 "Drivers, Start Your Engines!" The driver's fingers quiver as the grip on the radio tightens, the heart pumps even faster. The driver has experienced Parking Lot Racing in his mind many times, whether cornering the turns in the street outside his house, or in the park, but now is the moment to show that practice makes perfect. The driver looks to his left, and sees a fellow driver, knowing that he is having the same thoughts. Knowing that BANG! the race has started and the F-1's explode off the line, jockeying to gain position, and the race is on. 1/10 scale R/C cars are one of the hottest sports in America, with both kids and adults enjoying the exhilaration of racing Formula 1, or sedan cars, or covering the rugged terrain of the backyard with their 4 Wheel Drive Hummer. Whatever your desire, kit or ready to run, on road or off road, gas or electric, there is a remote control vehicle just for you at ToyBoxRC. To get started in radio control cars, the first decision you need to make is whether you want a kit, or ready to run vehicle. Both versions have benefits. The benefit of the kit is that there is much to be learned about your car that you will learn during building, and this knowledge will help when making any necessary adjustments or repairs. Building time of a kit can range from 10 hours to 20 hours. Additionally, there are many more choices among the kits. The benefit of a RTR (ready-to-run) is that you can be on the road in about an hour. Whether you want to race in the streets, or do it in the dirt, remote control cars offer a great selection. Indy cars, Hot Rods, 4 Wheel Drive Cars, Trucks, and Buggies, are all available at remote control hobbies. Almost any type of vehicle you have ever seen can be found in radio control. Remote control cars and trucks come in 2 varieties, gas or electric. Most newcomers to the RC hobby start with an electric vehicle because they are quiet and less expensive, and utilize few pit accessories. The electric vehicles are powered by a rechargeable battery pack that will give performance of speeds between 20-30 miles per hour, and give running time of 5-10 minutes. A good battery charger will recharge a battery pack in 15 minutes, meaning that if you have 2 battery packs, there is minimal down time. To get started in radio control, we offer many special Combo Packs which include all the products you'll need to get started: car, radio, battery pack, and charger. Gas rc cars are powered by internal combustion engines that will give performance of speeds of 35-45 mph. Gas engines tend to require more knowledge, thus are desired more by experienced hobbyists.
