Was awesome and amazing culture This RC shop is an awesome place for anyone interested in remote control cars, planes, or drones. The staff is super friendly and always ready to help, whether you're a beginner or experienced hobbyist. They have a wide selection of products, from affordable starter kits to high-end models, plus plenty of parts and accessories. The store is well organized, making it easy to find what you need. Prices are fair, and the quality of the items is great. I also like how they give helpful advice and tips for repairs or upgrades. Overall, it's a reliable and fun place to shop for all things RC. read more

Whip It RC Raceway and Hobbies - Idk - Hobby Shops Near Me - Reno, Nevada

This place is located in the middle of nowhere and when I finally found it, I got attitude and a dismissive "no" when I asked if they had stuff for Kyosho mini Z. People always say to "support your local hobby shop", which is why I wanted to check these guys out since I was in town. Now I know not to go back. read more

This place is great! Really really good service, great people: caring, kind and passionate about all things RC

100% the best place I've ever been too...and I don't mean best hobbie shop I mean it's the best! Chris and erin are the best owners in the business end of discussion.....the track is perfect always and the part support is unreal read more

Nicest people and very helpful to my son who is new to building a car. They went above and beyond in their services both times we were there! read more

Great spot and helpful staff, was able to walk in and out with a new RC car with minimal effort. They were able to answer all of my questions and you get a month of free track use when you buy a new car. The track looked fun and I'll be back to try it out and update the review. read more

I went here originally to check out what cars they had but the pandemic has increased the want for RC cars and they are short on inventory but can help you find and order one still if you ask. They have a lot of parts, batteries, wheels, body clips etc. Super helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. I am looking forward to using the track. read more

Whip It RC Raceway and Hobbies - Hobby Shops Near Me - Reno, Nevada

What a great find. Our family were in Reno and found this place. It had an off road track, drift track and a rock crawler track. It's great to have a variety of tracks under one roof. The staff there behind the counter was friendly and helpful. We ended up buying a new Slash body and an SC28 and some parts. Price is what you will find similar elsewhere. Next time we head to Reno will definitely be burning our R/C. read more

Was pretty stocked with Rcs. Fun clay track and a drift track also like that they are adding a crawler course. Nice TVs if you want to watch football. Helpful staff. read more

See all

I was visiting in town and stumbled across this place, and I'm very happy I did. Since coming back to Nevada every now and again, I make sure to make a pitstop at Whip-It.. even when I'm in no need for parts. The staff is welcoming, knowledgeable and patient! You need a part or have any questions? If you're in the Sparks/Panther Valley area, head in to Whip-it RC! read more

Whip It RC Raceway and Hobbies - 4S Traxxas Maxx with WideMaxx kit. - Hobby Shops Near Me - Reno, Nevada

The indoor track here is amazing. They take great care of it. Only about $15-$20 bucks to practice all day on the track. They have a huge area with work benches to work on and tune your RC car while you're racing or practicing. Pretty good amount of parts, large selection of cars to purchase. It was pretty busy this Saturday. Their pricing is the same as the pricing that I find online so might as well support a local business. read more

My boyfriend found a Groupon online for us and decided to take us on a date here and boy was it fun! I had never done RC races or even seen a track but the staff set us up with the tools we needed and after a few laps I got the hang of it and was flying through the track. There were about 5 other people there also racing on the track and I was worried I would be crashing into them but everyone was understanding, helpful and considerate! read more

Showed up with a broken Traxxas during a camping trip an hour before they opened and they fixed the car by taking a motor out of a used car and swapping out mine for $25 bucks!!! Great service and great knowledge!!! Highly reccomend!! Thank you Whip It, you made a 14 year old boy very happy!!! read more

They went above and beyond to diagnose what was going on with my car.NO other place will go to that extent for 1 customer I will defiantly be going back to them for ALL of my rc car need 100% recommend. read more

Fantastic store and racing track! Friendly, helpful staff, and had the Traxxas part we needed. I liked that folks can rent an RC to take it for a spin on the track. read more

This place is a gem. They are extremely helpful with answering questions, getting parts, checking things over and doing repairs. Friendly, honest and straightforward staff. Extra bonus is their indoor raceway. It's well maintained and a blast to use. Support local businesses with great staff and visit Whip It. read more

So much fun! I used to race when I was a kid and now I take my son to race here. We have a blast every time we go. My son is getting older so we go here for practice laps on Friday nights. He wants to race but enjoys just doing the laps for practice. As he spends more time here, he gains knowledge about the track, track conditions, and how to hit the jumps just right to land the truck upright. The staff of good and the races are conducted quickly and they have a good announcer. The people who race are very nice and helpful except for one older guy why seems to get enjoyment from telling kids what they can and can't do all the time... The only down side I would have to say is just that they don't carry enough new cars and trucks on hand. Not sure why but the last time I went, I wanted to get another truck for my son but they were out of everything that would be competitive in regard to new vehicles. Oh and prepare to sweat a bit because they keep it like a swap in there with the clay track. This place is fun and I highly recommend it. All night access to take practice laps and race for just $12. read more

The only RC shop still open in the Reno area. Nice owners and employees. Decent stock of parts and gear. Decent prices. Have a whole indoor racetrack too. read more

Horrible customer service. They sold us the wrong battery and it fried our car while still in the store and they just walked away. Do not recommend!!! read more

Whip It Raceway is my home track in Reno. It is in Reno's Panther Valley which is only 5 miles north of the I-80 and 395 junction. The indoor off-road clay track and hobby shop cater to dedicated off-road racers, Traxxis, Axial and rock crawlers. Also has drone racing and an HO slot car track. This is the place for radio controlled vehicles in Reno. Adam and Jennifer Kushdilian are the owners with Peter (Adam's father) always ready to help keep things running smoothly. Love the place. read more

Me and my brother went into this store to buy two rc cars. They had sign showing a promotion of a car with a battery and charger included for $229. We ask the guy which ones this deal includes and he points out the cars. We decide to buy them but as we are checking out I notice on the side of the box that it says that the battery and charger are not included. We tell them and they were like well I guess you're gonna have to buy a charger and battery. So we are like okay hopefully they'll honor the price advertised but no instead our new total is $395. I wish I took pictures to report them to the bbb. Terrible customer service! They can't honor a promotion that they are advertising! Don't waste your time they are a bunch of scammers working there. read more

I came here Wednesday for transmitter battery and the guy said they don't have it and comeback on Friday. So I came here right now and they are saying they had 4 batteries Wednesday and now they are gone!!!! What a horrible customer service. Wasting my gas and time for nothing. I was gonna get into off-road bcz of this shop, not anymore. read more
