The radio-controlled car hobby can be great fun. You get the feel of driving a car or truck like you could never drive your real car. Beginners usually begin with an electric RC truck or car, and they love being totally in control of a fully functional scale model that is just waiting for your next command.
To enjoy this hobby, it is important to know the various types of operations available to pursue your hobby. The most popular type of R/C car is the off-road buggy. Big tires with “knobby” spikes, full-travel suspension parts, and a high ground clearance allow the off-roader to go almost anywhere. They come with either two-wheel drive (2WD) or four-wheel drive (4WD) and reach speeds of 15-30 mph. On-road cars usually have lower ground clearances, slick tires, aerodynamic bodies, and are capable of a bit higher speeds.
