RC Superstore is a family-owned and operated hobby store and mail-order company established in 2002. The company offers a diverse range of quality radio-controlled products at affordable prices.

Extensive collection of remote control devices

Their extensive collection includes RC cars, trucks, boats, airplanes, helicopters, slot car sets, and various hobby products sourced from top-grade manufacturers in each category. Located in the historic city of Faribault, Minnesota, RC Superstore takes pride in providing customers with the industry's highest quality products at prices suitable for all.

Clean and easy to shop

The website for RC Superstore lives up to the name. There is a huge shopping selection on this site. All of the options for RC toys are easily labeled on the top bar, and everything is easy to shop for, find, and add to cart. The design of the site makes the text easy to read, and the modern red and white color scheme makes it really smooth to find and click through the different areas of the site. On top of the visual design, there are a variety of helpful filters allowing you to separate out the products by brand, color, and whether or not items are in stock. The listings themselves also offer star ratings as well as the number of customers who have reviewed the individual items at a glance.

Price comparison

When we do our price comparison, we usually start with the price range for drones and then check out the price range for vehicles. However, as RC Superstore doesn't carry any drones at all, we decided to break up the remote control vehicles into two categories. So, for this comparison we looked at the prices for RC cars and trucks, the prices for RC planes, and finally the least and most expensive items available from RC Superstore.

Prices start higher than competition

For the remote control cars and trucks, there appear to be tons of products. Yet when you look through the 48 product pages only three of them contain actual completed RC cars. The prices for the cars and trucks range from $229.95-$1,419.90. So, the starting point for RC Superstore is a little higher than competitors. For the RC planes, there were 12 total planes in stock at the time of our visit. Like the cars and trucks, most of the other merchandise is made up of parts. The prices for planes range from $129.95-$649.95. The cheapest RC item happens to be the $129.95 item which is a quad-copter. The most expensive sits at $1,419.90 for an RC truck.

Parts available as well as toys

Not only does RC Superstore excel in providing a range of complete remote control toys, but it also proves to be an invaluable resource for anyone in need of parts and accessories. From the tiniest "fiddly bits" like screws to crucial components like helicopter rotors and beyond, the store's inventory is likely to carry just what you require. Much of their inventory is made up of parts and upgrades, so if you're into building your own RC, this is a great place to shop.

Free shipping on all RC toys

In terms of shipping, RC Superstore goes the extra mile to ensure customer satisfaction, offering highly reasonable shipping fees (at least, for those you have to pay for). On top of that, when your order exceeds $99, the shipping becomes completely free. Since any of the completed RC items are over that threshold, you'll only ever have to worry about paying for shipping with parts.

30-day return window

For returns, the store allows a 30-day window from the shipping date, but items must be in unopened and unused condition to be eligible for a refund. Although restocking fees are non-existent, customers are responsible for covering the return shipping costs. This is the standard across the industry, so there's not much surprise here that RC Superstore also asks for unopened packages.

"B+” on reputation

While RC Superstore isn't the top tier for reputation in this review, it still has a good reputation overall. The company has earned a "B+" rating from the Better Business Bureau which is still a fairly good score overall. Unfortunately, we couldn't find any reviews for RC Superstore from verified third-party review sites. For this reason, there's no way to know how customers generally feel about the practices at RC Superstore. The retailer remains a good option for high-end toys, but it might be a bit safer to shop somewhere with a better reputation.

Top option for parts

While we loved the experience of browsing the RC Superstore website, there were a couple of problems with RC Superstore. First, their prices may start slightly higher than competitors, and their inventory is a little limited. RC Superstore compensates by providing an extensive inventory of parts and accessories for those interested in building their own RC toys, though. On the positive side, they offer free shipping on all items over $99 (which includes all completed RC toys), though the lack of customer reviews on third-party sites might raise some concerns. Despite this, RC Superstore remains a viable option for enthusiasts seeking high-quality RC toys, especially for those looking to build custom creations.
