What a ride… 🎉
Holmes Hobbies is celebrating 20 YEARS in the RC world — and it all started as a way to fund my RC addiction.

From selling parts out of my house, to building torque-monster crawler motors, to designing ESCs and electronics we’re truly proud of — this has been an incredible journey.

We slowly grew…
➡️ Home-based shop
➡️ First real storefront
➡️ Expanding warehouse and work space
➡️ And now — a full team building products for hobbyists like YOU ❤️

None of this would exist without our friends, viewers, and loyal RC family.
Thank you for supporting us, trusting our gear, and wheelin’ with us for two decades.

Here’s to the next chapter — more motors, better ESCs, smarter electronics, and tons of new ideas coming soon! 🙌

Drop a comment and tell us:
👉 How long have YOU been part of the RC hobby?
