Great Service and Staff. I enjoy assembling 1:35 scale polystyrene military vehicles. I had some technical questions regarding model paints, shades, and washes. The individual i spoke to spent a very generous amount of his time informing me about the issues I had with particular model paints, stains, and finishes. read more

Best service and advice EVER!!!!! Bruce, Hunter, Aidan, Tim. Always have knowledgeable advice on anything I pursue. Be it street, off road, or in the air they know what I do and don't let me get into too much trouble. They cover all the bases. 5 stars in not enough to rate this place! read more

Service is A1!!! I'm not from the area but as much as I visit over the past 20+ years I never knew this was here. Found them from a simple banner posted at the N8ive drift track around the corner. They have nearly everything here. read more

Sadly wanted to like the place but the few times I've been there I get the feeling I'm not wanted. Not sure if it's my skin tone or maybe something else. I wanted to like it here as they have a wide variety but not super friendly, rather shop online and not deal with being ignored and less than. read more

Under new ownership different vibes not the same as good old Jake used to be prices are pretty much very competitive not very much scx24 parts . read more

Well, despite their being unable to solve my issue with an RC car from the late 1980s I was very impressed with the shop and the amazing array of RC vehicles that have evolved since I bought my one and only pair in the late 1980s for my daughter. I revived them but one wheel would not come off so I went to Jake's to see what they could do to get the screw off. The gentleman who's name I don't recall tried his best but to no avail as the screw head was ridiculously tiny so the whole head fell off leaving the screw in place but with no head. At least that allowed me to get the flat tire off and replace it with a new one I had from the 1980s and I'll likely simply glue the plastic wheel retainer in place rather than drilling out the screw. The point of this review? The tried their best to help me and didn't charge me a dime despite having never set foot in the place before. Never once did they try to sell me a new car replacement though they had 100s. But if you want your jaw to drop at the current State of the Art of electric RC vehicles be prepared to be amazed even if you just go to gawk. Thanks Jake's for trying to help me! I really appreciate it. read more

Best place in town for your R/C purchase or repair needs.

This place wants to scam you. They have a no return policy even if the product is defective. They act like it is totally fine and will scam you out of your money. They never even mentioned a no refund policy when I purchased it. read more

Went here yesterday since my kids rc wasn't working. It was a simple fix that they helped me resolve and then off to the track. I saw Jake as well and he researched to see if the rc parts are available to me since they didn't carry these since my car was a prebuilt uncommon brand. Very helpful and as with any small business, starts from the top down. Great customer service! Thank You! read more

The best Warhammer prices I think I've ever seen. Super friendly guys behind the counter. Amazing selection of stuff, paints AND models. Couldn't really ask for more, I think this is my new go-to place. read more

I'm visiting from San Jose and decided to check out the store. They have a great selection of Warhammer 40k models. The prices were great too! Friendly and welcoming staff as well. I'm planning on making future purchases here. read more

Incredible customer service and great prices absolutely love going to jakes they got my repair done in 5 minutes can't recommend enough

Got my E-Revo back in time for the weekend. Brought it to Jake's needing repairs done because it got sucked into the ocean, all the bearings were rusty and stuck. Did a great job and great price. Thanks again!!! read more

Jake's Performance Hobbies - Traxxas E-Revo - Hobby Shops Near Me - Rohnert Park, California

This is a great hobby shop! Being new to the hobby when going in there and asking questions, they totally make you feel comfortable. I have to drive an hour to get there and have no problem doing so. I went in to get some parts for my Slash and the service was so good that I left with another car for my son. Looking forward to another trip there. read more

I can't believe I haven't written a review for Jake's hobbies yet. I have been going into Jake's for over 20 years, every time I'm there I'm treated with respect treated fairly helped out more than I deserve and always leave there happy. Thank you for fixing my Vortex pro that I destroyed in less then a week. Ben read more

Purchased a Traxxas Rustler RC from Tim right before Christmas, He is a great salesman and very knowledgeable friendly guy. Love the RC but steering had to be trimmed almost all the way right to get it to go straight. Brought the car in to see if it could be adjusted back to Center, young man I talked to said not to worry about and if I did want it fixed I would have to pay for it, going to live with it for now. But when ready for upgrade will have them open it and test drive it 1st. read more

Great customer service and very helpful and I just purchased a a Traxxas hoss and I'm loving it and when I'm done with school I go out and use the traxxas hoss everyday . read more

Awesome place! Super friendly and very knowledgeableur go-to spot for all RC goods! We are into 3 models now and are having a blast!!

Jakes is the best Hobby shop for miles. Everyone there is friendly and very knowledgeable. They can handle just about anything you need. They do repairs and trouble shoot problems. VERY HELPFUL AND FRIENDLY... Thank you Jake read more

Special thanks to Dan! Hunter,Tim you're cool to man & yes the man him self, Jake. Simply the most knowledgeable, friendliest staff. These guys have a passion for what they do and it shows. Customer service is great. If you're looking for a company/staff Who is knowledgeable with professional RC vehicles, airplanes and helicopters from drones and more. I definitely recommend Jake's performance. The prices are awesome, and believe me I've done a lot of research. These guys have the best deals and the best product. Personally I don't see myself going elsewhere. These guys are great!! Thank you Jake, Hunter , Tim & special thanks to Dan. Appreciate all your effort and making my RC cars look awesome and perform well. Down below are some photos of what these guys could do. Highly recommend Jakes performance. read more

See all

got my crawler through him super helpful

Why no masks on your staff? This is our second time visiting without masks being worn by your staff. My son loves your store and I want to shop here. You've always provided us with great service but would really appreciate if you guys would wear masks. read more

I have purchased several RC TRUCKS from them and I have always been satisfied. I don't like the cost of the toys but those are toys that I want and that's the price for them. Is my expensive taste.... The service and tips have been always been helpful. I will continue to be a customer. read more

Great place! These guys have everything one could ask for in the way of RC cars, trucks and planes! They've even got boats! Once you get over the fact that these are hobby grade products in this shop and NOT at all like the TOYS you'll find at Radio Shack, you'll truly see these guys are some of the best in the biz! If not the best... If they don't have it, keep in mind, they can probably order it for ya! read more

No matter who is in the shop when walking in we always get a Hello. Everyone is easy to talk to and knows their stuff. In the past I have walked in and set my crawler on the counter and just by taking a quick glance Jake knew what I needed. Also most of his prices are cheaper than online. My son and I have been to other shops in the area and none of them is more welcoming than Jakes! BTW my sons first stop is always the simulator. A++ work guys. Thanks! read more

Jake's specializes in all things radio control. Tons of parts, accessories, equipment, controllers and kits for cars, airplanes, racing, drones and every other conceivable rc thing. Including my great grandfathers favorite hobby from the 1940's balsa wood kits. Can't speak for the other items but this is an excellent place for multi rotors. Can you find cheaper items elsewhere? Of course. I liked the better quality and the service and support with learning how to use the stuff and the best ways to get the absolute best use was more then worth the extra expense. Gave me tons of great advice and tips. Like with installing and calibrating the camera. Not the kind of things the novice user might consider. The spare batteries were likewise a great piece of advice. And the blade guards. Seriously i would never have figured that thing out as quickly except for them. read more

Came here today after hearing great things about it. Did not disappoint!! I'm new to RC and had a few parts needing replacing on a Traxxas Slash 4x4 and Searching for LiPo batteries on the Rustler (my existing ones for the slash didn't fit). They answered all of my questions, had all the parts I needed in stock, and saved me money over Amazon (which was surprising). Highly recommended! read more

I've been a customer since 1996 and plan to be for life. Jake is God in R/C world. He has forever shown second to none customer service and is a wealth of knowledge and tips. What I like most about this shop, is the consistency in its character. I can come back year after year, and it continues to be the same pleasant, ego-free, authentic environment it's been since day one. Talk about refreshing! Thank you again for all the years of R/C enjoyment and cheers to many more! read more

LOVE THIS PLACE!! I'm 30 and I used to live right around the corner and drool in the windows when I was around 10. Now I'm able to actually go inside and be a customer. Every single one of the employees are great including Jake the owner. They will spend as much time as they need to insure that you are happy and out the door running. I usually bring a few buddies and my toddler aged daughter with me and its always a good time. They never even trip on my little girl running around pulling things off the shelves! Great place! read more

Awesome!! It's humbling to walk in Jakes as a female and receive the same respect as a male. Everyone was amazingly nice, and helpful. Great prices, and selection. The servers was wonderful both from Hunter and Jake himself. They replaced a couple for parts for me on my vintage Traxxas E Max got me up and going the same day. Thank you guys. I will definitely be coming back. read more

I was looking for a gear type thing for a refrigerator drawer that broke and thought maybe they would have one. They were so helpful with suggestions even though they couldn't find anything that I could use. They have a huge inventory of anything that could be remote controlled and with how helpful they were I am sure anyone who is involved with this hobby will be impressed with the service and selection. read more

Decided to get into RC and checked these guys out, was not disappointed! Found a great entry level truck for $50 and have been having a ball re-learning how to drive one! Knowledgeable and friendly staff, great selection from beginner to expert and no pressure sales are a winning combo! I will most definitely be back!! read more

The best hobby shop I have ever witnessed. I always feel like part of the hobby family when I visit. Even when I have half-baked questions that they try to decipher! read more

Went to see them after I heard so many of my friends rave about the store and the owners. So I was in the market for some remote control toys for my son and found to be a kid in a candy store. And I'm hooked ever since. Jake and his wife Kat are the nicest people around. A pleasure to do business with. Hope the store will be around for many more years to come. read more

Jakes is one awesome RC place. I just got back into RC and live in Napa so their isnt a lot of close places for RC. So I decided to give Jakes a visit and am so glad I did. With this whole internet tax thing that just went into effect there isnt as much a savings buying online anymore. And not only did I get the car I wanted at Jakes it was actually LESS than retail. The service and friendliness has made me a permanent customer. If you are looking to get a new RC give this place a chance to win your business. They carry a lot of cars and trucks. Traxxas, Arrma, and more. I just bought my first Arrma and am a huge fan. So now that I know there is a close shop that carries them thats where Ill be going for the next one for sure. read more

passed Jake's many times but never looked in. finally did. looked like they carry parts for all kinds of mechanical gizmos. was invited in by the friendly cashier/owner? declined. was short on time. jake's ignited deja vu flashback of youthful days playing with my plastic airplane/warship models. some day when i have more time i can check this place out and have memorable flashbacks. read more

Great shop and helpful staff will definitely keep my business! Good inventory had parts that no else did. Called and talked to Jake and he pulled the parts and kept till the weekend so I could come pick them up. read more

I had a problem with my car and Tim took real good care of me. Jake's has most parts in stock if not cat get them in a timely manner. Will recommend to friends. read more

Thank you Jake's! This place is the only place I will go for RC and parts. I recommend them to all my friends. Their prices are competitive to any prices you could find online but you get the added value of their expert advice! Very helpful staff! read more

Jake's and his team at the shop are super helpful and very knowledgable with RCs. I've been going to his shop over 10 years. Great place to get quality RTR and build kits. read more
