Buying a Radio Control Car - What Are My Options?

If you are thinking about buying a radio controlled car for someone special, you might want to know a little about these vehicles first. There are several things you need to consider before you jump in and buy a radio controlled vehicle. The first thing is, know what type of vehicle you are going to buy.

As with virtually everything on the market today, there are multiple manufactures, styles, models and types of R/C vehicles to choose from. Here are the basic models you can purchase in all price ranges:

- Cars
- Trucks
- Boats
- Airplanes
- ATVs
- Helicopters

You should consider the person you are buying the R/C vehicle for when you begin your search. Try to buy something they will get use out of. For example, if the person has a dirt driveway and does not live near any water it would be wise to buy them a vehicle that can be driven on the dirt and not one for the water. Although, you could think outside of the box and consider an aircraft R/C vehicle for almost any residential area.

Depending on the age of the person you are looking to buy an R/C vehicle for, you can increase the price and go all out for one of the more expensive models that the avid hobbyist have. The more costly radio control cars have more perks than the average R/C vehicle. Among some of the perks are:

- Increased speed
- Better suspension
- Higher powered controls
- Electric powered
- Gas powered
- Light weight

For a less expensive R/C vehicle, you do not have to compromise on style. You can find many similar styles to the expensive hobbyist at only a fraction of the price. Realistically, a great inexpensive radio controlled car can cost anywhere from $20-60. In this price range, you can’t go wrong when buying for a child. This is a gift that can improve their hand/eye coordination and give them pride as they learn to accomplish new moves and tricks with their R/C vehicle.

Regardless of the individual person you are buying the radio controlled car for, it is likely you are going to be able to find one that is going to meet their needs, level of expertise and age without breaking the bank. With a little creativity and knowledge of the person you are buying for, you will have the perfect gift that will give hours of fun in return.
