Handle It Hobbies is a small, focused hobby shop that specializes mainly in RC cars and trucks, particularly electric models. The staff is known for being friendly, helpful, and very knowledgeable, often able to identify the right parts without needing to look them up. Customers appreciate the staff’s willingness to share tips, do’s and don’ts, and their assistance both in person and over the phone. Many reviews highlight how helpful and experienced the staff are, making it a great place for newcomers and seasoned hobbyists alike. The store offers a good selection of parts, batteries, and pre-built kits, catering mainly to land-based RC vehicles. While there are a few helicopters, the shop does not carry nitro engines or fuel. Visitors often prefer to shop here rather than online, valuing the ability to talk directly with knowledgeable staff to get advice on upgrades or repairs. The owner’s expertise is appreciated, especially when they can identify the exact part needed quickly. Though the store’s selection is not extensive beyond RC cars, trucks, and related accessories, it is well-stocked with connection adapters and chargers, such as Spectrum and ISDT models. Some limitations include the absence of high "C" rated batteries for longer-range or high-performance applications. Additionally, the store charges a 3% fee for card transactions, which some customers find less favorable. Overall, Handle It Hobbies is a friendly, knowledgeable, and convenient local shop ideal for RC enthusiasts focused on land vehicles, especially those seeking personalized advice and a good in-store experience.
