Great all around, super friendly, real nice, great selection, best place to buy models in MA

I came here looking for Die-Cast Cars, which unfortunately they did not have. However I was impressed by there selection in other categories, such as model planes, RC cars, Dioramas for trains, and a sizeable model kit section for Pokemon or Gundam. The service was very good, very busy inside but the staff knew their selection quite well and even offered some suggestions of places that may carry what I was looking for. The prices are reasonable as well. I can't speak on the things besides gundam, but the gundam were priced nearly the same as online retailers after shipping. A nice store that I would visit again for any hobbyist needs. read more

I bought a Xmaxx 8s and broke the drive cup. I drove to see if these guys could fix it. YUP! They were closing soon but the technician quickly worked on my RC truck and we were on our way. They got really cool stuff there. From trains to motorcycles and boats and drones. read more

The guys here are so helpful and knowledgeable. They repair things so quickly and my boys love going there to watch John and his team repair their cars. We love it there! read more

The service, selection, and expertise was spot on. Great selection for rc and model trains, planes, and cars. The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. #1 staff member is the shop dog Murphy Brown a chocolate lab. They have all the parts needed to fix your planes, trains, and more. They also fix your models and rc for a fee; it's definitely worth it. They also have a dirt mound in the back to practice using your cars. read more

We bought a RC monster of a car for my son. The selection and service were great: knowledgable and friendly staff in a cramped place. When one of the suspension parts of the car broke off, I drove back there (a few months later) and they had all the parts and fixed it quickly on site for a reasonable fee. Highly recommend! read more

My friends and I have gone to Hobby Quarters for years, but recently, there have been some problems with the staff's expertise and RC car knowledge. Recently, my friends went to hobby quarters to get wheelie bars and tires for their cars. The girl there gave my friends the parts they needed, but when they were putting them on, they didn't fit and my friends had to return them. My other friend went to hobby quarters to get a new battery, and the workers there gave him a battery that blew out his motor. But that's not the worst of it! The workers then proceeded to give him a new motor for free, but they gave him a Titan 12T instead of the one he had before, which made his car 10 mph slower. Very angr! read more

Literally could not be happier with the great customer service and communication. I don't know much about the race cars just that my nephew brought home a RC magazine from here and wanted one for Christmas. I figured I could wait a few days before and just go pick up. To my surprise they were sold out and were expecting a four the day, yes Christmas Eve, but unsure of delivery time. The man behind the counter  took my name and number ensuring me they'd call me to pick up once delivered. True to their word, they called me and I made my nephews Christmas that much better. I would highly recommend stopping in to this great mom and pop store! Keep up the good work read more

The mini z will be a create way to start. read more

We traded a vehicle in on a set of parts & supposedly a body for a different vehicle. Was told that it would fit, no issues. Had even brought the vehicle in to verify. Wait for over a month, new body comes in - IT WON'T FIT. Went back to see what we are supposed to do, since it was part of a trade & they REFUSED to exchange the body that is useless, cuz they screwed up. Not at all happy & will not EVER get my business again. Sly, thieves & liars. No need for that kind of business to exist. read more

Very very knowledgeable staff, and they had exactly the rc plane parts I needed. I will be a regular customer from now on

This store claims to be a horizon retailer which makes me assume horizon would want them to sell there products at there set retail price. I recently went in to buy a spektrum receiver and another spektrum item. Both items were marked up $5 and $10 from what horizon sells them for. When I asked if they sell at horizon prices because they are an authorized dealer they took the price difference off. You can decide if that's shady business. Also other small electronic items are severely marked up. read more

First of all, this place has a great selection of RC machines. Great place to go if this is your first truck. But....poor customer service. It's like they just have no time for you and I've spent thousands of dollars in there. Unfortunately this is not the first time I have felt like I was bothering them when I asked if they had certain parts. They were great when I came in to buy my first truck, but when I come in to ask questions, it feels like, "Don't bother me unless you are spending money". read more

No response to emails. They only care about walk ins, they do not care about online orders. They lie about when they ship.

orrectly or they did something else and broke something else. Example, Employee told me upon 2nd repair that a tightened down on my servo saver And it Steers much better He tightened down on the servo Alright so much that my servo burned out stripped the gears because the servo saver . function was compromised Have Spent a lot of money in this store. No more Just spent $200 on 2 visits and I still have a truck that does not work properly Great store as for inventory et cetera And the gentleman with the long hair and beard was the only one who fixed The gears Properly. Enclosing brought my truck there twice spent over 200 dolland left with a truck That still does not work properly. Great store to buy a product but do not bring it there for service Plus they do not contact you When you have a complaint. read more

Just when I thought I had found a one stop shop for all of my RC needs, I was wrong. Between a new RC and parts i have spent close to $1000 this week at this store. Yesterday, I purchased some parts including a $50 bumper for this new RC. I went back to the store today to return some unused parts including this new bumper that was also unused. As I was returning the items, presumably the owner stated I could not return the bumper. While I was under the impression it was brand new when purchased yesterday, I found out today it was apparently under consignment. Due to that fact he refused to take the part back. The woman that works in the store explained to him that she had never told me it was a consignment nor had she known that. He refused to refund the money for an unused part that literally took a ride home yesterday, and then a ride back to the store today. After explaining I had no idea it was a consignment part, nor was I told that he said it didn't matter. He offered me $25 for the part saying that's all he could do. Wow, shameful customer service. Customer service is the basis for any successful business. While it is only $50, it is the principle that the owner was unwavering even after his employee admitted she was wrong and that I was not told it was a consignment sale. Not only will I never do business with this establishment again. I will make it a point to let everyone know in my RC circle not to shop here. I am only giving one star due to the sweet woman that works there daily. read more

I went there a few weeks ago to see if they had a ball diff rebuild kit or some ball diff lube for an old touring car I'm resurrecting. Said they didn't have it, no big deal. I'm looking around the store after that and I hear someone who works there on the phone jokingly say, "Tell that faggot to come in here next time he's around" or something along those lines. So, dude thinks it's ok to (even jokingly) call someone a faggot, loudly over the phone, in a shop that usually has kids. Cool. Never coming back. read more

Great store! I was needing help with a HO scale farm house to light up because it was going on a cake I was decorating. Everyone was so helpful and they also had a great selection of items that complimented the theme I was going for. read more

I visited Hobby Quarters for the first time a few weeks ago because I broke my RC car and needed to get it fixed . The business was very responsive to my online inquiry and gave my issue a good amount of attention when I dropped off my car for a repair. All of the associates seemed friendly . I would have given them a 5 stars but I found the car parts a little more on the expensive side . Also when I showed up to pick my car up I was surprised to learn that I still had a balance on the repairs . I wasn't previously informed about this and didn't expect to have a balance when I arrived . If the price changed after drop off I would have appreciated a call to let me know . The repairs were done fast and efficient . read more

Great shop for any of your RC needs! Very helpful and friendly staff! Also a top notch crawler course out back!

I went to this store on the hunt for some paint and topcoat for an old hobby that I'm getting back into: GUNDAM model kits. Imagine my surprise when, after being guided to their large paint selection by a helpful employee, I found a whole pile of Gundam models on the shelf! More than just recent stuff; I found some kits that I built 10+ years ago! It was a modest selection of new HGs and RGs and older MGs and non-graded 1/100 kits. I would love to see a wider selection, but I was extremely happy to find these kits populating the shelves of a local hobby shop. Prices for Gundams were fair; some of the larger kits were a little bit more expensive than internet prices, but some smaller kits were below average prices. I'm thankful for the opportunity to support a local store AND not wait for shipping. They also had a decent selection of tools and Tamiya/Testors paints. The store is large and the employees are happy to help you find anything you need. The variety of hobbies that they cater to is amazing and I'm excited to finish my Gundam model and go back for more! read more

Went here an hour before closing on a Tuesday night looking for a new model rocket. Despite Rick H.'s review, I was not greeted warmly or assisted. My girlfriend and I were the only ones in the store and the owner just sat behind the counter doing his own thing. After a few minutes of looking around there small model rocket section (Wrong again Rick H.) I asked the owner if he had a particular type of rocket, at which point he told me to look in the Estes catalog. Not amazing customer service. Prices were a little high, selection was mediocre. Based on this, next time I'll be ordering from Estes directly. read more

I've been wanting to get into quadcopters and eventually FPV for awhile now. I decided I'd start small with a small ready to fly quad. I stopped into RC Hover at about 3pm on a Saturday. The place is jam packed with product so I was a bit into overload mode. I was greater by someone fairly quickly and I immediately mentioned that I'd like to get into quads and wanted a small quad and gave him a model I wanted. They had the model, he pulled it down and handed it to me. I started asking questions about quads and FPV and asked about things I needed to start down that road. I had to probe him and ask questions. I didn't really get the guidance I was looking for. I proceeding to walk to the checkout counter and the man there was staring at his computer and just started ringing me up, without acknowledging me at all. Prices were decent in comparison to online. If they have something in stock, it's worth picking it up there instead of waiting. I left happy because I had what I was looking for, not because of the service. Long gone are the days when a brick and mortar store can sit back and succeed. If you don't provide a service or offer guidance, all you are doing is putting product on your shelves and hoping customers decide (for whatever reason) to shop there versus online. There was no experience here. I'll be back, not because of the glowing service but because I'll undoubtedly crash the quad I built with products I purchased online, and I'll need a prop or two on the weekend. read more

This store is not what I expected..... Actually, for that matter, I didn't really know what this was going to be like. I just wanted to stop in because it looked cool, and I thought MAYBE I could find SOMETHING cool. I haven't really been to any exact hobby shops in the past, so since this place was new and looked exciting, I thought it would be a good place to stop at. Once walking in, it went downhill. Even though the guys working were all super kind and friendly, nothing they sold was anywhere near anything I would purchase. I just don't know anyone into all of these car, plane, boat, helicopter products. Yes, sure they are cool, but not up my alley. Cool store if you are into that sort of stuff, but not really a place for me. 4 stars for friendly, helpful employees and because the store is clean, organized and the largest store of this type in New England! Hours : M-F 9-6, Sa 10-4, Su 11-3. Located in Foxborough Plaza on Route 140 (Commercial Street). Exit 7B off I-95, Exit 13A off I-495 to Exit 7B off I-95. read more

Received a ship model kit from my son for Christmas. I didn't want the one he bought ($179) so I decided to exchange it for another. They charged me a 20% restocking fee ($36) to make the swap. $36 to put it back on the shelf. No wonder Amazon is doing so well. read more

This place is fantastic. I live 45 minutes away and still go there at least once a week, sometimes up to 3 or 4. Staff is super friendly and helpful and they know what they're talking about too. If you're ever in need of any parts or RC supplies, this is the place to go, they have everything a hobbyist (or an avid RC enthusiast like myself) could ever want. read more

Hobby Quarters is usually my go-to whenever I decide not to shop online and deal with the inconvenience of waiting on a product to be shipped to me. I like this place and I honestly don't mind paying a little extra especially if it's to support a smaller scale independent business like this one. If you're looking to shop here go ahead and do it because this place is well stocked with inventory, 9 times out 10 you may just find what you're looking for. -- One thing I will say is, though, if you do shop here, seek help from the tall heavy-set guy (I cant remember his name at the moment) but he is very knowledgeable and has great customer service skills. Avoid the small skinny kid with the short blond hair and glasses because every single time I've shopped here he always has the worst attitude and will ruin your whole experience, trust me. Kid is the only reason I'm giving this place 2 stars, other than that, this is a good business. Give it a try. read more

I visited the store for my first time. I needed some model paint and brushes. They did have what I needed. The price was high. The reason I would not recommend this Business is because they are charging another fee on top of the high prices to use my credit card. I was charged a service fee equal to 3.7 percent of my purchases. This is ridiculous. I will avoid this business if possible. read more

Has a pretty solid collection of RC cars planes, and plastic models, less so of train supplies, but normally a fun place I would want to spend time in browsing. But some of the employees were loudly flouting the state's mask policy, mocking a customer who had mentioned it, and walking and talking loudly with uncovered faces. Leaving aside questions on whether this is smart or dangerous or selfish, it is disrespectful and unpleasant for customers who have come in to the store with the expectation that you would do what you should to keep them safe. It also means they will feel less willing to stay and browse, cutting into sales. I did not enjoy my visit as much as I would have liked to, and definitely did not buy as much as I would have. read more

This is a quick follow up to a prior review of RCHover. These guys continue to ROCK! I had a few Rc questions and we spent a ton of time doing a deep dive on my issues, and at the end, they forwent selling me $100 in parts, but helped me come up with a $10 solution to my needs! I just can't say enough about the service these guys offer, let alone the prices they charge for products. They have a ton of cars, boats and trains going now, but still service heli's (of course)! While I was there,there must have been a dozen car folks in, all asking odd ball questions, and from what I heard, the entire staff was carefully listening to the questions and really doing their best to help everyone. I don't work for them, know them personally, or have any reason to promote them other than the fact that they really know their cars, heli's, and airplanes, love the hobby, and really want to help anyone walking in the door! Don't buy on line, buy from them and keep read more

I had bought an R/C for my daughter's birthday and it had been over 20 years since I'd been in the hobby. Times sure have changed and I was over my head. The guys at the shop were very helpful and patient with me. With their help, the car was running perfectly by the day of her party. Thanks so much!! read more

If you want to sit around a Costco table trading cartoon fantasy-creature cards, move on. If you want a sweet RC that rolls, flys or floats.. Or maybe you need to get one of those working again. This is one of the few places that can really help. Staffed by friendly chaps and having large supply of vehicles, parts and knowledge RC Hover' Hobby Quarters is a hobby shop straight out of my childhood memories. No coins, no cards, no fabrics just wall to wall trains, planes, cars, trucks and helis. read more

We stopped by on a Sunday afternoon a few minutes after 3 o'clock, fully prepared to purchase an RC Airplane trainer (~$400 purchase). Upon entering the store, which appeared open, door unlocked, lights on, fully staffed, we were screamed at by a rude and disrespectful individual (possibly the manager) to "GET OUT!" I get not wanting to serve customers after closing, but I resent that kind of abuse. Either this guy was off his meds or something nasty was going down... that's how bad it was. I've never been afraid in a hobby shop before, but I will NEVER set foot in that place again much less bring a child with me. It appears that another reviewer agrees that the customer treatment is deplorable. This is not the way to treat hobbyists upon whose disposable income you depend on. Fortunately, I have options -- Amazon. read more

Went in to research UAVs for taking photographs at work and the staff was helpful and extremely knowledgeable. They even offered to let me take one for a 'test drive' outside. In addition I was tempted to pick up one if the many other things they have including AWESOME RC cars. Great place! read more

Awesome place! Awesome products! Best customer service around! They know their stuff and so helpful! 10 stars! read more
