RC CRAZE!!! GRAB A REMOTE!!!!

RC cars, RC buggies and RC truck bodies come in all shapes, sizes and brands from Lamborghini all the way to Mustang. RC cars, monster trucks and other radio controlled vehicles can be found in virtually every neighborhood, so beware when the little counterparts cross in front of your car.

For a great deal on used rc cars, discount rc cars and other rc cars for sale, they always have virtually every rc cars and trucks imaginable.

Before you invest in your new found hobby, I highly recommend that you hop on over to youtube.com and watch some rc car videos on the specific rc car, rc truck or rc buggy you may be thinking about investing in.

Although electric rc cars seem to be a bit more popular and easier to work on, there is a lot to be said for the sound and raw power of a gas powered rc car.

Check with your local hobby store as most seem to have some sort of live rc racing setup on a weekly basis.

If you are looking for a great father/son hobby, radio controlled toys are it. Start out with a micro rc car, see how the little guy likes it and then move on up to the more advanced rc model cars, rc monster trucks or more sophisticated radio controlled cars.

Balance Your Radio-Controlled Helicopter

Learn to Balance Your Radio-Controlled Helicopter

Step1

Read every page of the instruction manual that accompanied your RC helicopter kit when you bought it. You will need to have a good working knowledge of your RC copter's moving parts in order to master the difficult task of finding balance while hovering.

Step2

Familiarize yourself with the radio control unit for your helicopter before you head out into the field. Consult your instruction manual if you need further explanation on the exact functions of the controls included.

Step3

Put your RC helicopter on the ground (grass, ideally, in case you crash) about 5 to 7 feet in front of you. Make sure the nose is pointing away from you, and the helicopter's tail is nearest you.
Step4
Use the radio control unit to bring the helicopter 'up to speed,' meaning to get its blades rotating fast enough for lift-off while maintaining ground stability. Note that this step itself may require considerable practice to perform properly.

Step5

Use the throttle on your radio control to give the RC copter the extra kick it needs to become airborne. Pull back on the amount of throttle you're applying once the copter is about 1 foot off the ground, giving it just enough juice to stay in the air. Make every effort to keep it in the same spot. This will be difficult, especially for beginners.

Step6

Release the throttle (also sometimes called the 'collective') so the helicopter returns to the ground. Make a note of what you did right and where things went wrong.

Step7

Keep trying. Flying an RC helicopter is not easy, and newcomers can become discouraged very quickly. The more you practice, the easier it will get.
