Remote Controll Hobbies

RC cars, RC boats, RC planes, RC helicopters can come in many
forms. In fact, RC means different things to different people.
It can mean Radio Control, Remote Control, Radio Controlled, or
Remote Controlled. Overall it is essentially the same thing. The
controller is operated via battery power. The vehicle, aircraft,
or boat itself may be electric, or nitro gas powered. The RC
world can range from the inexpensive toy version, to the
expensive and often fragile, true experienced hobbyist version.
There are ready to run (RTR), or ready to fly (RTF) versions as
well as the assembly required versions. Additionally, there are
the Almost Ready to Run or Almost Ready to Fly versions which
require minimal assembly.

Ready to Run (RTR) and Ready to Fly (RTF), RC cars, RC buggies,
RC trucks, RC airplanes, and RC boats are a lot of fun to use
and come ready to enjoy right out of the box. Whether your RC is
electric or is nitro gas powered, the fun can continue for a
long time. When you decide to purchase a radio control car, or
remote control airplane, you should know that it isn't as easy
as it seems. It takes practice to operate your remote control
car or radio control aircraft to build your skills. RC trucks
and RC buggies can be run on dirt or can be used to race just
like RC cars.
