Charlie's Hobbies Inc. started as Charlie's Discount Hobbies in the 1980's. This RC hobby shop is now owned by Ike Lopez, who is committed to providing the Tampa Bay area with a good and reliable hobby store.I have been using this store for many years and always find the service is excellent. If the product or part required is not in stock, then Ike is happy to order it and it is usually is available in a few days.

On a number of occasions I have phoned the store and ordered a part. In 2 or 3 days it was in stock and I was able to pick it up. This I consider to be first class customer service!
