Frequently Asked Questions

What else do I need to complete an RC Car kit?

Most kits come with the plastic parts and instructions, but you’ll also need a few essentials: plastic cement or glue, sprue cutters, a hobby knife, paints, and brushes. Some kits may also recommend primer or decals for a professional finish.

Why would I choose a kit?

RC Car kits are rewarding because they combine building, painting, and displaying into one hobby. You get creative control over details, colours, and weathering, while also learning useful modelling skills. Kits are also cost-effective compared to fully finished models.

I see Tamiya is still making their old kits?

Yes! Tamiya continues to produce many of its classic RC Car kits alongside new releases. These older kits remain popular with collectors and builders because they’re reliable, affordable, and nostalgic, while still offering quality parts and straightforward builds.
