RC Car Kits and RC Truck Kits

RC car kits are the perfect hobby for anyone who enjoys tinkering with mechanical devices and learning how they work. In fact, much of the engineering inside a radio control car or truck kit closely follows that of full-size automobiles, reproduced in a smaller scale. In the early days of the radio control hobby, most of the models available were RC kits. Factory-assembled, ready-to-run (RTR) cars began gaining popularity in the late 1980s and have now become more common than remote control car kits. However, you might still occasionally hear some RTR models praised for having “kit quality.” That’s because today’s RC car and truck kits are usually intended for experienced hobbyists and represent the hobby’s highest standards of design and construction excellence. Choosing an RC car kit from Tower Hobbies® gives you the opportunity to enjoy two model hobby activities with one purchase. First, you assemble your own working RC vehicle from supplied parts and instructions. It’s challenging, rewarding, and educational. Once you’ve completed assembly, you can look forward to years of driving your new RC car, competing with other racers, and learning how to upgrade your assembled RC vehicle kit with optional parts for custom looks and performance.
