What factors should I consider when choosing my RC model?
This is the first questions that an RC newcomers should before entering the RC world. There are many things to consider, such as:

How
much space do you have around your house e.g. your garden or locally e.g. a park or playing field where you can use the car, truck, plane or helicopter?

How much time you can spend working on the model?

Are you interested in road cars (i.e. to operate on tarmac); race cars (i.e. to operate on a race track) or off-road cars?

Are you interested in aircraft? Which type of aircraft interests you - planes or helicopters? The detailed descriptions in our on-line catalogue of RC planes and RC helicopters will guide you regarding the level of experience required to fly a particular model.

Are you interested in RC boats? Do you have a lake or large pond nearby?

How competent are you at building products that you buy in the form of a kit of parts with instructions? Or would you rather choose a pre-built ‘Ready To Run’ (“RTR”) model?
