Just down from King's Hobby was RACING MODEL SHOP. It also had ok stuff.
Beside it was a vacant spot which had a hobby shop... but I guess they closed?!
Emer, I noticed the sign which said "URBAN COMPANY" - is this the shop you
mentioned? Looks like they moved?




No idea what the name of this shop was...but if I remember right its
prices were similar to its neighbors... though the owner was very friendly!




For Hong Kong standards MMC was a big Model/Hobby shop with a mix
of R/C, AirSoft, Plastic Models, etc. They were one of if not the the most
expensive shop for R/C stuff. Even though they had a few things that other
shops were out of, I felt they were very overpriced in comparison.




By this time I was sure the other shops on Kwong Wa St. were open. My
first stop was ACTION HOBBIES. In my research before my trip it seemed
they were one of the most competitive shops with prices and amount of items.
I had not seen any Orion packs & so I was hopping they would be available here.
Unfortunately, they were out of stock but talk about amazing timing...a shipment
was arriving that night & I was promised they would be available the next day!



Here is a picture of ACTION HOBBIES store owner Andy Lam.
He speaks English very well & has Awesome prices at his shop! Be sure
to hit them first when you go R/C Shopping in Hong Kong!



Here is a picture of On-Road Racer **** Wong. He works with Andy at the
shop and is also very helpful if you have any questions regarding their stuff!



Across Action hobbies is TQ RACING MODEL. The store owner, Ching,
was also very cool. this is where I got the jackpot for Sir Miles as well as one
of Kenneth's orders. The shop was full and busy so I couldn't get a picture
with Ching. I scored one of my chargers here and it definitely is another must
stop for those R/C shopping for deals!




Just beside TQ Racing Model is HOBBY HOBBY. It had a few things of
interest but I notice the store owner was a bit too occupied on the phone to
answer any questions. He did smile though and was friendly but his shop only
had a few things of interest to me: basically Electronics & Electric Off-Road parts.
