Bought a kraton mini armma and loving it. Had a great experience and super helpful.I will be back.

I had an incredible experience at this shop. I am new to the RC hobby game. I was expecting to be up sold and told that I needed to buy something that I didn't really need. To my surprise, the two gentlemen really helped me find value for my dollar and a customer service was impeccable. I will definitely be back! read more

Insane collection of RC Grade vehicles from crawlers, bashers, watercraft and aircraft. Was in need of a replacement propeller away from my hometown and figured I'd check them out. Once I saw their stock I figured I'd just get all the replacement parts I've been holding off on. Will definitely come back when I'm ready for another plane read more

I went to RC Lynx for some advice/help with a battery issue I was having with my RC car.. I was warmly greeted and given the advice and help with my battery issue, the guy there fixed my battery for free, gave me some knowledge how to avoid this problem again and sold me the correct charger I needed and an extra battery..I had a good experience there and am planning on going back to have some upgrade parts installed. I would recommend RC Lynx hobby. read more

Great service! Nice Staff! This place has everything and if they don't have what you're looking for they can get it. I was impressed with the selection and knowledge they provided. My son got his upgrade RC place and we were not disappointed. Thank you Rclynx! read more

Definitely the place to go for any RC needs. -Arturo read more

RC Lynx Hobby Shop - Slayer Pro 4x4 - Hobby Shops Near Me - Modesto, California

Not sure what the issue is with John. I went there when I was in the Central Valley and I found everyone there super helpful and nice. Even got some good advice and info from one of the repeat customers. Very clean and organized. Prices were competitive. I bought a RTR kit and am very happy with it. I'll be back if I ever need anything when I'm in the area. read more

Love coming to this place. Great people. Always helpful and friendly every time I come in. Money well spent. Can't wait to spend more.

Not sure why others got bad customer service but I had the complete opposite experience picked up a new Crawler and was greeted and helped immediately read more

RC Lynx Hobby Shop - SCX24 - Hobby Shops Near Me - Modesto, California

As soon as we walked in they treated us polite and asked us is we needed help. We went to ask questions about a couple ARC Toys and they answered all of them with detail and also recommendations about what ever was the right fit for us in the future if we wanted to purchase a new little car. They're patient and well explained about what they offer you to sell and about any questions you have. Great place and working staff. read more

In summary: Amazing inventory, super pleasant and knowledgable lady at the counter (Tam). All that positivity is ruined by a rude old guy (John) who pops out the back to scold you if you stand in the wrong spot. I would love for this to be my go to shop, but I will not be coming back because of him. read more

Really wanted a Traxxas Stampede/Bigfoot, no matter where I looked including the Traxxas website everything said sold out, not RC Lynx! Sure they were sold out of the newer body style BUT.. they had the classic. They are friendly, great selection and the sheer amount of cars, trucks and parts is incredible! I recommend them to anyone in the hobby or looking to get into it! read more

Great experience everytime I go in. They are not just trying to sale me something. Very helpful with all my questions as I am only 6 months into the Hobby. Small quaint place. Will be back for sure. Was also very easy to return and exchange a Slash 2 wd for a 4wd vxl. read more

RC Lynx Hobby Shop - Shop Help supreme - Hobby Shops Near Me - Modesto, California

No face cover and rude as hell and no help at all. He stares at me always judging and customer is never right there. never coming back.

Very nice people. I also go here for my rc needs. I wished they carried traxxas brand. But besides that they always have what I need. Also Avery nice selection cars and parts. Always somebody to help. read more

I had a great experience with Rod and Tam - ended up with some brushless RC truggy and truck for my girls. We'll be back!

Thanks for an awesome place to shop with friendly and helpful staff! They have lots of stock and can even offer maintenance and repair services. read more

Fun and helpful staff they have a good inventory selection everything I needed they had in stock

This place is legit! I didn't think we had anything like this in Modesto. If you're in the market for an RC Car, starting at $125, this is the only place to go. The best part? I expected to see the same car cheaper on Amazon, and I'm always willing to spend more to support local business, but it was actually the exact same price! read more

RC Lynx Hobby Shop - Great selection! - Hobby Shops Near Me - Modesto, California

Yes, yes, yes. Knowledgeable staff, good selection of FPV quadcopters. The owner showed us the merchandise, and then deferred to his excellent manager to hook me up with exactly what I needed. I had recently fried the flight controller on my Nanohawk...I was desperately jonesing and needed something to fly. I left with a TinyHawk II and several batteries. The lovely manager hooked my batteries up to a tester before giving them to me, what a boss, right? These folks have earned my undying loyalty. Thank you RCLynx! Y'all kick ass, I will return! read more

It was a little hard to find but I was glad I did. This shop is a great place for RC parts for any type of RC product you're using. The staff is friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. I was able to get exactly what I needed for my RC boat and also learned some stuff too from the staff that was very informative. read more

Extremely poor customer service...man named John yells at people who touch his RC cars that are on display...he clearly does not belong in retail. My sons have spent thousands at this shop, they are adults not children...my son lifted a displayed RC car he was thinking of buying and from the back he yelled at him as if he were 5 years old...yelled at him not to touch the car...they lost the sale and an exceptionally good customer. We went to another store and my son bought his next RC car. He asked if he could pick it up...their response was "of course"! They also sell wrong parts which requires a second trip to get the correct parts...this has happened several times. We will not return... read more

Great variety of RV Cars, boats, etc. Customer Service is knowledgeable, friendly and understand your issues/concerns as they are serious RC'ers! You need parts? If they don't have it, they'll get it or refer you to someone who will have it! Awesome shop! read more

I just returned from buying my sons first hobby grade RC Truck from John at RClynx. He has a great selection for all levels. We were looking at 1/10th scale cars but he advised that a 1/18th scale would be better for my 9 year old. John's prices are the same as you can find on line and he is knowledgeable and friendly. They also have spare parts so you can pop in for replacements when you break something in a crash or you can upgrade your vehicles there. John also had a good selection of planes as well as plastic models. I will definitely be recommending RCLynx to anyone looking to get into RC cars or trucks. read more

Went to buy a new truck yesterday, stood inline for 15 mins. Get to my turn and the lady starts pulling her regular customers that were inline behind me! Not only lost that sale but all future sales from me! Went straight to Cen cal rc and got great customer service! read more

Came here based on a lot of positive reviews, shopping with my daughter to buy her 1st RC car. She ended up picking up a Traxxas 2wd Rustler and a Traxxas charger/lipo combo pack. The lady working was helpful and gave me a small discount, every little bit helps. They do have quite a few cars and trucks to choose from. You wont find this place unless you're looking for it. I appreciate and support local shops that still offer RC fun for everyone. I haven't had an RC myself in over 25 years so I'm out of touch with the latest and greatest, but in speaking with 'Big John' over the phone prior to coming in, he was very helpful and gave me some suggestions (which is why I went with a separate battery and charger rather than the factory combo that includes them with the Rustler). They even had some throwback Tamiya cars from back in my day (reproductions) which was pretty cool. read more

Hands down the best RC place to shop for all your RC needs. They got everything! A vast array of RC's and accessories from everything you can think of. The staff is very knowledgeable and friendly and will help guide you if you so need to in discovering the RC that is just right for you. The staff aslo does repairs and test batteries. read more

Good place to go if you need some 3 and 4 cell lipos. They have all the connections and such too. Usually I order everything online but I'm glad I stopped by here. Would recommend the place if you're in the RC game. read more

The owner itself was helpful in assisting my needs. Then, also gave me idea & recommendation for what's the best parts to be used to fix my RC nitro buggy that I got from online. For being newbie in this hobby RC stuff. read more

Had a very bad experience there today the lady didn't know anything about what we were buying and the owner yelled at us and told us to leave and all we did was ask a couple questions. read more

Very poor customer service. This man called John is extremely rude, so just stay away from this place. Just let this place close down because the owner has no business talking to anyone like this. read more

Absolutely terrible customer service. Went to RCLynx to pick up an order I made from their website and was told they don't process orders online and they wanted me to pay an invoice they sent through my paypal. After talking to paypal and my bank I was told that the merchant (RC Lynx) needs to accept the money I sent them through the website payment process, lo and behold they said the money isn't there. Asian lady in the store front is nice, but Fat John or whatever his name is was very rude and doesn't seem like he wants to help out. Made me feel like they don't want my business so guess what, not going back here again. GO TO CENCAL HOBBIES INSTEAD, friendlier people and will help you out with any questions you have. Should have went there in the first place and got my Traxxas TRX6 in 10 minutes instead of having to deal with a rude shop owner. read more

I just had one of the BEST customer service oriented experiences in a long time! I bought my son a remote control airplane for Christmas from a local hobby shop (RCLYNX Hobby Shop at 1025 Lone Palm Ave. suite #2F Modesto, Ca. 95351-1579) My son flew it for the first time and crashed it after about 5 min. of flying. Unfortunately, the propeller broke and the propeller shaft bent. John told us that when the parts came in that we purchased, he would fix it for my son for free! In a time of "Big Box stores" and customers being treated like just numbers and pieces of a bottom line, it's refreshing to come across a company that treats their customers like the all-important parts to its success as they are. I would highly recommend RCLYNX Hobby Shop for all your RC needs. read more

Awesome store. Modesto is lucky to have this place. Came in looking for a battery no one else had. Will be back for all RC needs. The cars are his main selection but lots of planes and some quads. read more

the older a**hole (owner i am assuming) was rude the moment i walked in the door. i was there to spend money. i live around the corner and thought riding my bike over would be a great idea. I work on bikes for a living and just like the rc world the people that do it for a living have the nicest equipment. i walk in with my bike because leaving outside in the sketchy area where they are located would insure it getting stolen. then I'm out 4 grand. i ask politely if i can lean it against the wall while i shop and the old dude that has no bussiness even speaking to me chimes in and says word for word "that's where my customers stand" wtf do you think i am? it took every ounce of restraint i had to be respectful and just nod and listen to him berate me in front of 3 people. the younger guy was rad. super nice. helped me out answering my questions about crawler and stuff. HE ENGAGED ME. i was trying to keep my business local but due to shitty customer service i will be buying on amazon or going to cen cal hobbies. avoid this place. read more

This place and John are unbelievable in this big box world we live in. I purchased a midsize drone from John and in about a week one of the motors went out, when I took it in John not only gave me 2 new motors but showed me how to install them as he did it. Great service and this place will go out of their way to help you, have a little patience, its a small place and can get pretty busy. read more

After having a bad experience at Norcal Hobbies in San Jose California, I was visiting the city of Modesto and decided to visit this shop with my girlfriend and two other friends. At first, the shop is in a very hidden spot, so unless someone who is looking into RC car hobby, they probably won't find this place. When I went inside it was a very small tight place, but I was greeted by two gentlemen. Which is great because Norcal Hobbies didn't greet me from the 30 minutes I was in there store. So that's a plus. As far as inventor goes... Dang, they did have a lot of stuff available. RC cars, RC boats, I think I saw a few flying RC's too. I liked that they had a lot of things to look at. I was already looking for a particular RC, and that was the Traxxas Bandit. The person who helped was very friendly and knowledge, he had the color I was looking for too. (Plus points for that) All in all, it was a very great experience and will come back again if I'm in town for their services in the near future. read more

These days it's hard to find good RC shops. I have a 12 year old gas truck that sat for 10 years. I didn't get good help at the big hobby town shops that I checked out so I decided to run out to Modesto and check this place out. It is a small shop in a hidden spot but once I walked in I knew I found my new hobby shop. John worked on my motor for a couple of days and couldn't get it to budge. I was concerned untill he told me traxxas would replace it with a new motor for only $80. Two days later he called me and said its all ready. I am very happy with the new motor. While replacing the motor he noticed a few little issues and took care of them for me. If your a RC person you need to check this place out and leave the hobby town shops to the average toy players. read more

Wow! Went in today to buy a number of things one of which was a set of tires/wheels! I asked his employee if I could open the package to be sure I was getting what I needed (the package does not give the size) the tires where 45.00, she said " no way" I asked if John was in, he came out of the office and said the same thing! This package could be opened a closed with one staple! I have been there at least 4 times in the past 2 months and have spent well over 400.00! I hope it was worth loosing 3 customers! FYI, I had planned on spending at least 200.00 today! So back to towerhobbies.com! read more
