Silverdale Hobbies is an immersive hobby experience specializing in diecast collectibles and small-scale RC vehicles, complete with hands-on RC off-road and on-road courses specifically designed for small scale RC vehicles.

A "small scale RC" vehicle is a miniaturized, remote-controlled model of a full-size car, truck, or other vehicles. The term "scale" refers to the size of the model in relation to the size of the real vehicle it represents. In the RC world, a small scale vehicle refers specifically to a vehicle smaller than traditional 1/10 sizes. In our case, 1/24 and 1/28 scale vehicles. About the size of your hand.

At Silverdale Hobbies, we have a diverse range of small scale RC vehicles for sale. You're welcome to bring your own RC cars to navigate our tracks. Additionally, we offer rental options for those who'd like to try their hands at controlling these fun, dynamic models before purchasing their own.

We carry an extensive selection of high-quality brands including Furitek, Atomic, Kyosho, GL Racing, Team Associated, MofoRC, Injora, and Protek. Our range ensures that you have access to the best products in the RC vehicle world, allowing for a fully customized and unique RC experience.

The cost can vary depending on what you're looking for. Our beginner small-scale RC vehicles start as low as $60, providing an affordable entry point into the hobby. For enthusiasts seeking more advanced models, we offer vehicles that can exceed $500. To help you make an informed decision, we also offer rental vehicles in-store for you to test and experience firsthand.

Yes, we do! We want everyone to enjoy the fun of small-scale RC driving, so we offer a selection of RC vehicles for rent. This way, you can get a feel for the hobby without needing to own a vehicle. It's also a great opportunity to test out different models before making a purchase.

We offer a wide variety of brands, including (but not limited to) Hot Wheels, Matchbox, M2 Machines, Kaido House, Mini-GT, Maisto, Tarmac Works, Inno64, Auto-World, Greenlight, Johnny Lightning, and many more. Our inventory is based on what we are able to get our hands on for you, so we're constantly rotating through on hand stock and always looking to add more to the collection!

Yes, we do purchase collections from our clients. However, we are selective to ensure we provide our customers with the best products. If you have a collection you'd like to sell, we encourage you to reach out to us so we can discuss the arrangements.

When you visit Silverdale Hobbies, you'll find our store split into two distinct sections. In the front, the retail area offers a wide variety of diecast vehicles, collectibles from brands like Funko, and other vinyl brands. Towards the back, the RC section features parts and kits for small-scale RC vehicles, leading to our tracks and pit area for a hands-on, immersive RC racing experience.

Absolutely, we have a designated space in our store to work on your vehicles, whether it's for simple repairs, upgrades, or just fine-tuning and is included in your daily track fee.

Yes, there's a small fee associated with using our tracks. However, we've tried to keep it affordable and fair. The cost is $10 for the first hour and $10 for the second. After that, it's only $5 for every additional hour. This helps us maintain the quality of our tracks and services, ensuring you have the best experience each time you visit.

Absolutely! We have two in-store RC tracks which are unique in their design and offer a variety of experiences.

The On-Road Course: Measuring 32x12, this multifunctional track offers a versatile racing experience. You can drift, race or even run your micro scale monster trucks. We occasionally reconfigure it into an oval raceway or a UDR track for micro scale UDR trucks, bringing a whole new dimension to the fun.

The Crawling Lane: This 25x6 custom diorama track is for those who love a good challenge. It replicates realistic terrains to offer a one-of-a-kind crawling experience, making it perfect for testing the capabilities of your RC vehicles.

Absolutely, we do! We're in the process of shaping our event structure. Once we open, we'll soon be hosting our first competition. This event will monitor times and scores, leading to a championship at the end of our inaugural month. Subsequently, we're planning to hold regular competitions that encourage both friendship and spirited rivalry among participants. Keep an eye out for further details!

Absolutely! We follow most of the same policies as the Kitsap Mall, but we also have some additional safety measures, particularly around battery charging. To avoid any risk of fire, we enforce strict battery rules. All batteries must be charged in store-approved containers and should never be left unattended. We recommend that our visitors bring pre-charged batteries and recharge them at home for their next visit. However, if you need to charge your batteries at the store, we can provide a 'bat-safe' for safe charging in the pit area to ensure containment in the event of something going wrong.

We're always evolving our inventory, especially in the early stages, as we strive to meet the diverse needs and interests of our customer base. We frequently cycle products in and out based on demand. And we're always open to suggestions! If there's a specific product or brand you'd like us to carry, feel free to let us know. We even offer the option for customers to put their requests to a community vote. So you can directly influence what we stock!

Absolutely! Our knowledgeable staff are here to guide you. Whether you're a beginner looking to start your RC journey, an enthusiast seeking the perfect diecast collectible, or an experienced hobbyist aiming to up their game, we'll provide personalized recommendations based on your interests and skill level. We pride ourselves on our friendly, collaborative approach to finding the perfect hobby fit for every customer.
