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.

They took it upon their selves to just cancel my order without letting me know what the date of shipment would be sense their web site didn't show they were out of stock on what I had bought and paid extra for faster shipping by the way. I needed it before Christmas. A few days later they tried to make it right by offering the Blade unit with free overnight if I call to pay for it. I don't give my info out over the phone sense a couple years ago I had lots of money stolen from my bank I chatted with the on line person to see if I could order it on line and they could just upgrade the over night shipping from there but very rudely let me know how things work and I didn't know what I was talking about thinking someone would steal from me with my info. I explained to him how others could get the info and do anything they want with it and I thanked him for treating me so badly and wished him a very merry Christmas. I wounder if they care about anyone other then their in store customers but I have read some of there in store visit folks as well. I'm glad there are other hobby stores out there and I am not stuck dealing with these folks. Well my Nephews Christmas is messed up and will not get his RC till after now because of this place but I'm sure they don't care. As long as they get what they want, right. Merry Christmas everyone. Thank you for taking time to read.

If you have never been to a small novelty Hobby store, this is the one you need to visit and experience. I highly recommend this place.
