Chippewa Falls R/C and Thrift

Great little RC shop. The owner is knowledgeable and friendly.
Selection of cars and parts are great as well.

Found exactly what I was looking for and I would highly recommend for anyone looking for more than just your average retail store remote control vehicles

Love this new hobby shop. Owner really makes sure his customers needs are being met. Stop out and check out all the things this place has to offer. I hate ordering online. I like to see what I'm purchasing. And I love my new erevo brushless 4wd.

Great to have a Hobby Shop in Chippewa Falls. Met the Owner Rex really nice guy, he has a lot of rc stuff - airplanes, cars, models, helicopters and parts both new and used. Just about everything you'll need. He is just starting out there and hopefully we can support our local businesses and stop and shop, leaving the internet out of it.

They have lots of common new and lightly used parts. He answered all my questions and had just about everything I needed to get my brushed 1/16 slash and brushless 1/10 stampede up and running again.

So much stuff here, the owner is super nice and helped us pick out a beginner r/c airplane for my son.

My husband really loves this shop. The owner provides friendly personalized service. Definitely a stop for all your rc and hobby needs.

Rex is a great guy with a wealth of knowledge and parts.

Place said It was open and was not. Please update hours online if going to be closed. I looked in the window and it looks like a place I'd really like to check out

This is they type of store that you walk I to and wonder how long will this stay open. It was open for awhile then closed. Then he had a sign up that said closed due to people wasting his time. Showed that to the hobby shop's in the cities and they just shook their heads.
I had found 6 things (landing gear, 3 props, and misc) I was going to pick up for plane parts today. Then I saw a plane I was interested in getting. He had to do his online search to see how much he wanted to charge. 169.00 ok I asked it it was new he said yes. I asked him if I could see it. That upset him and he said well are you going to buy it? Why else would I ask? He said you have asked before and not bought anything. I tried to buy a plane from him a year ago and he said it was new. When he opened the champ the wing had been repaired and didn't connect with the remote. Hows that for new? I'm guessing with his unpleasant personality he still hasn't fixed it. So I walked out without buying the parts I needed and no plane.
For the record I had bout 5 receivers from him before and misc parts. Hard to buy much from a guy that doesn't carry anything new or want to get anything.
Maybe he will get his dragster wheelie bar fixed as that was the thing he was swearing and complaining about.

Funny thing the store is closing I wonder why :-)

Unfortunately we did not have a great experience. We were sold a vehicle that was "like new", however came with a slew of issues.
One tire had a chunk of rubber tore out
one tire was not glued to the rim
one bent shock
charger/battery he sold us did not work

It was overall a poor experience and we will not return.

Went to check out the store with some friends and see what all they had, asked the owner if he had any xmaxx's for sale to which he sat there for a couple minutes to tell me he has one but didnt know if he wanted to sell it, finally he says he wants to keep it waits till we are outside about to leave to come out and change his mind and show me the xmaxx which ends up being a used xmaxx that he wanted to sell for $1,200 hundreds more than new. And complanined about getting it out after i said id have to think on it.

Over all Terrible experience and over priced used machines.

Beware of the sign that says no refunds. Which includes a wrong part to an overpriced vehicle you bought from him. That is if you can see the sign through the cigarette smoke.

Terrible costumer service. Doors were locked during posted store hours with a sign to call the owner were nobody answered our call.

Awful customer service, the owner is absolutely horrible. Sells broken cars and then refuses to right the situation. STAY AWAY

On knowledgeable wrong parts unfriendly not impressed
