Get Into the Action with Radio Control and Robotic RC Hobbies

Radio control and robotic RC are called "action hobbies" for good reason. These models aren't designed to sit on the shelf. Whether you're flying aircraft or directing the path of a land or water-bound vehicle, it's YOU behind the controls. Your skills and situational awareness are needed for a successful flight, race, or cruise.

Robotic RC hobbies include the popular robot-against-robot competition known as BattleBots. Competitors design and build radio controlled, armored, weaponed machines that fight it out in an elimination tournament. There's nothing out-of-the-box about this hobby!

Radio Control Hobbies

Radio control hobbies and adventure go hand-in-hand. Fly RC airplanes or helicopters with your feet never leaving the ground. Meet the dirt track head on with your remote control 4 x 4. Experience the thrill of a NASCAR race or the danger of steering a ship through rough water.

Radio control hobbies offer something for every skill level and every age. Children way too young to drive a real car will be thrilled with a battery powered, miniature race car under the Christmas tree. Older kids may be ready for a radio control gas powered vehicle. But radio control hobbies aren't just for kids.

Building and flying model aircraft is technologically challenging. Pilots need to understand aerodynamics, engine and radio systems. Radio control helicopters and planes are available as ready to fly (RTF) or as kits you build yourself.

Robotic RC Hobbies

The fascinating field of robotics is both science and hobby. It ranges from toy robots capable of simple tasks to highly complex robots that perform calculations and operate automatically. To qualify as a robot, a machine must be able to get information from its surroundings and do something physical, such as move or manipulate objects.
