Larrys Performance RCs

Been going for years. Owner is great once you get to know him. I suggest you ask for Dustin Cory or John when needing advice.

I have always went to Larry’s… The staff is knowledgable. But then I met the owner. Larry. Informally. I was getting help by a new staff member on parts I needed, this man, I found out later to be Larry, kept yelling at this employee because he was not answering the phones. He did this multiple times… Hello Larry… He was helping someone who spends $$$ in your store. I then was ready to make my purchase and Larry was the person helping me pay for my order. He did not even look at me, was not friendly, and proceeded to carry on his conversations with someone else, like he was inconvenienced to take my money… Will not go back to Larry’s… His loss. I have bought several cars and many parts there… Hey Larry, quit being such a jerk!

I’ve been coming to Larry’s for years. I vary between 3 – 5 stars in my rating, they loose some on consistency of service, and gain some on the fact there’s nothing else like it on this side of town. The two tracks with are maintained well and routinely updated in their layout are awesome. Beverages in the vending machine, bathrooms kept clean. Good organized racing, nice hours, and a massive selection of all RCs from surface, to air.
Sometimes when busy you’ll have trouble getting someone to say ‘can I help you’ but they’ve gotten better with that. Don’t be afraid to strike up a convo, the works are hobbyists and enthusiasts as well, just speak whats on your brain like I do. Make it a conversation between friends, not a Q&A and you’ll come to love Larry’s. In summer i try to visit a few times a week, and i’ve bought quite a few things. I’ve also put some of my cars on consignment for sale, which is great if you don’t like doing the legwork on craigslist or shipping via online sale.

As far as the RC hobby goes there is no competition to Larry’s in the area. With a facility large enough to encompass a sales floor with tonnage to look at, service, parts and 3 indoor tracks, Larry’s puts the rest to shame.

The jury is still out of this place for me so I’m going to keep it at 3 stars for now. I got bit by the RC bug again after a 10 year hiatus. The technology has changed a lot in the last couple years so I headed to Larry’s for an education. I found it though to get service there. The place is hopping on the weekends and sales people are in no hurry to check on wandering customers. I had no better luck waiting at the counter either so I ended up just checking out the races and leaving without picking up a battery I had intended to buy for my helicopter. On a previous visit I took my 5 year old to watch the races. We spotted a cool slot car track and asked if we could play for a few minutes. I was told I had to purchase my own car @ $ 42 to play. However, later I find a post on Larry’s Facebook page saying that cars were available for rent. So I thought that was a little tacky. In summary, Larry’s has a ton of merchandise, great prices, and great tracks, but so far the customer services is lacking. I’ll definitely be back, and I may even buy my new car there because of the prices but I truly hope the service there gets better.
