If someone is interested in radio controlled hobbies, they almost always start with a car. Unlike a boat or a plane, cars usually won’t be completely destroyed if they fail. It is very easy to make a basic radio controlled car, but as you do it you will discover that there is a huge amount of knowledge that can be gained. As you gain this knowledge, you can start to use advanced techniques to create cars that are stronger, faster, or more efficient than your previous ones. You can throw one together in a few minutes, or you can spend months creating an amazing car with superb speed and handling. The amount of effort you put into it is entirely up to you.
If you are just starting with radio controlled hobbies, it is probably wise to just buy a pre-made radio controlled car. You can buy these in toy shops almost anywhere. It may be slow and clumsy, and it may not satisfy your technological urges, but it is a good place to start. Play with it for a couple of days, and then take it apart. Look at the way the motors are connected to the wheels, and look at the general architecture of the car. After you understand it all, you will have much better luck when you start to build your own. You may even be able to use a few parts, such as the body of the car or the radio equipment. The motors will probably not be as strong as you would like.
After you have gained this essential basic understanding of the way that radio controlled cars work, you can start on whatever you want your next project to be. For most people, their goal is to build a model car from wood or plastic, install the electrical components, paint it, apply decals, and basically get it looking as good and performing as good as possible. Others may want to build an incredibly fast remote controlled car to show off to friends. No matter what you want to do, you will only be able to achieve it if you take it one step at a time and learn everything there is to know about remote controlled hobbies.
Many different resources can help you out along your way to becoming an expert in radio controlled hobbies. You will probably be spending a lot of time researching all of the different information that you need. You can find it all over the internet, including many different tutorials. For more specific questions, you can go to community groups and forums. This is where people from all over the world gather together on the internet to discuss their hobby, support each other, and brag about their latest accomplishments. Usually they are very welcoming to newcomers, especially if you are very clear and polite in asking your question.
Radio controlled cars don’t have to be without competition. If you want to put your car up against those of other enthusiasts, you can find many different races and exhibitions around the world. Just do a quick internet search, and find out what the nearest option is. You might have to take a weekend trip, but it will be worth it to be around those who are as passionate as you about what you are doing. These meetings may include races, or just a good old convention to share tips and tricks with other radio hobbyists. You would be surprised at the large amount of information that you can learn from the people who go to these events.
Starting a new hobby may be daunting at first, since there is a wealth of information that you probably know nothing about. However, if you just get started with the basics and use all of your resources that are at your disposal, you will be able to succeed.

Wow, that takes skill! Do you fly 3d?
cool flying…nice one
We always went to a hobby shop that specialized in that sort of thing for my brother and they had skill numbers on them. Also try Radio Shack. I know my parents got a few cars there but I don't know how much work my brother actually did on them. I know that it cost quite the pretty penny to do the cars, and my brother and dad loved to demolish them shortly afterwards. They definitely have more power than the ones you get at the toy store. Remotes tend to come seperate though, but can be used for mulitple cars, and the chargers are also sold seperately. It was neat though because they would just go and get the part they needed to fix it. I can't remember any exact brand names, but I know he built a mustang as his first and a few trucks, then got into the gas powered ones.

lol, it would suck if it crashed, like if it hit a light post or something. How the hell do you drive at the same time?
It’s a great idea for long road trips.
I couln't agree more with 'M Curious'.
It's GREAT that they have stopped making Beyblades. Keep all of yours and in the future you may want to sell them for good money!
The only thing I can think of is The Sims 3. It's coming out in February, and it's a Computer game. You make a family and keep their motives up, take them to work, etc. I have the Sims 2 and LOVE it! I would encourage you to by the Sims 2, but considering the Sims 3 is coming out very soon, you might as well wait another month and buy that instead. I think it's around $50 but it's well worth it's price!

My family and I got into nitro cars July of last year. I wanted a car that was vary dependable but yet wouldn't brake the bank. I went with 2, 1/10 scale buggy's for my children and an 1/8 scale buggy for my self. The 1/10 scale buggy are great beginner cars and the 1/8 is more advanced for racing. The links I've are the Buggy's I've got and there reviews from R/C Universe
Lithium would be my first choice. If Lithium is not available then I would see if I could get Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMH) though not as good as Lithium it is better than Nickel-Cadmium (NiCd). With Lithium you get full power until the battery is depleted, You are also able to charge them at any point and leave them on the charger. NiCd has a memory so you have to deplete the charge all the way (or really low) before charging or it will shorten the usage because it will think your last charge point is the depleted point. As for the RC longevity logically I would think the plain would use less battery because of it's gliding. Though I have no personal knowledge of this. Sorry.
the bigger the mhz number the longer the battery lasts and the more power you will get
Oh, lol.
So the camera person is driving? It ain’t that hard to drive straight
