Wow! This is by far the best shop in Town for new RC cars in stock and all the parts you can imagine. The owner and staff are very knowledgeable and are patient in helping answer any questions. *Disregard the 1-star review below. My friend was in the shop when this guy was screaming at the owner, irate about a car he bought used off someone else. My friend came over after experiencing the encounter and told me that Ariel nicely told the man that he can't help a customer who treats someone in that manner. Super class act Ariel! read more

When things go wrong DO NOT expect any help from this store. Their customer service is horrible! They do not deserve to be open. I bought a plane from them and the motor died in the first flight and the owner lied about the repair and the help. We are a group of 5 that get together to flight every weekend. In less that 2 weeks between all of us we spend well over two grand at this store. He was very happy selling us all the stuff but when one of us (me) had a problem with the purchased item that is where all the nice guy show changed to a very rude, insulting and offensive guy. So I got a plane from him. when i got the plane I asked if it could fly on 3S battery and the owner said no. It needs to be on 4s because it need power to fly. I said ok and he did not have the battery there so I bought it from amazon and did not fly the plane that weekend. The next Saturday I go to the field and put the plane in the air to just be surprise by the motor burning up in the first flight. I take the plane to the store and ask for help. Immediately he tells me to call Horizon and to deal with them. I tell him NO and to please help me the plane died in the first flight. I ask for him to do the claim and once the parts are there that I would install them. Finally he accepts and takes the plane and tells me to check in 2-3 weeks. In 2 weeks I check and he tells me that he still working on it and to check back again. A couple of days later I call him and same answer. So at that point I propose a solution. I ask him to split the cost of the repair but at his cost that I know id well under $80 for it so I would do $40 and he can do the rest that is less than $40. Just for context I had my GF in the car and she heard the whole conversation. He agreed to the deal and placed the order for the parts. When I went yesterday He wanted me to pay full price for all the parts. He never sent anything or called Horizon to the plane repaired and on top of everything he insulted me in front of other customers and was extremely disrespectful to me and my friend that was in the store with me. O told him to keep his parts and that i would take my business somewhere else. Since yesterday my group has ordered 3 planes and he did not get a cent of those sales. And all the planes are planes that he has in stock. He already lost more the the $35 that would have cost me to be happy with my purchase. So Ariel Thank you for showing us how bad your customer service is. read more

So much fun at this hobby store. Giant remote control airplanes, cars, trucks and boats. Parts available for most of the collectibles including giant tires. These items are not cheap but so much fun. The Space Invaders arcade game was interesting. read more

This is a full blown airplane, and monster truck and boat remote control hobby shop. At first glance, I quickly realized that this is not your grandmas hobby shop. Giant airplanes hanging from the ceiling and model cars and trucks stacked against the wall. A clear glass remote control display case proudly in view. Alot of the customers here are part of the Markham Park remote control airplane clubs. The thing that drew my main attention were the monster high end remote control trucks at the front of the shop. The employee, Hyme, assisted me with some common questions regarding the battery life and pricing which was $800 - $1200 based on many factors. They do offer smaller not as powerful versions of the trucks for under $500. The back of the shop had a super cool train set on display with horns honking and moving trains on the track. I had one of these back in the day. Plenty of wonderful stuff here for the expert or novist. read more

Being new to the hobby, I couldn't have found a better hobby store to answer all my questions and needs. I met with the owner, Ariel, an honest, no pressure kinda guy. He steered me away from buying items I didn't need as someone new getting into RC planes. Ariel got me into an Apprentice STS 1.5M as my first plane and I absolutely love it! Ariel also put me in contact with a local trainer, Armando. A super humble, nice guy who met me at the park and showed me the ins and outs from A to Z. Had me up in the air in minutes! Ariel and Hobby Glades definitely has my business!!!! So glad I found this place!!!!!! read more

YELP SUCKS! Why would they hide my review? I have like 20 of them and on other stores I do see my reviews. Their algorithm sucks, they think Im some how associated with owner? Give me a break! You have a true customer who had a great experience and they flag it. YELP SUCKS! read more

Customer Service = Excellent I visited a few other hobby stores locally and wish I had tried Hobby Glades first. I called Hobby Glades to inquire about product availability. Ariel answered and was very patient and helped me. I decided to visit the store and was warmly welcomed by Ariel. Once inside the store, I told Ariel what I was looking to do and he was very patient. Ariel showed me my options and after I selected what I wanted, he walked me through setting up my boat and gave me a tutorial on how to use my new ProBoat. Ariel's patience for a person new to the RC hobby and his customer service has resulted in Ariel having a customer for life. I even cancelled an entire order I had with Traxxas online and asked Ariel to order the stuff for me so that I could give him the business and support my local hobby shop. Highly recommend. read more

I was looking for hobby stores not too far from me and came across Hobby Glades. I called and left a massage of what I was looking for and within a hour my phone rang. Ariel asked me a few questions about what plane I was going to install the Servos in and told me he had in stock the servos I should use. Ariel didn't try to sell me more expensive servos asked how I was going to fly the Ultra Stick and said these would work just fine. The price was better that other on line stores and it was a pleasure to actually talk to someone face to face. A great business to buy all your hobby needs. Thank you Ariel. Bill Pallan read more

Super nice store and people! I'm new to RC planes and Ariel set me up with an Apprentice STS. I had it flying the very next day with Armando as my flight instructor. Great team! They really take the time to nurture you into the culture of RC flying. Hobby Glades is more than a store; it's a source of invaluable information from the staff and other customers. I look forward to learning and doing more business with them in the future. read more

I will 100% recommend this place! The owner of this store is super friendly and really really helpful. My family buys from this store all the time and every time we go it's always amazing. I've bought a Mojave 6s, Typhoon 6s, Twin otter and now not long ago bought a Beechcraft and they all work amazingly and look amazing ! Now I'm staring to bring friends over to hopefully get them into Rc planes and many more. Anything you need, they have it and also the support. read more

I found this shop online. I was looking for a shop that worked on gas RC boats. I have spent a good amount of money on boats at the shop (more time in the shop then I've been able to use them). I also have an electric RC car I took to them they did over $400 dollars worth of work. 2 days after picking up the car, second time playing with it the car catches fire. The next day I take it to hobby glades and Ariel the owner tells me he's not going to fix and doesn't want to do business with me anymore. Extremely bad business. Over $1000 I've spent at that shop in the last month on all my toys and then treated like garbage. Beware!! read more

I was in ft. Lauderdale for a few days ,so I decided to go to hobby glades. I had a list of parts that I needed. I was met by the owner. What a nice guy. I told him I was from Atlanta so he showed me his store. I went to the back of the store. Wow it's was huge. He had monster size planes he was working on. There was cars,trucks,planes and all kinds of parts throughout the store. With my list in hand. I asked for everything on it. Well I was amazed I got everything on my list. This place has everything in store. No need to get it online. read more

Visited this store looking for a charger and ended up buying a Traxxas TRX4 crawler. Out of any hobby store I have been to this has been the best customer service experience I have received. The owner was very informative and explained everything I needed to know about my purchase. He took his time to show me every option I had with no pressure to buy and gave me the best options. I'm very happy with my new toy and plan to come back for future parts and future new toys. read more

I took my youngest son with me to look for some potential Christmas gifts, my son is very active, the staff HobbyGlades took very good care of us, and they were super patient with my child unlike people I've dealt with in other Hobby Stores, great selection and nice people! read more

My son really enjoyed the lesson and the time spent in Markham Park with Ariel , the trainer! . He learned so much on his first lesson of flying: taking off the plane, steering and general knowledge on how planes models work! My son can't wait for his second lesson! Ariel is really knowledgeable and you can tell he loves what he's doing! Thank you, Ariel! read more

Killer store, even if you aren't into rc, pass by and you will without a doubt have a great time. Not only are there some real cool stuff in there, but the prices are as great as found online. By far the best hobby shop out there. read more

I have been living in Weston for the last four years, and I never knew that this small hobby shop existed in our area, when I first visited Glades Hobby, first impression was of a very humble store with a great crew and willing to help any type of hobbyist including the ones that don't know anything about the RC world. My son and I were very overwhelmed by the amount of airplanes cars, parts and boats that they had in the store and yet the owner and the employees of the place were so friendly that we were really exited that the store would definitely be our one stop shop in our neighborhood. I have now been buying equipment from Hobby Glades for a year and I am very pleased with the type of service and help that the crew and the owner have always given us as hobbyist in the field. I appreciate everything those guys do to make us happy in the RC world and I can tell you that I will continue supporting a small business as opposed as buying from the big guys online which you'll never be able to get a good answer from a phone call. Please support your local hobby store as they are not many and I found that is the same price as online. Thank you Glades Hobby for the continuing Hobby Support. read more
