Friendly Hobbies delivers a professionally-run, adrenaline-packed RC racing experience built for companies, teams, and clients. Unique, inclusive, and memorable — without the forced icebreakers or the $140-a-head steakhouse.
We're a purpose-built RC racing facility with three indoor tracks, a full fleet of ready-to-drive vehicles, and a staff that runs hundreds of events a year. You get a professionally-produced experience — and your team gets the story they'll still be telling at next year's off-site.
No one gets sidelined. Our vehicles are designed so that a first-timer can be racing competitively within five minutes — the executive and the intern compete on even footing.
Full buyout of the Rancho facility means your team has the entire venue — all three tracks, the showroom, and the event space — to yourselves.
Every booking includes a dedicated coordinator who handles the agenda, the race format, timing, heats, and announcements — you focus on your people.
All three tracks are indoors. Summer heat, winter cold, holiday-party season — it runs exactly the same. Your event never gets rained out.
No physical requirements. No prior experience needed. Works across generations, fitness levels, and communication styles — including teams with dietary or accessibility considerations.
Qualifying heats, timed laps, a live leaderboard, a podium, and trophies. It feels like a real race because it is one — and that's what makes it memorable.
Every event is tailored — here's how we typically run each type.
Skip the trust falls. A friendly RC tournament structure naturally forces teams to communicate, coach each other, and celebrate wins — without anyone knowing they're doing a "team-building exercise."
Invite a client to yet another dinner, or invite them somewhere they've never been — and watch the deal conversation happen naturally at the podium. RC racing creates common ground fast, regardless of industry, background, or level of small-talk tolerance.
December books fast. Lock in a holiday event that doesn't rely on awkward dancing or a hotel ballroom. We'll run a company-wide tournament with live standings projected on screen, deliver a podium moment for the winners, and hand your CEO the mic for the year-end wrap-up.
Conference rooms are where energy goes to die. Bolt a 2-hour RC tournament onto the end of day one — or use it as the kickoff energizer on morning one — and watch the rest of your meeting feel completely different.
Rotate groups between all three, or pick a single format for a focused tournament. Everything is under one roof at our Rancho flagship.
Cosmic Raceway — high-speed, wheel-to-wheel racing on a purpose-built indoor carpet circuit. The flagship tournament format.
CrawlVenture — our scale rock-crawler course. Technical, precise, and a crowd-surprise for teams who thought they'd just be driving fast.
Pint-sized rigs on a compact technical course — perfect for overflow groups, beginners, or parallel heats during a larger event.
A taste of what a Friendly Hobbies event actually feels like — press play on any reel.

Yes — our event format is built for mixed-experience groups. First-timers are racing competitively within minutes, and the vehicles are performance-matched so the executive team doesn't have an unfair advantage over the intern class (we've seen plenty of upsets).

Our Rancho flagship is single-story with accessible parking and entry. RC racing itself has no physical requirements — it's one of the most inclusive group activities available.
Common lead times: 4 – 8 weeks for standard weeknight events, 8 – 12 weeks for holiday party season (mid-November through mid-December), and 2 – 4 weeks for weekday lunch-hour slots.
All events are hosted at our Rancho flagship: 3616 N. Rancho Dr, Las Vegas, NV. It's a 20-minute drive from the Las Vegas Strip and integrates easily into a Vegas conference or off-site trip. Our Henderson location is retail-only and does not host events.
