PostNew hobby shop opening soon

There's a new hobby shop in town!

It's called "Hobby Home", most of the kits they sell are offroaders, and more than half of them are Traxxas. They have only got displays near the windows right now, the rest of the shop is almost empty, so we will find out more then. But at the moment, they have a variety of pipes and tires for the HPI Baja, and a few other HPI spares.

I know the picture quality isn't great, but please don't be ungrateful, I had to cycle a really long way to get these pictures.

Search for this on Google Maps to see where it is located..

"25.225291, 55.376292"

...Without the ""








I will post updates as I see more of what they sell, and when the store opens.

I drive past that every day on way home from work, it's just a block away from my office, but I had not noticed it.
Will keep an eye on it and pop in when it looks open.

I think that shop in Deira already closed, maybe they shifted to this new location. smile

Funny you mentioned the Deira shop. I think that was also called Hobby Home.????

Yep, hobby home has been around for a LOOOONG time, but they were always pretty useless unless you wanted a boxed BAJA.

They are the Traxxas agents, and when the original Slash was released, I asked them if I could place an order. They said they would not be stocking it...EVER.
I called Traxxas in the US, and asked where I could get one. They told me to call 'Hobby Home' and would not deal directly with me.

I clicked the "Add to cart" on Towerhobbies.com, changed the qty to 5 and get them all here for a cost of US$215 each.

I hope they have improved their customer service and attitude since then...
