About Nor-Cal Hobbies

Tires screech off the starting line. They kick up dirt as they round a tight curve, speeding toward a straightaway. They hit a hill and lift off the track—silent for a tense second as the car tries to stabilize in midair. When they land, the wheels whirr back into action—and the driver breathes a sigh of relief from 20 feet away.

At Nor-Cal Hobbies, remote-control cars and trucks square off in a variety of competitions on a fully indoor, professional-grade off-road track, with miniature stock-car and F1 models staging their own heats at the raceway outdoors. Beyond the tracks, the shop stocks a massive array of RC cars and supplies—all of which can be put to good use in the onsite pitting workshop. Whether staging RC races or helping professional drivers find a way to invent a shrink ray, Nor-Cal Hobbies has one mission in mind: to train the next generation of world-class RC competitors.
