**IMPORTANT NOTICE - READ THE ENTIRE MESSAGE!!**
GREAT NEWS!! We're going to be open for Email/Phone/Facebook orders! Our days/hours will be: Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday - 11am-5pm.
So, you're thinking, "How can I place my order?" Well, you can call the store during days & hours above at 973-872-0400. You can also send us a message on Facebook. Additionally, you can send us an email to mail@zephobby.com.
Hopefully this will spread your AWESOME demand over the hours, as opposed to all at once. This sometimes means we'll put extra time from home, but your business means so much to us, and we're gonna give you the best support we can.
You're probably now wondering "what are the rules when coming to pick up my order." Well, let us answer that for you. First rule - wait for us to tell you that your order is ready. If you call, we'll try and pull the parts while you're on the phone. That might not be possible, so we might have to call you back when the order is ready. If you left it via email or Facebook, we'll message you when ready. Once you've received that ready status, you can head to the store (or let us know when you're planning on coming down). We might try and schedule for a specific time, to make sure the pick ups are spread out. When you get to the store, call us to let us know you're in the parking lot. When you call -- we'll need the name that your order is placed under. STAY IN YOUR CAR & PUT ON A MASK! We will head out and confirm the total of your order. We'll collect payment and bring your order out.
If you're looking for vehicle service or upgrades, make sure you contact us first. The turnaround on these will be 2 business days. We'll arrange a SAFE way for you to drop off your vehicle. That will be on a case by case basis, depending on the service required. We need to sanitize the car, so try and bring us a CLEAN vehicle. If you have a caked up mud covered vehicle, there will be a $20 cleaning fee. Labor charges will be disclosed to you during the arrangement of service.
Alright, we hope this helps you to get all your needs taken care of. We love y'all and can't wait to take care of your hobby needs.

It looks like we're going to try a schedule of Wednesday and Saturday for internet orders and curbside pickups. We're going to try our best to stick to it. If you need something, please message us on Facebook. We're trying to centralize around Facebook due the time being. Try to have part numbers, and leave us your phone number so we can contact you.
Thank you all for your support.
Like us on Facebook to insure you get all the latest updates!
Because we're going to be at the store tomorrow April 18th, we're going to do a very limited curbside pickup. If you need anything - message us on Facebook. Make sure you include your phone number so we can arrange a time for pick-up. Hoping for a 12-4 window.
We are closed temporarily due to the Governor's order. You can message us on our social media accounts. We want to keep in contact with you throughout this. Questions about all hobby products are welcomed, as well as well wishes, words of happiness, etc. Keep checking in for updates on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
We wish all of you a safe and healthy time throughout this quarantine.
We are still open. I may or may not have forgotten to turn off the answering machine. If you don't want to enter the shop, call ahead and tell us what you want to get and we'll prepare it. We will gladly bring your purchase out to your car!
We don't take Credit Card info over the phone.

what our customers are saying
Kenneth Wasiewicz Jr
Great selection of R/C Cars and parts. And their prices are better than what you’d find online which is even more of a reason to come here. The staff members are super friendly and knowledgeable. There’s a reason this place has been in business so many years and it shows. Best Hobby Shop in NJ period.
George Trapp
Happen to love this place, even though it’s far flung from my whereabouts. I make a special plan, when I really need stuff. Their selection of paint is unparalleled. More local places to me fall short just enough, that it makes me visit them more infrequently.
Jordan Libonati
Came all the way from Bloomfield, and It was worth the trip. Great Prices, Good Customer Service, and a Superb Atmosphere! I know I will be a return shopper!
Francine Ragucci
My grandson had his birthday party there and the boys had a great time! They took turns playing then helped picking cars up that fell off the track. I definitely recommend this place it was a lot of fun and something different to do.
Len Geisler
Matt, Dave and Tony are tops! Always willing to help! Great selection for all hobbies.
Roy Fabian
They have lots of Traxxas parts and RC’s in stock. Knowledgeable staff that are very helpful. Always a fun time
Flyge Francis Mark
Great hobby store with excellent selection of 1/24 scale slot cars and parts and lots more! Just picked up a pair of tires, fairly priced for one of my cars. The staff is helpful and most important knowledgeable. I had a blast test racing a few of my cars and controls on both of their tracks. Excellent good time. I live in Virginia Beach. Up here visiting family. I’ll be doing that more often now and visiting Zeppelin Hobbies too.
Luis Figueroa
