Who has not fantasized about climbing behind the wheel of an exotic high-performance racing machine, or the latest street-legal supercar? Few of us can afford to make such fantasies become reality, but your automotive dreams can easily become real with radio control, or RC. RC cars are much more than models; they are fully-functional automobiles that can go as fast as 100KPH and are equipped with working suspension systems that borrow technology directly from the “real deal”. There are electric- and engine-powered kits to suit different tastes and budgets, and just about every type of wheeled machine can be replicated in RC. From monster trucks to dragsters, street sedans to off road stadium racers, you can experience them all with the radio control car hobby.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TOY RC CARS AND HOBBY RC CARS

The RC cars and trucks that you see on TV and in toy stores offer a great way for young people to get involved in a rewarding hobby; however, there are few similarities between these toy-grade vehicles and those you find at a hobby shop. For example, most hobby-grade R/C vehicles are available as an unassembled kit. You build the vehicle from the ground up, piece by piece, so you know exactly how it works and how to fix it if something breaks. With few exceptions, you will be able to make repairs yourself without having to send it back to the manufacturer because you know the vehicle inside and out.
Also, hobby-grade R/C vehicles are generally made of better materials than toygrade vehicles, so they can withstand the severe punishment of a backyard obstacle course or a high-speed cartwheel at the local parking lot. Hobby kits are designed to provide long life and superior performance.

READY-TO-RUN MODELS

Are you interested in RC, but the prospect of building the kit yourself has you concerned? Fear not! Many of the popular RC car manufacturers offer assembled versions of their nitro- and electric-powered kits that are completely ready to run (RTR), which substantially cuts down on the time it takes to go from box to track. You get the convenience of a "toy" RC car, with the quality and performance of a hobby-quality kit. With an RTR, you can be ready for wild RC action in an hour or less. If you buy an RTR, be sure to save the instruction manual, because it will be invaluable

WHERE TO RACE

Most hobbyists run their vehicles in informal settings. Backyards, vacant lots and unused, paved areas are where you will probably find people driving and enjoying R/C vehicles. If you have a competitive nature, however, there are hundreds of R/C racing clubs and tracks throughout the Australia and the rest of the world.

These clubs and the track owners hold organized racing events, usually every week, in which vehicles of similar types compete for points, trophies, or just bragging rights. The races usually follow a format similar to that of full-size automobile competition: the cars are qualified for positions in the main events after running one or more "heats."

There are several ways to find out about the R/C racing action in your area. Hobby shops are often the nucleus of racing activity; some may even have their own track on the premises.
