What Does Hobby Grade RC Car Mean?

Hobby grade RC cars, or remote control cars, are miniature versions of automobiles that you can control with a radio transmitter. The term “hobby grade” generally refers to RCs that are not toys, but rather more advanced vehicles designed to be used by hobbyists.

Hobby grade RCs typically feature higher-quality components than their toy-grade counterparts, such as better motors, batteries, and bodies. Hobbyists who own hobby grade RC cars often customize them with upgraded parts and accessories to make them faster and more powerful.

Hobby grade RC cars can be bought in either ready-to-run (RTR) or kit form. RTRs come pre-assembled with all the necessary components included in the package.

Most RTRs are entry level models that are suitable for beginners who want to learn how to drive an RC car without having to build one from scratch. Kits require assembly and usually come with detailed instructions on how to assemble the car correctly.

Hobby grade RC cars can be further broken down into two categories: electric and nitro (gasoline). Electric models use electric motors powered by rechargeable battery packs while nitro models use internal combustion engines powered by a mixture of gasoline and oil. Nitro models tend to be louder than electric models due to their combustion engines and require more maintenance than electric ones.

There is a huge variety of hobby grade RC cars available on the market today ranging from entry level models for beginners all the way up to advanced competition-level machines for experienced racers. They come in many different sizes, shapes, colors, and styles so everyone should be able to find an RC car that suits their needs.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, hobby grade RC cars are miniature versions of automobiles that are designed for use by hobbyists rather than just as toys. They typically feature higher quality components than their toy counterparts and can come in either ready-to-run or kit form depending on how much assembly is required.

Hobby grade RCs can also be divided into two categories – electric and nitro – which differ in terms of power source and maintenance requirements. There is a wide variety of hobby grade RCs available today so everyone should be able to find one that suits their needs.
