Discovering Radio Controlled Cars is something of a wonder. These tiny machines can enable you to fulfil your dreams, drive like a Formula 1 champion, or get as technical as some of the best drivers in the real world.

But this is not a fantasy! Don't be fooled, because the time and effort that goes into making one of these machines is something that can only be appreciated after that effort has been exerted. Once you are on the track, or in a car park, or driving lakeside on some really challenging terrain - that's when the pleasure comes.

When you are starting out, it can all seem a bit daunting. But there is no need to panic! Start small and work your way up. Learn from what has already been produced - in the first instance, it will most likely be a car bought off the shelf, and use that knowledge you get from your first purchase to help you build the car that you want - the little design that's in your head.

If you are a total beginner, then a few bucks is all you need to get to grips with the basics of the handling and mechanics. After that, well it's up to you where you take it. You could build the fastest radio controlled car, the most technical car, or maybe the best looking radio controlled car. Whatever your goal, there are plenty of places you can go to read up on your chosen path, so you can build the best vehicle you possibly can.

Once you are at the stage you have aimed for, there is nothing better than seeing if you have the competitive edge over your peers. Take your car to a track day, have a race, make friends and share tips and information. But above all, learn about your hobby. Whether you win or not when you first start doing is not really the point. It's more about gaining some experience and some extra know-how about radio controlled cars.

There are usually two categories of radio controlled cars: toy cars or hobby cars.
- Toy vehicles
Toy models are the pre-assembled vehicles found in the most common discount store or retail store. These are usually the ones referred to as merely a kid's play thing. These are easy to operate and relatively safe.
- Hobby Cars
There are two kinds of hobby automobiles: nitro-powered models and gas-powered. Nitro-powered offers several speeds: maximum power, medium and a slightly slower speed. A nitro-powered engine is powered by fuel and may be refuelled and back to action in a matter of seconds. These cars are air cooled and you do not have to worry about having to take a break for the car to cool down.

This hobby can be a little expensive if you don't keep a watch on the cash, but as long as you're careful, there is no reason you can't have cars that you are proud of - and maybe RC cars that bring in the trophies!
