RC Madness is awesome. They've been around for years and know their stuff. Tons of kits, RTR and parts. Great staff, bunch of indoor and outdoors tracks. You just can't go wrong here. Chris is a stand up guy and will do whatever he can to keep you running and having fun. New to the hobby? Go rent a car and try it out. Great place.
Chris and his team of RC Madmen have been making RC fun for my family and I for over 25 years and counting. Stop by and say Hi, and give RC racing a try. They have rentals so you can see if this could be the hobby for you and your family to enjoy for the next 25 years.
Best place in CT for RC. They have just about everything you need to start in this great hobby. Friendly people both in the shop and in the pits. Stop buying RC cars at Walmart and come experience what you didn't know you were missing.
If you are into R/Cs you should give them a visit. Super cool staff, awesome race events. Indoor and outdoor crawler course, mini crawler course, indoor and outdoor turf track. Outdoor asphalt track, outdoor dirt track, and indoor mini-z track. Plus tons of parts and
R/Cs to buy.
The prices can't be beat either for what they provide.
We came in to buy a RC for my 10 year old - the staff was friendly and welcoming, and made the experience for him special. Such a cool place with tons of tracks and great advice.
My son and I drove 1.5 hours to experience the indoor/outdoor rock crawling courses. We were not disappointed and absolutely had an amazing time. We will definitely return for more RC rock crawling adventures!
Not well experienced in the rc world but my son loves it. The staff are always helpful and dont try to upsell you on parts. Great facility everything you need. I had a car that I couldn't fix, what would of taken me 2 days to fix took them a half hour no charge. I tipped though . Experienced or novice i highly recommend
One of the best hobby shops in New England. Chris the owner and the crew are always willing to help out with any questions you may have. Besides the shop, the track layouts are great. Few indoors and plenty outside to choose from.
Fantastic place to purchase R/C components or bring your R/C vehicles to use on their tracks. My son loved watching everything, and all of the people we met were super friendly.
We'll be back soon to test out our monster truck ?️
Great place that brings back the kid in me. I used to use and race RC vehicles back in the late 80s and early 90's, and this places allows my old inner child to experience that again. The have multiple indoor and outdoor tracks, a full size retail section, and the staff are extremely friendly and accommodating. Even if you don't own a RC vehicle, you can rent one there to use. The "crawler" tracks are very detailed and extremely challenging. They also have races that are streamed online during the week on there youtube channel.
Great courses and customer service. Got a new truck, and while waiting for a battery charging cable swap, I needed some things done with my old crawler and they were happy to help
My first time here was definitely not what I expected. Cool people, nice indoor and outdoor RC tracks, and nice selection of parts. Nothing like this in New Britain, New Britain has nothing besides liquor stores, Barber shops, and fast-food spots.
Best RC Compound you can go to.
PRO hobby Shop - And Every Terrain of Track you could want (1/8 off-road dirt / 1/10 off-road Turf / 1/10 off-road Carpet / Rock Crawling / Drag racing / Onroad Carpet / Onroad Asphalt etc etc)
The team there is more Knowledgeable & Willing to help than almost Any shop I’ve been to in my 6 years of Racing RC cars.
There may be a Line on Any given Race Night as they Race ALOTTTT with all of their tracks!! But there’s a Line, because SO many people Love this place. So be patient, it’s worth it !
As someone who prefers RC Crawlers, this place is fantastic. Indoor course for 24 scales, and a much larger course for larger crawlers. (18-10 range). Outside is a massive area for the crawlers, too. I'd recommend 14 scale and larger for the outdoor one.
If crawling isn't your thing, they do have an indoor circute, indoor oval, and several outdoor tracks, including a dirt track.
The staff has always been super helpful and polite. Being that they partake in the hobby themselves, you can trust their judgements and recommendations. They understand budgets are a thing, and don't force or push for you to buy the most expensive components.
From a newer hobbyist, RC Madness has become my go-to for parts, advice, and RC culture.
I have been out of the rc world for many years. I'm happy to see RC Madness still around. Pick up a new rc car and supporting parts. Even when I took home the wrong charger, they were happy to help me exchange and find the charging system as looking for. Employees are polite and not in a rush. There are lots of tracks to try out and meet other hobby people. Recommend RC Madness always.
So here I am, 49 years old with 3 grandsons who are 8, 6 and 5-1/2. The boys just got their first real RC TRUCKS and now they're telling me I need to get one, lol. I grew up back in the 80's and we all had Tamiya cars. I personally had the Midnight Pumpkin. I decided to go get one so I could race with the boys! I look up RC sales near me on Google and find RC MADNESS. I head there after work one night and stumble in and my jaw dropped! I could not believe my eyes! Every RC CAR and TRUCK ever made! Even the ones I grew up with were on the shelves! I ended talking with the guy behind the counter who was roughly my age. He answered every question I had and then some! Even the people racing their cars on the multiple tracks were so awesome to chat with! What a great group of people! Needless to say I bought a crazy fast truck and I'm already looking at getting a drag racer! I will definitely be going back!
Thanks again RC MADNESS! SEE YOU ALL SOON!!
Absolutely loved the selection along with the tracks that you have. Plus, I love that you carry Kyosho Mini-Z. Moving up here from PA, I couldn't even find these at any hobby shop back home. So glad that you carry them.

I was looking for a Sonicwake, no shops had any in stock online so I thought i would give this shop a call. They had one, so I went there immediately. When the GPS dropped me in the parking lot, at first I thought it was wrong. A very large warehouse, a tractor trailer and a few cars was all I saw until I got out and asked someone if the "hobbyshop" was inside. I was directed to an entrance so in I went. I was very impressed! VERY large selection of parts including a large amount of bodies, many new vehicles of all types and also quite a few used vehicles/setups too! Very pleasant employees who were respectful and knowledgeable! But that wasn't everything! They also have 2 indoor tracks, a rock crawler area and plenty of pit room. Outdoors 4 tracks including a beautiful dragstrip and a very impressive off-road dirt track! I lost 2 hours just buying a boat and looking around. If you're into RC, you have to see this place to believe it!
GREAT Local Hobby Shop!!! PILES of parts, kits, cars, trucks, drones & planes !!! Almost anything you could need or want is here!! Outdoor tracks, indoor tracks, national events !!! Chris has been running this place for years, Tyler is smart and helpful as well... get down and check this place out!
Great place, friendly staff. We stopped in on our cross country RC Road trip. There are several different tracks to use, shop with lots of parts, plenty of pit space. Definitely recommend.
