Which carriers do you use?
USPS, UPS and FedEx. The options and rates for your address are shown at checkout.
Do you ship outside the United States?
Yes, using the carrier you trust. Shipping costs, import duties and taxes are paid by the customer. Email info@goathobbies.com before ordering and we'll help you arrange it. All international sales are final.
Can you ship LiPo batteries?
LiPo batteries are regulated as hazardous materials and can only ship by ground within the United States. Expedited and air shipping aren't available for orders that include batteries. Some battery orders can't ship to Alaska, Hawaii, U.S. territories or outside the U.S.
Do orders need a signature?
Orders of $200 or more ship with signature required. To waive the signature, check "Ship without signature" in your cart, or email info@goathobbies.com before it ships. If you waive it, Goat Hobbies isn't responsible for the package after the carrier marks it as delivered.

Products
What do RTR, ARTR, BND, PNP and kit mean?
RTR (ready to run): built and ready, usually with radio; check the listing to see if battery and charger are included. ARTR (almost ready to run): you add a few parts, usually the radio or battery. BND (bind-n-drive / bind-n-fly): no transmitter; you bind your own. PNP (plug-n-play): no radio system. Kit: you build it yourself, and electronics are usually sold separately.
What else do I need to run my RC?
Many models need a battery, a charger or AA batteries for the transmitter. The product description lists what's included. If you're not sure, ask us before you buy and we'll tell you exactly what you need.
How do I find parts for my model?
Use our Parts Finder: pick your brand and model. You can also search by part number (for example ARA2315) in the search bar, or bring the vehicle to the store and we'll find the part for you.
Can you get a part you don't have listed?
Ask us. Send the part number and model to info@goathobbies.com or call the store, and we'll check whether we can order it.
Can I cancel a special order?
Yes, but canceled special orders have a 30% cancellation fee.
How do pre-orders work?
Pre-order items haven't been released yet. Release dates come from the manufacturer and can change. We'll let you know when your item arrives. Questions about a specific pre-order? Message us.
Returns & warranty
Can I return an item?
Yes, within 30 days, for a full refund of the item price, as long as it's unused, in its original condition, with all original packaging and contents. Returns received in a different condition are rejected. Batteries, Ghost RC products and international orders can't be returned. Original shipping fees aren't refundable and return shipping is paid by the customer. Email info@goathobbies.com with your order number, or bring it to either store. Refund policy
My package arrived damaged. What do I do?
Take photos or video of the box and the items, then email info@goathobbies.com right away with the photos and a short description.
Who handles warranty claims?
Warranties are handled directly by the product's manufacturer. We're happy to point you to the right contact. Ghost RC products and tires carry no warranty, and airplanes that have been flown carry no warranty from Goat Hobbies.
Service & repair
Do you repair RC vehicles?
Yes. We repair hobby-grade electric RC cars, trucks, boats and airplanes. We don't work on gas or nitro models, toy-grade RC, Power Wheels, helicopters or drones. Service & repair
Do I need an appointment?
No. Drop your RC off at either store during business hours, with its battery, transmitter and any parts that came off. Repairs aren't done on the spot.
How much does a repair cost?
Diagnosis: $25, credited toward the labor if you approve the repair. Labor: $50 per hour. Parts are paid before we install them. We send you an estimate and don't start until you approve it.
How long do I have to pick up my repair?
You have 30 days after we tell you it's ready. After that, storage is $1 per day, and items not picked up within 90 days are considered abandoned.
