If you plan on buying or owning a radio controlled car (RC), be prepared to shell out some cash. Avid RC collectors and hobbyists spend hundreds and hundreds of dollars just to buy and build the best RC they can afford to buy. You might ask why they do this, but they do this simply because they have fun. If you are looking to venture into the same hobby and would simply like to try it out before making any large investment, there are some cheap radio controlled cars available in the market.
The cheapest RCs can cost in the area of $30. Elenco Electronics makes a radio controlled car kit for $29.95. The purpose of their production is specifically for new RC users and probably enthusiasts. A same one by Ramsey costs around $32.95. By buying any of these less expensive RC kits, you will learn how to assemble a radio controlled car from scratch. There is an instruction manual which will guide you through the entire process.
Since you are probably new in the area of RCs, these types of car kits should be what you will get. Not only will you learn how to assemble, you will also learn how an RC really works - from how you control it with the remote to how it actually moves around. You should not expect too much from these inexpensive models - don't expect that they will blow away other RCs in terms of speed. In fact, when you try to race it, you will probably be left behind by some of the others with higher models. The real targets of these RC kits are beginners, which is why they don't cost as much as the more advanced models.
It's important to start with cheap radio controlled cars because of two things - one, you will save money if you find out that you have little interest in this hobby. The hundreds of dollars you will spend should you decide to get a high model immediately would only be wasted. At least if you get a cheaper model, you didn't have to spend as much. Two, you can learn easier and better. If you don't get the assembly right the first time, start over. This is the perfect learning tool for RCs, since it is very generic, yet at the same time covers a lot of important ground. Your future RC assemblies will be much easier once you have gotten past the first time.
