Get found by nearby drivers
RCMap gives hobbyists a local map first. Your shop appears where drivers already look for places to drive, meet, and stock up.
For Hobby Shops
Put your hobby shop on RCMap
RCMap is where drivers look for places to crawl, race, bash, and buy parts. Add your store so nearby drivers can find it at the moment they are planning the next run.

Why List
Be visible when local drivers are deciding where to go.
A shop listing puts your storefront in the same planning surface as local crawling spots, tracks, scale courses, clubs, and competitions. Drivers can see where you are, what kind of RC destination you run, and how to get there.
Show what kind of shop you run
Choose the shop category that fits: shop only, shop with a track, shop with a scale course, or a shop with both.
Give events a local home
Once the listing is live, the place page can show race nights, meetups, swap meets, and other events tied to your location.
Event Marketing
Promote the nights that bring drivers through the door.
Use your shop page as a steady reference point for recurring race nights, crawler meetups, demos, build sessions, and swap meets. If an event already has a registration page or Facebook event, add that link when you post it.
How It Works
Add the listing through the existing Submit flow.
RCMap uses the same moderation path for shops as it does for other community-submitted places. Once the listing exists, eligible shop owners can claim and manage the business profile.
