Top 5 Reasons why Traxxas Radio Control is the Best Hobby
What better way to start off a brand-new year than by devoting the first month to hobbies? January is National Hobby Month, and we’re thankful for all of you who make hobby time Traxxas time. And for anyone reading who hasn’t yet joined the countless ranks of Traxxas radio-control car enthusiasts world-wide, there’s no time like the present! The RC car hobby is even more fun than it looks, and we’re sure you agree, it looks like a LOT of fun. But a little extra convincing can’t hurt! Here are five big reasons why RC is the greatest hobby ever. Get started with Traxxas today!
1. It’s Easy and Inexpensive to Get Started
Did you know you can get started in radio control with a 30+mph buggy, stadium truck, short-course truck, or monster truck in big 1/10 scale size for under $250? And that’s with a battery and charger included! You could even add a spare battery or two and still be well under the cost of the latest video game consoles. And we’re not talking about stripped-down models here—the Bandit, Slash, Rustler, and Stampede all feature rugged metal-gear transmissions, independent suspension with oil-filled Ultra Shocks, waterproof electronics, and Training Mode for beginner drivers. Each arrives fully assembled and Ready-to-Race®, with no painting or finishing required. There’s no easier, more affordable way to get started in hobby-quality radio control with a model you can enjoy and grow with for years to come.

2. Outdoor Fun Year ‘Round
We could all use more time outside and less time looking at screens, and an afternoon of RC fun is like a stealth workout—you won’t be thinking about all the steps you’re putting in as you follow your car or truck wherever the action takes you, but expect to be good and hungry come dinner time. Waterproof electronics means Traxxas RC excitement doesn’t slow down for rain or snow, so you can enjoy high-performance radio control all year. Traxxas season runs from January to December! And as the big challenge of 2020 continues into 2021, the RC car hobby shines as an exciting, family-friendly activity you can do with friends without having to get close. Staying safe doesn’t hinder RC fun.

3. Have It Your Way
Customizing a full-size car requires a whole bunch of garage space, skill, and cash. But with Traxxas, you can build your ultimate dream machine in radio control without breaking the bank—and do it at the kitchen table.

Boost speed and power with a brushless power system, go sky-high with tall tires and a lift kit, chase the night with LED lights, even transform your car or truck with a completely different body you paint yourself—the creative opportunities are limitless.

4. Jump In With an Assembled Model—or Build Your Own.
Most RC hobbyists get started with a fully-assembled model, and no one builds them better than Traxxas. But if you like the idea of building your model from the ground up, Traxxas offers that experience too. The best-selling, award-winning Slash short-course truck, Stampede 4X4 monster truck, and TRX-4 Sport trail truck are available as kits. Full-color, step-by-step instruction manuals make assembly easy and fun for anyone, even if you think you’re “not mechanically inclined.” Even painting is easy—the clear bodies get sprayed on the inside, leaving a high-gloss finish on the outside. Building a Traxxas kit is a rewarding, relaxing DIY experience, ideal for filling a few laid-back evenings or a rainy weekend. When you’re done, you’ll be proud to say you built it yourself, and you’ll know your new RC machine inside and out.

5. Stimulating STEM Stuff
Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math are baked into the RC car hobby (kids, that’s a great line for Mom and Dad). Whether you build your own Traxxas model from a kit or get started with a Ready-To-Run car or truck, you’ll find yourself learning all about basic mechanical principles and the science and technology of full-size vehicles—without even trying. Traxxas RC is all about excitement and fun, there’s no homework and you’ll never get a pop quiz. But you can learn a lot!
