Remote controlled cars are fun toys that can help improve problem solving skills and hand-eye coordination. You can get them as ready to run models and DIY kits. Personally, I prefer the DIY kits, as getting to build your own RC car from the ground up will give you insight about how they work, and the gratification of having built it from scratch can go a long way in ensuring you enjoy the hobby for many years to come. But there are many kits on the market, some of which are more focused at kids, whereas other require more skills to assemble. That being said, it's important to pick the right kit if you've decided to build your own remote control car. In order to ensure you get the right kit, here are some of the factors you'll need to consider.
