Great store with plenty of options and very reasonable prices. I like to walk here and buy what I need because its nicer than ordering online and waiting a few days to get what Im after. Stock is always high quality and staff are very knowledgable on all items they sell.

As a returning customer from 20+yrs ago when I was a keen R/C fanatic, I've been so happy to return to Formby Models after so long and see this fantastic local, small business still doing so well! Ive had a steep learning curve, returning to the hobby with some expensive mishaps and mistakes! I ordered a JDM Tamiya model, which was to be developed as an RC Drag car. The team here are outstanding! Always keen to give you honest expert advice, so helpful and friendly! Phil took the time to help recommend the best combination of speed controller, LiPo batteries and motor to give this car acceleration timed at Santa Pod of 0-60 in under 2seconds and attracted a crowd of spectators.. Thank you so much! I'll try not to break it again now ;)
