Branson Hobby Center

"Just came in today for a few Rc parts not expecting much it was amazing. There was a wide stock of traxxas Rc cars, parts and motor systems there was also paints, trains, and tons of other cool things. I will definitely be coming back soon."

"Super cool store and the owner is super cool and definitely will be coming back to pick up more models and supplies"

"I wish this shop was much closer to my home town, but the two hour drive is worth it. Well stocked with essentials for your model railroading needs, and plenty of extras. The staff is very knowledgeable, and take time to answer questions for folks new to the hobby."

"I stopped by here on vacation when my son's Traxxas truck broke a wheel caster. I bought the part and since I was on vacation and didn't have any tools with me, asked the owner if I could change out the part right there at the counter. Obviously the shop has all the basic tools to do this kind of thing and then some. It only takes a screwdriver an an allen wrench. But he replied, "sure, if you have the tools", and walked away. I was blown away that he could be so callous. So I said nothing, went back home and got the job done with my Leatherman. I would give this shop a 5 star rating for everything except customer service. For me their service was like a slap in the face. The owner could have lent me a screwdriver and an allen wrench to do the job - such a simple job - but instead he said "nah." So if you're considering this shop, I'm also inclined to recommend "nah" unless you're desperate for a specific part, and even then, don't expect the owner to care about you. Such a stark contrast to the rest of the very warm, welcoming Ozark area. UPDATE: After seeing the owner's reply to my review, I wanted to re-emphasize that he offered zero explanation to me on why he wouldn't let me use his tools. He didn't offer any explanation at all, just refused and walked away. I called him on the phone when I saw his reply to my review. He said he tries to explain his no tools policy to everyone that asks, but admitted that he may have forgotten to explain to me in this case. So far he has not edited his response to show that, so I'm mentioning it here."
