Breaking Into The Rc Car World

Short Buyers Guide 

 If your just now breaking into the rc car world then there's probably a lot of questions your looking 

to get answered and things you should know before you buy. Rc cars can bring lots of fun for all ages 

and that's what I would say attracts tons of people to the hobbie. If your on a strict budget and are not 

looking to spend a whole lot that's just fine with today's market you can get ready to run products as low as $150.00.

 What To look For Simple But Sweet 

 I'm gonna break down into bullet form some parts I feel are important to know when first buying. That doesn't limit your research just helps to narrow it down.

• Scales
• Maintenance 
• Running Time
• Nitro/Electric 
• On or Off Road

Scales

Take a look at the different size rc cars there's such a wide variety. From 1/32 all the way to 1/8 scale from cars as little as a dvd case to cars with weed eater engine that can pull a small child around. Its important to know what size you want that will depend on your price range as well considering the bigger you go the more expensive it gets.

Maintenance 

Down to pretty much all nitro rc cars have to be broken in as far as the engine. Regular engine and air filter maintenance is required as well just like a real car. With the higher speeds of 60+ your gonna crash and break some parts so be prepared to fix and maintain your car regularly to keep it in good running condition.
Now electric cars still require maintenance maybe not as much there more just plug charge and play. But that doesn't leave out the fact that your gonna need to keep batteries charged and keep clear of dirt and grass etc. Overall its all about keeping your car clean and when you break something fix it to keep your car running running.

Running Time

Running time should be something you look at as well how long are you able to play with your new toy before charging it or having to refill the gas tank. If your running an electric car batteries can last between

10min and 25min. They can take up to 8 hours to fully charge so I would recommend keeping extras charged up and ready to rock. With nitro cars it all depends on the tank size and how much fuel you have. 

Tanks can last anywhere from 15min to 45min. You have to factor in how hard you run your car or truck as well. 

With the other two bullets i'm not gonna go into much detail just look into what you really want on road or off road its pretty self explanatory from there on out. Whether you choose a car or truck I would say your going to have a blast breaking into the rc car world.
