RC Service & Repair Price List

At RCcarStars.com we primarily work on major name brand "Hobby Grade" RC cars and trucks.  Our specialty is 10, 8 and 5 scale size RCs. Please contact us and we will help you determine if your RC is a "BRAND" we can provide services for: ( List of Brands we work on: Agama, Arrma, Axial, Caster, ECX, Element, Exceed RC, HoBao, Hot Bodies, HPI, Kyosho, Losi, Mayako, Mugen Seiki, OFNA, Red Cat, Serpent, Schumacher, Sparko, S-Workz, Tamiya, Team Associated, Tekno, TLR, Traxxas, XRAY, Yokomo ).  Our standard hourly labor rate is $30 per/hour or the pricing listed on website by type of service will apply. We also offer bundled pricing based upon a written quote for large or special projects and services you may require.

( Please Note: ) It's very common for us to find that your RC has been modified with other manufacturer's parts.  If this is the case, we do our best to either find the correct "stock" parts, or we try and identify the current parts and repair with only compatible parts.  It should also be noted, that many of the small 1/12 scale and smaller RCs sometimes are not supported by the manufactures with replacement parts, so we do our best to let you know ahead of time if the work needed can be done at all.
