This place just lost a customer and many more because I used to love this place as a kid. GOT parts for my traxxas and they were super helpful. Now I called the place and this rude jerk Garret picked the phone and provided the worst customer experience known to man kind. He was rude right off the bat. I was just asking how much I can sell my traxxas rc car for and this fella doesn't even ask what kind but gets mad at me for just asking to sell an rc car. I called this other place called XL hobbies and they had great customer service! I asked the same question and got a much nicer response and a good explanation on price. I totally recommend going there instead. I don't know what side of the bed Garret woke up on but he should be fired!!! Garret get a life bro, treat people the way you want to be treated. This place sucks don't go here! read more

Shady business. Horrible business practices and policies. Avoid at all costs. They are not helpful, THEY CHARGE MORE THAN THEIR OWN STICKERS ON THE BOXES SAY, and charge a restocking fee even if you haven't even left the store yet. DO NOT SUPPORT THIS STORE read more

Dropped my revo here for a conversion and never got a call back. Went into the shop today and spoke with the guy behind the counter. He started that if it has been there for a while, they take it. #thieves read more

Garry at RC Street Shop is a great guy!! He was very friendly and helpful and the selection is great because he was able to sell me one sweet nitro RC I couldn't find anywhere else!

Fast service department, good music. Definitely recommended they even have plastic models

See all

Some items that the store could improve on: Inform staff that you can price match. I later found out on their website that they can indeed price match. When I called if I can do just that, after purchasing, they said it was too late and they gave me the cop out "sorry it's store policy" excuse. When I asked if they can help w an issue, I explained the symptoms and what I had already done per the manual. I got there, they tested it out real quick, already something I told them I did. And the staff said they can't do anything about it and to call the company to get warranty work. It would have been nice to be told that over the phone rather than wasting time driving to the store only to be told they can't do anything. Even after I told them what had been done. On top of that, during the testing the guy did not even bother strapping the battery on. So as he was walking with it the battery just fell and dragged on the ground. If that's the kind of staff they have, not sure I'd trust their word on something I'm new to. I'll probably try other shops. Shame since this place seemed it had good reviews and would have established a go to spot since I'm new to the hobby and looking to expand my knowledge of the hobby and purchase more cars big and small. read more

Great customer service. Went to a couple of places before I got to RC Street Shop. Roger steered me in the right direction in what I was looking for, which was a truck that I can crash and run over stuff. (TRAXXAS SLASH). Love the vibe I got walking into the shop as well. The people really knew their stuff even though I do not nothing at all. Very knowledgeable staff. Ask a question and they will find you the right answer or lead you to it. Overall great people, great service, great shop to shop. Definitely recommend to come to this place and buy an RC. 06/09/2015 I came in today had a problem with my battery not connecting properly. Dawn steer me into the right place. Even though I had to buy another charger to charge the battery but on the bright side I would have 2 batteries charing at the same time. But there is always a professional attitude and service whenever I come into RC Street Shop. I will be returning to buy more stuff because of the great customer service. read more

RC Street Shop - Traxxas Slash. - Hobby Shops Near Me - Long Beach, California

RC Street shop is my happy place. I've been into all things radio control since I was a little kid, but as adult life took hold I slowly fell out of the hobby I had once loved so much. Enter RC Street shop. Gary is one of the friendliest and most knowledgable people you will ever meet and he'll get you set up with what you need. Since RC Street shop opened my love of radio control has been rekindled at it's given me a healthy hobby to occupy my time and my thoughts. I bought my second quadcopter and planning to get more awesome stuff from this place! Even when I moved to SF every time I'm in LB I always go there. They also deliver with no problems. There is a reason RC Street Shop is going strong, and it comes down to personalized and friendly help, a masterfully curated selection of hobby goods and an amazing sense of community. read more

RC Street Shop - Got the best quadcopter mini. Super robust! The best place ever! - Hobby Shops Near Me - Long Beach, California

Great little shop for all my RC needs, and some of the staff are super helpful on making changes to my existing setups.

I just got back from The RC Street Shop with a Traxxas Rustler and what a great store. Employees were very helpful, friendly, knowledgeable and did not try to up sale me. They even suggested a less expensive RC car for my son, but we decided on an upgrade. My son's first RC car and we couldn't be happier with the purchase and experience. We will surely be back for future purchases. read more

Will not ever go back here. Was online looking at the Big Rock Arrma and they were going for on the Arrma manufacture page for $319.99. So I was like ok well let me check this store out because I didn't want to wait! I go to the store and ask did they have in stock? The guy there found it and there at the store they were going for $369.99! Big difference right? Well I asked the gentlemen did they price match because they're going for $319.99 on the actual website and $339.99 on Amazon! He goes through this whole spill saying that Amazon is selling without permission blah blah. Ok if so, on the actual Arrma website they're going for $319.99. He's like well we don't price match and he can't do it. But I go to the online store RC Street Shop and in writing on top it says $$Price Match! So I don't know if this guy just didn't want to sell to me or didn't want to make money or whatever the case. I won't be going back. I refuse to pay $50 more than what the actual manufacturer website it selling for! If it was $10 maybe even $20 more than website, I would have purchase but since he wasn't willing to budge on the price at all, l left! I ended up purchasing it off Amazon for $339.99 and it arrives the very next day! Sucks for him! I was thinking about going back at least just for parts, but who's to say that everything else in there is way overpriced as well!!! read more

Great place to go if you are just starting off with your first RC car or need an upgrade an existing project. I usually go in for something minor and leave with a new truck to baseh around. Great guys. read more

Staff is very friendly and very helpfull each time I go in always answer my 20 questions lol. Great job

Our experience with the staff was disappointing. They seemed rushed to get us out of the store. They were not friendly and made no attempt to interact with us. We are newbies with lots of questions and needs. You could have put a little more effort into making us feel welcome and you would have have had a long time client who would have spent plenty of money. Our youngest child was in awe and is the most interested and your associates were RUDE to him and we were the only customers inside. It takes a special j@*k to look at a kid who is absolutely amazed with what your store has to offer and then treat him like crap. The atmosphere in this store sucks read more

They are knock off cars and parts are next to impossible to find if something breaks. No return policy, buy at your own risk

I have been to this shop before and have bought multiple items from this location. The first week they opened their doors for business I was there. The thing that really impressed me is my first experience with them. I own a Futaba radio. The thing I really hate about the radio is that the receivers that are used with this model are in the $90-$100 range. Well I went into the store because I was right in the middle of building an RC Jeep Wrangler. I told the owner what I needed and he assured me that what he had would work. So I bought the receiver but it turned out it did not work with my radio. I know they have a policy that you cannot return electronics once you purchase something from their store. But I called him and he took responsibility for steering me in the wrong direction and so he allowed me to return the receiver. He ordered me the correct one and I had it in a few days. There was a slight difference in price but I paid it and it worked fine. Another experience I had with this shop is I bought an little RC Drone. It was a little over $100. It was a small drone that fit in your hand no problem. I had it for a little over a week and it started acting weird so I returned to the shop to ask what might be wrong. The same owner swapped out a part since it was still under warranty and the drone works great. I really appreciated that. Although it is dedicated to mostly RC they do sell toys for kids as well as a selection of Tamiya paints in the 10 ml size jars. They also sell plastic models which is my favorite hobby. All of the employees are great guys and very helpful. I am so happy to have this place so close to home. It is very convenient and they always have what I need. read more

Good place helps with rc love going there always helpful when needed always happen when we go love looking at all the choices.

I was shopping around for a gift to my little son, and was fortunate enough to bump into these guys. What a great little hobby store with a positive vibe. I definitely recommend this place read more

I been here so many times for my son's RC trucks; replacement parts, upgrades, hardware, etc. Bought his first complete kit here. We have Traxxas RC trucks and they always have what I need in stock at very reasonable prices. Not sure what all the other cry babies are complaining about with their bad reviews. Nothing but great service every time I been by. read more

Great little shop. Employees were very helpful. They have a ton of RTR vehicles along with parts.

Ok, I am reviewing this because I am always the one buying this stuff for my husband. His friend Greg, got him into remote control cars. So, on top of being married to the biggest PC geek around, he is also now a RC nerd/geek. Ok, enough about us. I have been in this shop many times, picking up and paying for various items. Jeff ROCKS, he knows his stuff, and doesn't push either. Being totally naive and ignorant to the RC world, he made it easy for me :). He knows my first name, and always has what my husband wants and needs. If not, he will find it. Prices are very competitive, and reallyyyyy good (so I am told), and a HUGE selection it seems of items. In a great location (on Spring Street and Bellflower Blvd.), this is easy accessible right off the freeway with tons of parking. For you gals (or guys) who doesn't want to hang out with your other half while they are shopping, there is a great book store next door to browse in. :) or You can always pop into Tracy's Bar and Grill next door and have a cold one and lunch and then go play with your RC car, truck, plane, helicopter, or whatever! :) read more

Was in LB for a meeting and decided to check out a local hobby store. Based on the yelp reviews it seemed like it would be a good side trip. Unfortunately that is where the good feeling ended. I've never walked into a hobby shop before with such an ice cold reception. No hello, no what can we help you find, barely a nod if anything. I asked a question about a product. The question was answered but delivered with such a lack of interest it altogether robbed my enthusiasm. They had the item I was ready to purchase and I walked out empty handed. There were no other customers in the shop at the time and at least two employees behind the counter. Hobby shops are ultimately a parts and service store. Without the service element there's no reason to shop there. read more

So far really good. The owner has helped me understand the world of charging and maintaining lipos batterys. He has a large selection of rc. And if he dosnt have it he will get it for you. I have met other folks in the area where i work who have nothing but nice things to say about there exsperiance at this hobby shop. And for you MOMS needing help on little johnys school science projects i think jeff has what you need to get a 1st place blue ribbon. read more
