Why a real hobby shop

Buy from people who fix these for a living.

Genuine parts, only

Everything we sell comes through our authorized Traxxas and Horizon Hobby dealer accounts. No gray-market stock, no knock-off parts, full manufacturer warranty.

Ships in 1–2 business days

In-stock orders go out by UPS or USPS. Free standard shipping on $99+ in the contiguous US. LiPo batteries ship ground only, to the lower 48.

30-day returns

New, unopened items get a full refund within 30 days of delivery. Opened items may carry a 15% restocking fee; batteries, chargers, powered electronics and painted bodies are final sale once opened.

Help from RC people

Not sure which part fits? Send us your model and we'll match it. Defect in the first 7 days? Contact us. After that it's the manufacturer's warranty — Traxxas covers electronics for 30 days, then repairs them at a flat rate — and we'll point you to the right place.

  • Great place with great people. I have been coming here for the past year and have been to another shop in Pearland but this place has the best customer service and knowledge on the cars and trucks. My son loves his new birthday present.

  • Needed a connection soldered on my Traxxas boat a few weeks ago. RC Hobby Shop took care of it for 20 bucks and had it done on the spot in less than ten minutes. The guys are great to deal with as well - would highly recommend!

Something's wrong with my new truck. What now?

Contact us within 7 days of delivery and we'll work with you and the manufacturer to make it right. After that, the manufacturer's warranty applies. Traxxas warranties its electronics against manufacturing defects for 30 days from purchase and repairs electronics for a flat rate for the life of the part after that; those claims go directly to Traxxas at 1-888-TRAXXAS (1-888-872-9927), and we're happy to help you get started.

Are your parts genuine?

Everything we sell comes straight from the manufacturer through our authorized Traxxas and Horizon Hobby dealer accounts. No gray-market or knock-off parts, ever.

Do I need to buy anything else with a Traxxas truck?

Most models need a battery, a charger and four AA cells for the transmitter, and the chooser on each vehicle page lists exactly what yours needs. More in our guide: New to RC? Start here.

What does 2s or 3s mean?

It's the cell count: a 2s LiPo has two 3.7-volt cells (7.4 volts) and a 3s has three (11.1 volts). More in our guide: Batteries and chargers, explained.

Where is the Traxxas model number?

The manual cover prints it as MODEL plus the number, for example MODEL 58234-8, and if you can't find it, send us a photo of the chassis and box. More in our guide: Find your Traxxas model number.
