and even then the convo continued on in between "helping me". End result was that my motor was bad and continued to talk, did not give me options or what I could do until I asked what my options were, then I was told here is a motor that should work (should work?) As I mentioned in the beginning I thought I was coming to seek an SME but man I was mistaken. Oh and did I mention the convo continued? I was done and wasn't going to spend my time or money there so I respectfully said ok thanks (mind you at no time was I rude or disrespectful or even interrupted their convo) and walked out, while the conversation still continued. I ended up going home and tinkering (with something I know nothing about) and watched a couple of YouTube videos and was able to get the motor working again due to some stuck debris. Now my kids RC is working and no thanks to coyote. This isn't even to bash Coyote but some constructive criticism, as I have 3 RC cars that I play with my kids and 3 potential upgrades or fixes/sales were lost. I really hope they read reviews and strive to improve the customer service.

There was a tournament going on which was nice to see. Second time coming here I had a better experience, was actually helped out a lot and got free items because I had explained I was new to pokemon collecting and I guess they noticed my enthusiasm. Nice people overall, definitely a place I'd come back to because their stock is always changing out. Prices are based off tcgplayer which is nicer than ebay/scalp prices for sure, but a lot of their cards ARE mint or near mint so you will pay a lot more for a card than if it were lightly or moderately played, which is fine, but kind of is a downside if you just want an authentic card in your collection and not necessarily to grade. So just look to tcgplayer and filter NM card for accurate pricing of what you'll most likely pay. Nice place! And employees are knowledgeable and nice.
