About Us

Central Hobbies has been  in the same location since 1973, selling the best products the model industry offers. R/C Models have been and always will be our specialty, and thanks to our huge satisfied customer base, we have become well known throughout the world. Reasons for this include the following:

We are the #1 supplier for YS Engines and YS Engine parts! Central Hobbies carries the most complete selection of YS Engines and parts anywhere in the world.

Talk to real people! We don't use digital voice answering machines to aggravate our customers when they call our toll free lines. Regardless of how many people we have to hire to answer the phone, there will never be one of those annoying machines asking you to push buttons on your phone. 

We've always discounted our prices as  much as possible, even getting into trouble with some of our suppliers over it. However it's what our customers want, so we keep doing it.

You'll find hundreds of pages of product descriptions, color photos, specification tables, and information that is not available anywhere else. Our customers have helped us to become world famous and we intend to maintain that position by not letting them down.

Although we only have a small portion of our huge inventory on our website, we welcome our customers to call us on our toll free lines to access our full inventory.

And finally, we not only use what we sell, but we also know what we sell. Our friendly and knowledgeable staff are always ready to help you with your modeling necessities.
