Choosing Your First Remote Controlled Vehicle

If you are planning to buy your first remote control toy, there are certain things you need to keep in mind. It is always advisable to buy a ready to run (RTR) kit as your first choice. Experienced hands in the remote controlled toys business prefer to buy spares and then assemble their vehicles. However, as a novice it is always wise to buy a ready built gadget as your first buy. Most of the toys that are ready to run require only minimal assembly to make them running. A Walkera Dragonfly helicopter may only require screwing the wings before it is ready to fly. Similarly if you buy a truck, it may only require gluing the wheels before it is ready to run. The price of a ready kit may be slightly expensive than buying spares and assembling the helicopter or a truck. However, it will take sometime before one can actually start assembling the parts to make a RC toy running.

Experienced hobbyists who have spent years handling RC toys prefer to buy the spares and assemble the toys. This is more interesting because they can create a vehicle which is developed as per their specifications. It is similar to a designer car. For an experienced RC car enthusiast, it may take 3-5 days to assemble a vehicle. Assembling a remote controlled vehicle may cost $50 – $100 more than what one would pay for a ready to run toy. With my experience in remote controlled helicopters I have noticed that most of the leading online retailers have a ready stock of spare parts to ensure that RC toy owners always have their toys in running condition. So, if you are planning an Align Trex 450SE V1 V2 Combo and worried about getting the parts, you can put your worries to rest. Most manufacturers of remote controlled toys like Walkera, ESky and Align Trex produce fully loaded products which require little or no modifications. These are excellent gift items for kids. For a hobbyist, RC toys are an expensive proposition but they are definitely worth the time and money when you see them flying high during an exhibition or racing ahead of the competition.

Remote controlled toys are based on electricity or Nitro fuels. So depending upon the requirement, you have to buy the product. A RC toy can become a hobby for the whole family starting from a 5 year old to a 90 year old. Earlier the toys were mostly the favorites of kids in the West. Nowadays Chinese manufacturers are manufacturing toys which are much cheaper than what is available in the West. Online retailers are taking these toys to markets in the region. With different payment options and multi-lingual websites, buying RC toys have become simple. Parents are also happy to gift their children the first RC toy. It is a win-win situation for the buyers as well as the sellers. I am sure that the popularity of RC toys is only going to increase and we are going to have many more new models.

Help answer the question about remote controlled cars

Multiple remote controlled cars, one control?
I'm wondering if it's possible to wire multiple remote controlled cars so that a single remote can control them all simultaneously (so that they move in exactly the same way). I'm designing something of a bizarre costume that I would like to be able to "drive", so to speak, when it's in a certain position, so whatever wheels/controls I use would have to be as lightweight as possible, which is why I thought of the toy cars. I'm not familiar at all with this sort of thing, so I wouldn't be surprised if this sounds quite silly, but it's worth asking, I suppose. I myself don't weigh that much, which is why I'm not concerned with multiple toy cars being able to support my weight (although it would be quite funny if I tried it and they COULDN'T, haha).

If my toy car idea isn't possible/likely to work, is there something else I could try? Are there websites, or maybe books that I might refer to? (Oh, the crazy projects I take on…)

Thanks for any help. :)
