FAQs for RC Car Kits - Build Your Own RC Car
A kit includes the unbuilt car — chassis, suspension, drivetrain, body and hardware. You supply your own motor, ESC, servo, transmitter, receiver, battery, charger, paint and glue. Always check the product listing for exactly what's included.
If you can follow instructions and use basic tools, you're fine. Most kits have clear step-by-step manuals. A typical 1/10 buggy takes 4-8 hours. It's a great way to learn how everything works and makes future maintenance much easier.
Kits are better if you want to choose your own electronics, learn the car inside-out and enjoy the build. RTR is better if you just want to drive. A well-built kit with quality electronics will usually outperform an RTR at the same price.
