Last years we have broaden our RC hobby and today we use RC crawlers almost evey week on the summer house, in the forrest or just walking the dog. Driving with crawlers is chilling, almost therapeutic, and the ability to climb is amazing. Building the perfect crawler for you is great pleasure and you can build the car that gives you the best feeling.



The most popular class of RC is Bashing. We have been bashing for years and the point of bashing is to do the biggest jumps, craziest tricks and longest powerslides and wheelies. Crazy performances gives plus points and the laughs after a long cartwheel is unforgettable. You can bash your car at your backyard, at the local park or sandpit, wherever you find a good spot, and if you go to a good spot with a good car the entertainment for the day is guaranteed.




All different forms of RC are great in there own ways, and at least for me the best balance I get by changing the class, car, form of driving to keep the interest going strong. 

Why do we think RC is such a great hobby?

Here are a couple of key points we think makes RC such a great hobby.

-Away from everyday. With an RC car you can go to the forest, the RC-track or sandpit, out in the nature away from everyday life with friends or by yourself in peace. 

-Raise your adrenalin levels. Driving an RC-car is exiting and the amazing performance of an RC-car surprises you time after time. Regarding excitment I personally remember an certain MMA-fighter that found RC-racing during a injury break and after the first final of the first club race said that this was the most excited he has ever been at the start at a race or fight. 

-Spend quality time with your friends. You get to spend time with friends with a common hobby! If you want to find more friends with RC as a hobby you can hit up local RC clubs, facebook or whatsapp groups to find new friends that share the same passion as you. 

-Spend quality time with your family. RC-cars combines all ages and is a great "father-son" hobby. Both dad, mom, daughter and son can race equally well and it´s a great way to combine the family for some quality time together. Get two cars and start racing!  

-Express yourself. RC-cars are highly tunable and customizable and you can build them to suit exactly your style. E cool looking truck will guaranteed turn heads outdoors or at the dinner table sitting at a shelf. What is your dream full size car? Build an replica from an RC-car.

RC-cars is a great hobby for adults and kids and it suits every age and demographics. If you are getting an RC-car for your kids we believe that on top on of a great hobby a RC car can be a great way to raise your kid. Like:

-Teach the kid to be responsible, a RC-car is a long time investment that last for years as long as you service, build and fix the car and develop it at the same time as you develop your hobby. No need to throw away the car, instead you can service, fix and develop the car that is important for you. RC is a great way to teach the kid about the importance of sustainability.  

-Improve concentration. Driving an RC-car takes concentration. A kid that has trouble with his concentration can drive an RC car fully focused for a surprisingly long time if, and when, the kid gets excited about the driving and improve focus at the same time.

-Learn mechanics. How does machanics work, what is the basic working principle of a vehicle and how does adjustment change the car?

-Improve fine motor skills. With an RC car you improve your fine motor skills and improve the accuracy of your fingers. Both driving and wrenching on the car is a great way to improve fine motor skills.
