G S Hobbies

Hobby shops like these are a dying breed we need to support the mom and pop shops or we'll all be racing Tyco cars from radio shack and wallmart. True Hobby enthusiasts will appreciate this shop.

The shop itself is not well kept on the exterior but you shouldn't judge a book by it cover... I felt the owner was kind and helpful and parts were plentiful. There is a ton of stock in the little store and prices are great, a bit more than FleBay but I enjoy supporting local business.

When my dad drove me to the place to get my RedCatRacing RC truck fixed, I saw a building that didn't even look like a rc store.So, when I walked in the staff didn't even welcome me.
And when I asked the staff if they had parts for my Redcat, she looked at me in a disgusted way and said get away from me. Then, she said get out off here, people like you don't belong here. But, I didn't and she didn't mind. Another thing, they don't have price tags for the RCs they sell and that's illegal in NJ. That also means that they could throw enormous numbers at you if your a first timer. People that write good reviews on it probably went there a lot and are close to the staff but new people that don't use HPI or Traxxas shouldn't be treated like this. Also the store was dirty, the people looked dirty and they were! So, the next time someone's asking about this hunk of junk, all I have to say is forget it! Oh, I forgot, they don't even have a website!

Place is great have everything you need. Jo jo in south river Is not the place to go unless you want to get ripped off...

This is that rare small but well stocked mom n pop hobby store which I truly enjoy visiting. It is a gem to have such a place one can walk into with questions. Great advice and meeting people with similar passions is the best way to shop. Highly recommend.
