Many beginners start their first rc hobby with remote control
cars or rc trucks. It is a good place to start because many
people will find it easier to control a remote control vehicle that
is on the ground then in the sky. R/C cars are much simpler
then there flying counterparts such as the vast amount of remote
control airplanes out there today. The most popular type of rc
cars is the off-road buggy. These cars come in 1/10 scale and
are either 2-wheel drive or 4-wheel drive that can reach speeds
between 15-30 mph. These vehicles usually have lower ground
clearances, slick tires, and aerodynamic bodies. These cars
are either electric powered or gas powered. Electric
cars use a rechargeable NiCd battery pack for power, and gas cars
are powered by a small engine that uses a special glow fuel.
An rc hobby such as remote control cars or planes may come in
different models. You need to decide on whether to purchase a
kit or a RTR (Ready To Run) model. The versions that come in
kit form need to be preassembled by the user. There are many
advantages to purchasing this format. A kit may be less
expensive to buy then one that is ready to go. Secondly a kit
may offer you a better understanding of how your model works, which
in the end may cost you less in repairs. And thirdly it can be
much more fun and enjoyable trying to piece together you new car or
truck.
This rc hobby also offers a RTF (Ready To Run) model. It is
great for first time users, and those who just want to get that car
on the road, or that plane in the air. Most of them are ready
to run right out of the box, but others may require you to install
the receiver in the body of the vehicle. You can find a wide
variety of RTR electric and gas powered remote control cars and
trucks on the market no matter what type of vehicle you are after.
These version tend to be a little bit more expensive then their kit
counterparts.
