A guide for choosing an RC-car


by Hobbyfactory Oy, 9.11.2020

There are over 100 different RC-cars in our selection, and the're divided into the following categories: Ready To Run Electric Cars (RTR), Electric car kits, Nitro cars; kits and Ready To Runs (RTR) but if you want to find the car that suits you the best, keep reading!

It's not easy to find the RC-car that suits you



We know that because we'seen hundreds of RC-cars and we know that they have big differences. Because the range of the prices of the cars is so large, from about 60€ all the way up to well over 1000€ cars, you should pick a budget first. After this the next question you should answer would be whereand what on kind of terrain will you be running the car and simultaneously you should ask yourself if you intend on racing on actual RC race tracks. After this you should take into consideration how fast of a car do you want and obviously which car looks the best.

Important questions
Budget Find the best car for your budget
Parts availability Are there parts available for the car??
Terrain Do you want to go off-road or are flat surfaces for you?
How fast of a car Straight line speeds or off-road capabilities? 
The exterior Which of the cars looks the best?
Do you want to race Are you interested in real RC racing on a track?




One very important point you should take into consideration is the availability of spare parts.

Every single RC-car will break when you hit something fast enough which is why it's important that you can get spare parts on a short notice. We're proud to always provide spare parts to the cars we sell and we have thousands of parts readily available. We've also picked out brands that guarantee good part support and if we're out of a part we can generally get more on a week's notice. So when you're looking for a new car choose a brand that has a proven working part support such as Team Associated, Traxxas, ARRMA, ECX, HB Racing, Axial and Element RC

Brand From our selection you'll find Spare parts
Team Associated Over 1000 different aftermarket- and spare parts Team Associated spare parts
ARRMA Over 1000 different aftermarket- and spare parts ARRMA spare parts
Traxxas Over 1000 different aftermarket- and spare parts Traxxas spare parts

150-250€

In this price category you get a proper car ready for outdoor use. Cars cheaper than these are known to break promises, but for 150-250€ you can find quality options to get you started in the hobby. The biggest mistake you can make while getting into the hobby according to our experience is to get a car from and unknown brand for about a hundred euros. That way the hobby usually ends when the car doesn't function as promised and spare parts can't be found anywhere.


In the over 150€ price category some great options are the ECX RWD cars, such as Amp Crush, Circuit and Amp MT trucks, the legendary Traxxas Rustler or if you want to go and hit the trails Team Associated or ECX 1/12 crawlers.
