You Should Build An RC Car Kit! 10 Reasons Why And What You’ll Learn - Get Into RC | RC Driver

Ready to run RC cars, they make getting into RC so quick and easy. For those who don’t know how to build, it’s certainly very convenient to get into RC with an RTR. But there are some that want to build, some that want to learn all about what makes up their car. If building an RC car kit has even crossed your mind, then you should really look into it some more. In this video we’re going to go over why you should build an RC car kit. In fact, we broke it down into 10 reasons why and what you’ll learn. Mostly when you build a kit, you will learn about the major components, but we’ll tell you why you want to learn about them. What you need to monitor on each of the parts of the car when you do go out and drive it. We’ll also talk about things you can do to your RC. Also we’ll discuss some of the decisions you can make for your car while you’re building such as electronics suggestions. Sure there are lots of things to learn about RC car kits and we’ll cover some of the basics, but this video will help you make that decision if building is right for you.

biggest reason I always suggest someone build a kit is so they know how yo repair their car if it breaks. Plus the sense of accomplishment at seeing what you just built running around the track, neighborhood, local bashing area.

Building RC kits is my favorite part of the hobby!

[redbones]

You learn so much and it's part of the whole RC experience. If you don't like to wrench, you won't get the most out of this hobby.

I learned so much from building a kit, I recently got into R/C and bought me and my daughter a few Traxxas RTR trucks, couple days ago I got the stampede kit also, had so much fun building it and learned so much about the trucks....everyone should do at least one kit, I will be doing more kits for sure...great channel👍

[ICanProbablyDoThat]

That was one of the most descriptive, but to the point, explanation videos I’ve seen in a long time for just about anything. Thanks so much for the instructions!

[Stickies]

Yep, building kits is probably the best part of RC. It gives you a real feel for your car when you know exactly how it is all put together. Great Video to be a part of your Awesome series!!!! Thank you for making awesome content for everyone in RC!!!

[billderas]

Thumbs up to building kits. Great that you thought of this for those that are considering going with an RTR or a kit. I started with an initial RTR; but, went over to kits since. Enjoy the build and the customization possibilities.

[brandontiegs]

What a great video!!! Thank you for taking the time and going over why each step is so important. I'm new the the hobby and I've been really watching this channel to learn more about it. Keep doing what you do. I'm looking forward to your next video!

Totally awesome my hubby was just telling me how he wanted to get into RCs as a hobby but ssid he wanted to learn from step 1 to learn to appreciate it more.

[elektronkim]

Great video. This hobby is insane. I got nosy with the electronics and got a brushless motor/ESC/BEC to work with a micro controller doing something like a throttle tester. To move forward is another story (a lot of expensive parts).

Always a good topic to talk about - Building a kit not only gives you some mechanical knowledge, but also gives you a better understanding of what needs to be taken apart when it comes time to tune, maintain or repair the vehicle.

[alfredyost]

I totally agree. If you build the kit it will be easier to maintain and even easier to upgrade the parts if you choose to do so. I own over 30 kits I built all but one. The kit I did not build was a Traxxas slash. However I did still modify the truck with a brushless motor and metal shocks from Proline. I actually enjoy the whole building process even more than driving my truck, or car. Think about that .

It is truly awesome to drive something you just build! ✌🏼😎👍🏼

[RevoRob]

I have always wished more manufacturers offered kit versions of their RTRs.

[DHC]

I just built this kit with my son! It’s his was his fist kit build! I’ve been in the hobby for over 30yrs and I miss building kits. You out lined all the perfect reasons for building a kit, and it’s why I pretty much disassemble and rebuild my RTRs. So you can learn the car, and the most important reasons for me are that it gives me opportunities to enjoy my hobby and spend time with my son! It teaches him how to build, how things work, and patience! He enjoys building nearly as much as driving them. He’s much more “invested” in this truck because he spent time building it, he takes better care of it as a result. There’s no downside to building your own RBC cars. It’s a shame that they don’t make many kits anymore.

[Petsublak]

Hi, many thanks for making this video, really appreciated.

[benjamin_luscombe]

I built my first kit for a school club last year, it was a ton of fun and I’m hoping to get my first car for my self soon

[rcOhio]

What an excellent track! Man I wish we had something like that around here!
The only danger of building a kit is the addiction to the build! Then you end up like me with over 20 models sitting around your hobby room and you’re continuously looking for your next great build!

[sylvainster]

Wow great job on the kit Greg 👍🏼
✌🏼😎👍🏼

“You should build an RC Kit because I sell them”! I’m just kidding I like your channel a lot
