Nankin Hardware & Hobby Do-It

Nankin Hardware Hobby ia a joke! Very limited supply of parts and a bunch of kids running the counter who know NOTHING. This place sure isn't what it was 40 years ago. I will NEVER shop here again. They are more interested in selling you

So i went to nankin for the rc cars and they do have a very good variety of rc stuff. I asked the counter person to look at a couple trucks off the shelf and he got them down so i could look at them. They are kinda high in pricing on some

I like this stor a lot. They are a hardware store as well. it is like one stop shopping. They have a lot of stuff. And unlike the internet you can get something when you need it. I have never had problems with the staff and they are very helpful and offer a lot of good advice. I read some of the other reviews and i think some people are not ready to handle some hobbies and should pick up arts and crafts. These guys do a good job and everyone is lucky they can stay open for us.

I have gone to Nankin hobby a few times to shop for slot cars and also for a RC truck to buy as a hobby for myself.After looking around at the RC cars and trucks the counter person just stared at me.I had to ask him for help and he was very cold and not helpful at all.So I went home and bought a Himoto truck off ebay and ho slot car items off ebay.WOW what a great price compared to nankin,so I guess the counter person was right,the internet is killing them in sales.Years ago when I shopped at this store the people were friendly and helpful,wonder why things changed there.

I recently purchased a RPI Savage gas powered RC car for my son for Christmas. Whe I got it home, I followed the direction on breaking in the motor before using the truck. But to my surprise, a screw fell out where the roto start connects to the truck. I took the truck back to Nankin hobby for help, but was disappointed to find out that they don't repair these trucks. When I asked to exchange it for another, since I didn't even get to get it going, I was told that they wouldn't do that either. After spending more than $600 on this truck, all I got was a truck that I need to take apart myself and fix, before it can run. If I would have known this, I would have ordered it of the Internet, instead of buying it locally, as the support would have been the same. The manager told me that its normal to have to take apart a new RC car the first time you buy it to tighten everything down, but the manual didn't state anything like this. I guess I was expecting more from a local dealer.

I hate walking into the big home stores you could walk for hours and never find help- this store gives personal service and and they can show you how to do things too. great selection and staff

PROS: small and helpful
CONS: may cost a few pennies more
