History
Established in 1998.
We opened our doors on February 1, 1998, as Redneck RC Raceway & Hobbies, bringing Central New York a place to enjoy the excitement of remote control racing and hobby fun. For nearly two decades, we grew alongside the local RC community, becoming a hub for racers, families, and hobby enthusiasts.
On October 1, 2016, we rebranded as Underground RC Raceway & Hobbies to better reflect our expanded vision and unique indoor racing facility. Today, we continue that legacy with multiple tracks, top RC brands, and a focus on creating a welcoming space for everyone—from first-time drivers to seasoned racers.
Meet the Business Owner: CALVIN H.
Underground RC Raceway & Hobbies was founded by Calvin Hall, whose passion for RC racing and hobbies began long before the shop opened its doors. On February 1, 1998, Calvin started the business as Redneck RC Raceway & Hobbies, creating a space where local racers and hobby enthusiasts could come together.
In 2016, he rebranded the store to Underground RC Raceway & Hobbies to reflect its growth into one of the most unique RC facilities in the region. Thanks to his vision, the shop has expanded into a 35,000 sq. ft. destination inside Destiny USA Mall, featuring multiple indoor tracks and a wide selection of top RC brands.
Calvin’s dedication has always been about more than just selling cars — it’s about building a community. His goal from day one was to create a place where families, beginners, and seasoned racers alike could gather, race, and share in the excitement of the RC world.
