Is Having A Radio Controlled Hobby Expensive?

by skraps

It can be hugely expensive if you are fanatical about having the best radio controlled car, tanks, plane, boat or whatever.
Especially if you opt for the unbuilt versions and go down the road of building these for yourself from scratch.
Now I don't want to step on anyones toes but where is the fun in that? For me getting the RC car, boat or whatever up and running is the main aim, so opting for self built models just made sense to me.
Problem is though...the price doesn't differ much and the accessories can add up too.
Most of my time spent online searching RC stores was a fruitless excercise because many of the stores were either based outside the UK (where I live) or only stocked toy versions when I wanted the pro stuff.
Then I stumbled across a few very good thorough forums and articles (like this) that pointed me in the right direction. Therefore it is for that reason solely that I wanted to write something to help others looking (as I was) to buy their first radio controlled car.
Stop your search now because I have found a site that offers beginner level entry RC machines as well as nitro and petrol versions for the more advanced RC fan.
Do not waste your cash on toy RC helicopters that only go up or toy radio controlled cars that only go forward - get the real thing for half the price and get consumed in the RC world like I have :)
