There is nothing like this in the Southeast. We are dedicating thousands of square feet to four colossal racing tracks for the public to enjoy whether they own a model racing car or not,” said owner/operator Ivan Maresca.
The Ho-b RC Park features three racing tracks (off-road, on-road, beginner) as well as a full hobby shop with model car accessories and expert repair service.

Model car racing classes led by national champion Justin Sweet will also be part of the Park’s activities for both novices and experts to hone their racing skills. Class schedules will be regularly updated online.
Italian-born owner Ivan Maresca opened his model car operation Ho-b Max at Northgate as a kiosk April 2011 then as an in-line store in March 2012 and is a seller of battery-operated, electronic hobby crafts including airplanes, cars, boats, helicopters, rockets, tanks, trains and more for ages 8-80.

Maresca’s concept for Ho-b RC Park is to bring enthusiasts and newcomers from across the Southeast together for fun, competition—a racing experience they can’t get anywhere else.
AWESOME place. I am there quite often and enjoy the friendlt atmosphere. The guy's are nice smart and know what they are talking about. If the part isn't on the shelf, they can order it in. They are my new and full time supplyers for my RC needs.I have found that they're prices are very comperable to internet prices , just no shipping costs. Great place to go ,,,,,,,
ReplyDeleteSells cheap plastic toys for inflated prices. Then sells you a better part which shows they have a mechanical flaw. No reasonable warranty period. Uses ridiculous analogy of being the same as if you bought a Ferrari. If I have a steering linkage break on a new Ferrari the would certainly fix it for free.
