      We discovered the shop a few months ago by chance as we were just going to watch some planes. (Somehow my son walked away with an FTX Tracer too. lol!) The shop is awesome and the cafe is great too. Seeing them going all out opening a track is great too! I wish the owners all the best and will definitely be back to by toys i don't need very soon.

    Great track been today for the first time with the children. we had a fantastic time we were there. The best part of the day we had food and drinks. The staff was fantastic, especially with the new kids that have never raced their cars on a track before. The veterans, lol, were all so fantastic they helped us out and gave brilliant advice. I would recommend anyone to come along and have some fun .
    As soon as we finished we needed to get some parts for our cars so we went to Rochester RC shop and got what we needed.
    Fantastic day, great staff kids loved it, and it was the best day .
    Thanks Rochester Rc

    Will is definitely one of the good guys. To see where they were last year in the old place, which was tiny, to the new bright shop is amazing. Im lucky to be able to pop in while im at work, and use them as much as i can. His team are great, really knowledgeable, and enthusiastic. Some shops need to take note on how to do things the right way. 👍🏻

Everyone in RC should put the work in to support this venture, I certainly will be at some point this year. Better also say well done Gav for the video

    This is great to see, with the sad news of tracks being forced to close. Having it linked to a shop is great as at events you have spares on hand. MB models run like this and events there run great. Need tyres, order online and pick up right there. And who dont like cake. Good luck Rochester RC. Hopefully i can visit soon.

    Exactly what the rc hobby needs a friendly track that open for people to use with almost any car , lots want to run on a track without the pressure of racing or being put off by elitism and clickiness of clubs untill they find their feet .
