Long considered the exclusive preserve of teenage boys, the hobby of remote control cars is making a major comeback among those interested in race cars, team sports, and electronics. Read on for a few of the reasons why people seem to be getting into this hobby again: All the Thrill of Racing without of the Drawbacks Auto racing has long been one of the most popular sports worldwide. Major leagues like F1 and NASCAR clearly demonstrate the continuing appeal of high-speed, high-adrenaline racing. Unfortunately, despite its mass appeal, auto racing is prohibitively expensive for most, and can be tragically dangerous. This explains much of the appeal of RC racing. You still get the thrill of high speed racing and the technical fun of building and tuning a car for maximum speed, but at a fraction of the cost and without any danger whatsoever. Great Training for Future Engineers Highly trained and competent engineers are among the most in-demand employees by companies in all industries. As technology continues to become more and more important, engineers are surely to become even more vital. As a result, many people are looking for ways to develop their technical-thinking skills while relaxing and having fun at the same time. Designing, building, and racing high-performance electro-mechanical RC cars fits the bill perfectly. Great New Cars Long gone are the boring RC cars of 20 or 30 years ago. Today’s cars are high-performance speed machines. Specialty hobby shops exist solely to cater to the needs of an increasingly sophisticated consumer base which demands high performance components. Extra long life battery packs, real shock absorbers for uneven terrain, and even RC cars with liquid fuel engines are becoming the norm in the world of hobby remote control cars. Good, Clean, Fun As far as hobbies go, the hobby of remote cars is one of the better ones to have. Not only is it educational, but it also promotes a healthy balance of competition and cooperation. A typical high end car generally requires, in addition to a grocery list of high-performance items, continual maintenance and upkeep in order to maintain peak working condition. As a result, small teams will often manage one car together, which they will then race against other local teams. The sport thus brings out the competitive spirit, as you still have the drive to win, while balancing it with the cooperative efforts of working together with a team in order to achieve something great.
