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 and are branching into 1/10 scale as well. You're welcome to bring your own Mini-Z to navigate our track. 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 Kyosho, Tamiya, Team Associated, MST, Injora, PN Racing, Furitek, Atomic, GL Racing, Injora, Protek, and many many others. Our vast range of parts and products ensures that you have access to the best the RC world offers, allowing for a fully customized and unique RC experience.

The short answer is they can be. Hobby grade vehicles differ from less expensive toy grade in their engineering, allowing you to replace every single part on your vehicle if they break. While the cost can vary depending on what you're looking for, the starting price is generally higher than you may find at toy stores, or Walmart, or Target. With that said, our beginner small-scale RC vehicles start as low as $50 providing an affordable entry point into the hobby and go up from there.

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 for $10 for 30 minutes allowing yuo to get a feel for the hobby without needing to own a vehicle on day one.

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 RC cars, parts, and diecast vehicles. Towards the back, you'll find one of the largest Mini-Z tracks in Washington state with one of the most expansive Mini-Z parts walls around. Our large pit area in the back of the store offers space for you to work on your vehicles between races and plenty of power to charge your batteries as needed.

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, we charge $10 a day for track and pit usage, which helps us maintain the quality of our tracks and services. For those wishing to rent, our rental fees for our Mini-Z drift cars is $10 for 30 minutes, and includes the track usage in the fee.

We have a Mini-Z track in the back half of our store which spans 32'x20' made of RCP Tracks. We change layouts every two weeks just to keep everyone on their toes.

In the front half of the store, we have a newly constructed small scale crawler course designed to test the limits of your 1/24 or 1/18th scale vehicles.

Absolutely! We host races twice a week, on Friday and Saturday. Our race nights start at 5pm and run til 8pm weekly.

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 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.
