RC Driving

RC Driving is by far the biggest form of RC modelling to date. The range of cars, trucks, motorbikes and other vehicles available is immense, which means that RC Driving is possibly the RC Hobby to suit everyone. Beginner RC Cars start from a few dollars and these battery powered vehicles are great for leading on to bigger and better things. Read on to find out more about the different forms of RC Driving that are popular today.

RC Cars

When it comes to RC Driving, cars are normally the vehicle of choice to begin with. There are literally hundreds of models to choose from, some of which are battery powered, some are nitro, some are gas also look at, RC Aerial Photography powered, some are ready to run straight from the box while others still need some degree of assembly. You can get rally cars, racing cars, classic cars, and virtually everything in between if you know where to look. Basic models start with simple to use 2-channel radio equipment that even complete RC Driving novices can control, so don't worry about crashing you car on its first excursion out.

RC Trucks

After learning the basics of RC Driving you might want to progress to driving RC Trucks. There are two main categories to choose from here:

- RC Monster Trucks
- Haulage lorries, otherwise known as HGV vehicles, wagons and long load vehicles.

These two forms of RC Driving require different skill , RC Boat - General sets, especially when you attempt to reverse a three foot haulage lorry around a corner without hitting your well placed obstacles. Of the two forms of truck, monster trucks are easily the most popular and with good reason. These trucks are perfect for customising, upgrading and racing...all factors that turn a hobby into a passion.

RC Motorbikes

While RC Motorbikes are probably the most diverse type of model in the RC Driving category they are also the most difficult to control. You can get motorbike models that measure 4-5 inches and run on a small battery through to those that measure 2-3 feet in length and use nitro as a fuel source. Regardless of size though all RC Motorbikes are fast and they do require a certain degree of skill look at, RC Nitro Speedboats to keep them upright. Basic models can often be upgraded to perform stunts and for racing purposes, should you find that this form of RC Driving is the one for you.

RC Construction Models

Construction models are a form of RC Driving that has you controlling different aspects of the model in addition to its movement on the ground. This adds to the fun of the model while also introducing you to more sophisticated transmitters. Popular types of construction model include cranes, dumper trucks and forklift trucks, although you can probably find a scale model of most vehicles found on a building have a look at, RC On Road Cars site.

As an example, the controls of a forklift truck will enable you to move the model along the ground, raise and lower the forks, tilt them backwards and forwards and move them left to right. Good quality construction models can be very realistic in their movements, and thankfully most are very robust as well.

RC Military Vehicles

The RC Driving category of military vehicles is more for military enthusiasts than for general RC modellers. The models available are very detailed, specialised in most cases and quite expensive...especially for beginners to the world of RC Driving. Saying that, they are great fun and include vehicles such as army jeeps, armoured cars and of course tanks. look at, RC Fast Electric Cars Tanks look at, RC Fast Electric Cars in particular are great to control and most can be upgraded to fire have a look at, RC German Panther small projectiles from their main gun.

In General

RC Driving is in many ways the perfect way to start off in the world of radio controlled models. Cars in particular can be bought for a few dollars and these very basic models provide an ideal lead into the larger, more advanced forms of RC Driving.
