We have been in business selling hobby grade RC's since 2014 and specialize in all types of models from various name brands. Over the years we've collected several for ourselves and are excited to be able to share them with you.

Our Collection
The Limitless 120mph
The ARRMA LIMITLESS is literally the FASTEST factory RC street basher with speeds up to 120mph right out of the box! It's limitless, because it can go even FASTER depending on YOU.
The LIMITlLESS excels on all roads, in all conditions: on loose gravel, asphalt, or short grass, and in the sun, rain, or even ice. It's bash-hardened and fully customizable, allowing you to tune the aerodynamic balance just how you want it.
​
In addition to the low drag LIMITLESS body, which comes already trimmed and decaled, we've included front and rear wings that can be customized to tailor the downforce to your preference. To further enhance the aerodynamics, the chassis design includes a front splitter to balance downforce distribution and a rear diffuser that increases downforce and grip, enabling you to corner faster and with confidence.
DESIGNED FAST, DESIGNED TOUGH. Check out this video by ARRMA
Halloween TRX4 & Quake
The Black Chevy K10 is a Traxxas TRX4. This particular model retails for 599.99 and includes everything except a battery & charger. It includes a long arm lift kit, 2.2 tires, remote 2 speed transmission, and remote locking differentials. It comes in several body options and is fully customizable to include adding LED lighting, remote winch, and bed accessories. It's the perfect ride for Jason Vorhees!
​
Elvira's Monster Truck (MT) is a the ARRMA Quake! This is a new release and retails for 269.99. It also does not include a battery, but it's brushless power and can run on 2 or 3 cell LiPo batteries, which makes the 2 wheel drive insane! Lots of color options to include this Halloween themed orange / black. Check out the video by ARRMA!
6x6 Flatbed
This is the TRX6 made by Traxxas. It comes in a couple of different variants, to include a Mercedes and a Hauler Flatbed. This particular model also includes remote locking differentials, remote 2 speed transmission, and an operable winch for the bed.
​
Like all Traxxas and most hobbygrade rock crawlers, they are fully customizable with wheel, lighting, and body accessory options. The back of this one has a custom 3D printed bed and rear fenders. It has actual oak wood planks on the bed & rails that have been stained. It also has a custom 3D printed bumper, making it the perfect setup to haul your favorite halloween trinkets like a Good Guys Chucky!
There are many options, check out this video from our own local crawler community, Dalton's Alaskan RC Adventures!
The Flying Hobby
We have been into the flying hobby for decades. All of the planes hanging above you really fly, and most of have been flown by us at some point.
Starting with the blue SuperCub proudly pulling Country Cafe's banner, this was one fo the largest foam planes made by E-flite. It's the Carbon Z Cub, and runs on a 6s (6cell or 22 volt) battery. E-flight has come up with several variants over the years, to include the Carbon Z Cessna, T-28, and the famous Skip Stewart BiPlane! Here's how they fly
​
If you are interested in getting into the flying hobby, come by and see us. There are many beginner / entry level setups that are simple and easy to fly. There is also a local flying cub, Midnight Night Sun Radio Control, which has it's own dedicated flying field near 9mile Richardson Hwy.
Helicopters 101
RC helicopters have been around for over 40 years. Early models were extremely expensive...and mostly unreliable. What has changed over the years, is better precision in the manufacturing and much more reliable electronics. Because larger helicopters, like the "Zombie Response" hanging over your head, need torque and high rpm to spin the large blades...there is a lot of room for error both in the manufacturing and build processes. RC helicopters today come in several sizes, ranging from micro (tiny handheld toys) to giant 900 gas and electric beasts (which are extremely dangerous).
​​
Just like real helicopters, there is a gryo that tames the tail rotor. Many larger RC helicopters have highly tamed gyro's to aid the pilot by limiting pitch and bank angles (making them easier to fly); however, 3D pilots typically have these turned down so they can fly inverted, sideways, and in reverse!
The one hanging above you is a 600 size, which is about mid level. This particular helicopter is an older model Align (brand) that has had many expensive upgrades to make it 3D capable, meaning it can literally defy the laws of physics with being able to perform unbelievable aerobatics. Newer helicopters, like this yellow 800size SAB Goblin, are manufactured with 3D flight built in mind. They are more powerful and lighter with carbon fiber frames and blades. A helicopter like the SAB, with the transmitter, will set you back about $2,500! You will still have to build it and program it so it flys how you want. Check it out
