Confidence-Boosting Durability for Beginners
For beginners with RC cars and trucks, being able to start driving almost immediately is just one of the advantages to choosing a Ready-to-Run vehicle. Factory experts have already assembled your RTR vehicle, so you can rest assured the work has all been done correctly and the RC vehicle will run properly. You don’t need to worry about having problems and possibly needing to diagnose and fix them before you’re ready. You can just have fun!
Ready-to-run RC vehicles are also constructed of strong materials to deliver confidence-boosting durability. Beginner RC drivers can be tough on their RC cars and trucks, accidentally running into obstacles or crashing into other RC vehicles at high speeds. It’s reassuring to know that your RTR RC vehicle has been designed and built to survive rough treatment, so you have time to practice and perfect your control skills.
There’s more to the excitement of the radio control car and truck hobby than just driving, of course. Even with beginner RC cars, it's a thrill to own a working scale model that looks just like your favorite full-size vehicle. If you don’t have strong painting and detailing skills, don’t worry. Choose a factory-finished Ready-to-Run RC vehicle and you can drive a scale remote control car or truck that looks every bit as realistic as those driven by champion RC modelers! You might be a beginner to the hobby, but the appearance of your RC vehicle won’t give that away. And there are so many RTR cars and trucks to choose from, you’ll have no trouble finding one that captures your personal style.
Enormous Variety of RC Cars and RC Trucks
Horizon Hobby offers a huge variety of Ready-to-Run RC cars and trucks, many of which are perfect for beginner RC drivers.

They’re all developed and manufactured by the RC hobby’s most highly respected brands, including Losi®, Axial®, ARRMA®, and others.

They’re put together by experts who know which power systems, electronics, and other components will work together well to produce the best performance. Replacement parts and optional upgrades are available from Horizon Hobby so you can make repairs and take performance even higher.
