Product Description
Product Description
Driving radio-control cars is an enjoyable hobby and also a competitive sport, but the vast range of different types of models now available can prove confusing for those new to the scene. This extensively illustrated book starts by providing all the information needed to choose the right model, and goes on to present advice on how to build kits as well as driving techniques, maintenance, modifying, set-up and the various different classes of racing. This book is an essential reading for those contemplating buying their first model and for those already involved in the scene looking to progress to the next level.

Format:Hardcover
This brand new book contains everything you need to know about Radio Controlled Cars. The pictures are bright and informative with detailed descriptions of all the important parts. My nephew really wanted to get a radio controlled car and this book helped him make the choice between electric and nitro and whether to go for on road or off road. Even if you think you know everything there is to know I am sure you will learn something from this book. I would highly recommend it!

I bought this book in order to get back into RC cars after a 17 year absence. This book helped me sort out potential problems before I even bought my new car, and gave vital guidelines as to choosing the right equipment for my application. Also, it gives pro advice on almost everything related to RC cars, absolutely brilliant!

I bought this book (well in fact my girlfriend did) as I love reading RC magazines. I noticed this one was written by the Editor of RC Racer which my favourite mag. It is like an extended version of their Racer specials and follows a similar format.
Matt Benfield goes into detail on all the aspects of RC racing and fun and I think the excellent photographs also make this book.
It's great to see RC represented in print and would recommend this for people getting into RC cars as well as seasoned veterans.

All looks and no substance.
This book looks very good but is very dissapointing. I am new to r/c and was hoping it would help me with tips on my build, but it doesn't. Read more
