Radio controlled (RC) toys can be toy grade or hobby grade.
The toy-grade Radio Controlled devices can be available at a cheap rate in almost every retail store. They are made of non-serviceable parts and are produced in bulk. The toys are not very robust in their speed or abilities. A radio controlled device of one toy cannot be used in another toy. They are not durable and are of “soft” material; these toys are mostly not able to take on the rugged terrain outdoors. They are available in “ready to use”, “buy and play” models and need no assembly. The only thing that will be required is to open the battery case and put in the batteries, and then the toy is ready for use.
On the other hand, hobby grade radio controlled toys are made of durable material, and are custom made. They are mostly simple in their design. The design is simple and can be re-used / remodeled, and can be serviced. The radio controller and the parts can easily be used in another hobby grade toy. They are durable and more robust. They are not always available in ready-to-use state, though there are many hobby-grade RC stores that will deliver the toy in assembled state. Many hobbyists like to buy the toy in parts, and prefer to do the assembly themselves. The design, assembly, and driving of the radio controlled toy is in itself a hobby. The serious hobbyists also indulge in the RC sports that have their rules and specifications, not to mention the winnings which usually will be an enhancement to their current RC toy or another RC toy.
Every RC toy is available as a toy grade or a hobby grade toy nowadays. They can be airplanes, helicopters, boats, cars and robots.
Airplanes come in various sizes and shapes ranging from small flyers to gas turbine driven aerobatic models. The models can be tethered to a fixed pole via rope, or can be free flying models. They can be electrically propelled, or fuel driven models. The latest radio controlled models can reach up to 250mph. RC airborne toys require a high level of knowledge and control, and will need supervision of adults. They are not suitable for younger kids. They are relatively more expensive than the rest of the RC models. This is another reason that younger kids cannot use it safely, since a crash can result in damage that can be too costly.
The RC car is the one most common toy among radio controlled model hobbyists. The cars come in various sizes and shapes and can also be fuel driven or electrically powered. Just like the cars come in various sizes and shapes, so do the enthusiasts! RC cars are relatively safe compared to the airborne toys, and can be controlled even by a child. They can be “off-road” or “on-road” models, referring to the terrain on which they can drive on. The RC car races are common for the radio controlled model hobbyists.
Helicopters: Another airborne radio controlled model. It is different from the airplane in design and flight, and some say that it is much more interesting to fly. However, the same considerations that apply to helicopters apply here too.
A radio controlled boat was the first “toy” to be remote controlled. Tesla demonstrated the remote control boat model which he showed to the public as a device that “obeyed people’s commands”, where in reality it was him controlling the boat according to the people’s commands.
Robotics: These are most popular in Japan, but the popularity is quickly catching up in other nations in the west too. Robotic hobbyists who design, control and model the robotics for various activities are common, and there are various competitions held regularly for them to create the best robot. Robotics however, are actually moving from radio controlled models to the latest artificial intelligence models and voice controlled models. But, radio controlled models of robots are still very popular as toys, as hobbies as well as a safety tool for remote handling of bombs and such.

Hoffe es gibt bald mehr zu sehen.
in the UK motorized RC vehicles [battery] are allowed
to be used with caution and not on the road
but nitro fueled RC vehicles can be used without a permit
but only on private grounds/property and with owner of the land permission ,which is fair enough because some nitro fuelled RC vehicles go extremely fast,and would cause a nasty injury if it hit somebodys foot/leg on the main street,if that helps at all?
ps:and of course there is the high level of
noise pollution to be taken into
consideration too,so all in all !
and i have never been to sunny california in my life,i will stick my neck out and say no you cannot use a gas/nitro rc vehicle on pavements and streets purely because it
makes sense not to
you use rc fuel.. its sold at any hobby store. its about $15-20 a gallon, but the car uses so little that they only sell it by ounces.
the distance it can be controlled from has to do with the power of the transmitter and receiver in the car and controller. You can buy controllers that will work well over 1/2 mile. being $180, its on the lower end, so i would say about 1/8th of a mile.
i dont have one, but my neighbor has one that will hit 75mph, but you need a license for it… thats all i know.. i dont know who authorizes the license, but i know its by how fast it goes.
You can. You should only drive on streets with little to no traffic. If you cause an accident, you may be held liable. If some one runs over your car, your out of luck. You still need to obey local noise laws. I used to run my nitro buggy up and down the street all the time. If a neighbor got upset, I would ask when would be a good time to run my car so that it would not bother them. Most the time, my neighbors didn't mind.
It depends just how hard that remote car hit your ankle…I am sure you can tell by looking at it and how large a contusion you have. At this point I would soak it in some warm/hot water 2x a day,UNLESS it is swollen.
If it is swollen, put ice packs on and off for 20 minutes intervals 2x a day.Feel better and good luck on Sunday. ***** If it really is troublesome, of course, see your DOCTOR.
I found you a car…click on the links
I changed my mind down below…be a cool parent but remember only if you can afford to do so with this hobby…
In my opinion I would wait till he is older and you should buy a new car…these cars are a very expensive hobby…so if you want to keep your hobby in running condition I would try to find a local store so when you need parts for the car you can pick them up…
Don't get me wrong I think every kidd deserves a car like this and if you can afford the hobby, I say go for it!!!
don't forget you need to also buy a remote control, batteries, and battery charger for the car…
Sorry, but a "good" gas R/C airplane is going to cost $400-800, with controller. The controller is one of the most expensive purchases you'll make. You can buy $100 cheapie R/C planes with 2-axis controls for learning. But really good ones will cost you, you won't find a multi-controller for cheap. $400 will be about what you can expect to pay for a high quality controller.

Start with an electric. Any Traxxas electric will work for a beginner. May I suggest the Stampede or Rustler because of how strong they are. They can be driven on or offroad. So its the best of both worlds. Some links to the rc cars:

I do not know about hobby shops in the Philippines, but almost all manufactures ship world wide. I do know that the rc hobby is very popular their, because I see results from many races held their each year. There are many entry level nitro powered rc vehicles that are very reasonably priced. Duratrax has two or three great entry level nitro trucks.
if it is old, the piston may have more wear and just using more gas, you may try a micrometer and check the piston and cylinder and compare them to the specs of a new engine
