When choosing which radio controlled car is right for you , it firstly depends on If you are a newcomer to the hobby / sport or you are a seasoned professional, If you are reading this section , then we can assume that you do not yet own a radio controlled car and need some information on which is the best buy for you. If this is the case then we would recommend that newcomers to the hobby start out with electric powered cars, sometimes know as battery powered cars. The ideal car would be a 1/10th scale off road vehicle, which are generally durable and can be driven almost anywhere. Look for products by manufacturers such as Tamiya, Associated, and Kyosho as they not only sell the cars, but also sell spare parts. Hop up or upgrade parts are also available to improve your car’s speed and handling. As a newcomer, begin with an electric, off road car. A good brand is Tamiya, because of their excellent instruction manuals, realism, and good manufacturing quality. There is of course a plethora of different manufactures and type of vehicle , for example Tamiya produce Off road Buggies , Monster trucks , Touring Cars , Formula 1 cars , Rally Cross , just to name a few.

The next stage would be to find a good hobby shop that can help you , not only by selling the kits and parts , but by being to help you by passing on their vast knowledge of the sport and the vehicles and by recommending the eventual upgrades and hopups you will want as you progress in the sport.
