This year I am trying to really commit to shopping locally for things and I'm glad to find a place that has much of what I need for decent prices. I also always enjoy meeting folks who have knowledge, expertise and good salesmanship. Looking forward to returning for my next project's needs!

I called ahead of time to find out about model ships and the owner was helpful and answered all of…read moremy questions. As a first time shopper for my aunt who enjoys this type of hobby, they had a variety of items such as military planes, tanks, battle ships, and subs too. I enjoyed the display of all of the models to look at as they had many types of cars, trucks and more. It felt personal as this is a privately own established business that I enjoy supporting and contributing too.

I took it home and when I assembled my model , it turned out one of the components was damaged (near the wires that were soldered) It cost $50 for a new one and they said that they weren't at fault and turned me down. No compensation... Pretty disappointed, as I don't really have a stable way to make money at 14...

Hey bud, if you don't like your job THEN LEAVE. Everytime i have gone in there even with my pregnant wife I feel uncomfortable. And i see the way other customers are treated. Customer service is garbage but for 1 guy making it worth the trip. The value and pricing of parts should be lower due to the weak a** customer service. I am not the first nor the last to have this issue. Let's keep the hobby alive! No reason to kill it with salty a** people. This is as far as I go out of respect to the owner. But do not expect a friendly experience with RC's here.

When my grandson liked WW2 planes the person (I don't want to say salesman since there was absolutely no pressure or upselling) explained the different types of planes. Also he recommended which ones for a beginner modeler based on size and number of parts. Very helpful. Plus I called for a question when he started painting. The question was answered right away without having to be transferred to another person. So very helpful in that store. I'd like to also click on value but they only let me select service and selection.

I have done business with a wide variety of suppliers and Reynolds is now my top choice for materials. They just know their stuff when it comes to making something. With casting materials and mold materials there are so many choices from so many suppliers it can be a challenge at times to find the right path to get the results you want. Laurie at Reynolds in Tempe just has it down where the guess work is at a real minimum. Not every project or job is a 1,2,3, to finish operation, so anything that takes out the error and saves you money is a bonus in my book and Reynolds does just that. Oh yeah, be ready to gawk for a while if you're a creator, because your choices and tools available at Reynolds far exceeds many of the suppliers I used while working in Hollywood.

Plus every other week their yearn is 30% off so I made sure to come the correct week. Even though their prices have gone up, that still drops to an affordable amount. The aisles were nice and clean. The employees are not always the friendliest although some are. But they are always available to help you find what you are looking for. I found a cute pair of lavender shorts but there was no place to try them on so I went ahead and bought them in the size I thought would fit and brought them home to try, knowing I could take them back if they didn't fit and try another size. I asked about the return policy and the girl told me you have 60 days with the receipt and 90 days without a receipt. I thought that was more than generous. I'm sure I will be back.

Service/Selection 5/5 To be frank, this is my wife's store that I've come to appreciate. While she's of getting picture frames, artwork of other interior design pieces I love to pour over the books and affirmation items. I always find something to grab and save for that time when someone needs their spirits lifted. They have them and I scooped up five! Books, I typically find 2-3 as title change quickly. Scored a big one today. Value 5/5 This is truly a value store, fun inventory at reasonable prices. Marking today's visit harlarious was my dilation.

Track fee is $10 per day/night, or you can sign up for the monthly membership at $50 which also includes free competition entry. The shop is run by father-son duo, Rob and Shane, and they're two of the most helpful guys to have around; helping all of their new and returning customers stay out on track. Track quality is extremely nice, polished concrete which really helps for realistic scale drifting. The shop also sells RC Rock Crawler, Mini-Z, Kei Truck and others but it's certainly mostly centered around drifting. Great group of customers returning here - everyone just wants to have a good time and help each other out. Incredibly glad to have found this spot, and it's for sure my new haunt. Great vibes up in TandemRC!
