It's easy to get to from I95 and just a little north of I40 near the outlet mall. I'd highly recommend everyone to stop in and see the place for hobby needs.

I had an excellent experience with RC Hobby Nook. The owner and his crew were very nice and…read morefriendly. I was in the area for a work trip and was recommended to visit this shop if I was into RC. Went once to check it out and immediately knew I had to go back as soon as I had another chance. Huge selection for all my RC needs, from 1:28 scale mini z to 1:10 Traxxas. Had a lot of fun putting some laps on the mini z track and was able to race with the regulars which gave me a lot a advice and showed me their collections. Owner and his son walked me through the best and reasonable upgrades for my cars and ended up leaving very happy with new parts for my cars. Will definitely go back and most certainly do recommend to anybody!!!

This place has a great selection of model kits and RC equipment. It's impossible to beat the price of their paints and I make the trip at least once a month to check what's new! Overall I'd say completely disregard any negative reviews because when I mentioned the reviews he explained that the previous owners ran the poor shop into the ground and were super rude. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make the trip to Central Carolina hobbies and support local!!

If you are new to the hobby, he will also take his time in explaining differences and not make you feel like the village idiot! If you are ever in need of a repair, he will treat your rig as his own and will repair in a timely manner! When you think of RC, think of Dale's RC World... you won't regret it!!

All that considered, this place is a solid 5 stars if not 6 because of its uniqueness. I've walked in here many times over the years but it was nothing more than passing boredom and exploring the town. The last time I visited I decided to really get into it. We rented a Mini-Z race car for 30 minutes for $10. The owner lady really gave us about 40-45 minutes which my 11 year old son really enjoyed. But before we even had a chance to race our car, one of the regulars gave him one of his cars to "break in the tires" just as you would real race car tires. He loved it! And then another regular let him drive one of his 4x4 trucks up the crawler table! They have a huge racetrack that takes up most of the space. This is specifically for min-z RWD cars and other RWD cars. They have a bunch of spots on the floor marked where you should stand to race your car. Each car has a transponder and they have a computer system that can time each cars laps and determine the winner, supposedly this is even webcasted on Friday nights when they have all the pro's come in and race for real. But on a Saturday it's just regular people and kids coming to play. I believe the limit is six cars at a time and I have no idea how they handle a waitlist. The crawler track sits on the end of the racetrack and it's for 4x4's. It's on a pulley system so they can lift it up and extend the racetrack on Friday nights. However, outside directly in the back they have yet another 4x4 crawler area. Both tracks present their own unique challenges. All in all this is an amazing activity to do with family or friends that doesn't involve drinking. Fuquay-Varina has around 50 breweries now and 100 bars, some pretending to be restaurants, as of 2025, so finding non-alcoholic activities is great for when you need a break from all the beer. I didn't know they sell Lego and it's pretty much the same price as what you'd see on Amazon or at Kohls, so why not shop local? They obviously sell a ton of RC items such as cars, 4x4s, boats, planes. They sell all the accessories for them down to different sets of rims. They have model car building kits and supplies. Tons of hobby related items. If Christmas hadn't just passed I would probably have walked out with a 4x4 or RWD race car...so you know for sure I'll be back. If you buy your cars here you can use the tracks forever for free which is a huge perk!

After being out of the Hobby Scene for 20 years, I stopped in here on a whim and met Otto and Anna…read more The embody the reason that I loved the RC Hobby community. Everything here is about the kids and the pure enjoyment of things. Ottos happiest helping you discover, make, build or invent whatever it is that you want to- and he's brutally honest about the product. He's going to tell you what his experience is, what's worked and what doesn't work. He points you to the right kits and the best bang for your buck- be that a scale 4wd crawler or a simple foam glider. He stocks the parts you'll need for kits he sells, and won't shy from sending you to a big box for something he can't stock at a reasonable price. Anna and Otto make this store feel like a home to all his guests. I think that's what their secret to success is. Come by, look around. They welcome all, and tirelessly answer questions. Great people. Great shop. Great prices. Great products.

It is for the true hobbyist - I highly recommend checking it out if you're looking for some cool toys. They have drones, model trains, planes, and tanks. It is all very well laid out too. At the back of the store, they have all the train items and an elaborate running model train setup. We have a Lionel train set that we bring out for Christmas every year and this year it stopped working. We brought it straight to the Hayes Hobby House and a gentleman at the back fixed it for us and didn't charge us a thing. They are so unbelievably sweet. I will be back.

One thing they vastly excel at is finding something that will work when the part you need isn't available or in stock which can save your weekend. They have a great inventory of parts and when they order something there is no weeks of waiting like the chain store in town. I don't mind paying a premium (msrp) for parts when it comes with expertise like they offer.
