Whether you are an adult who is interested in getting started with a hobby on your own or you are interested in getting your child or grandchild interested in the hobby, RC cars have been fun for many generations.

The first RC cars were actually introduced in the 1960s. The cars that were marketed during that time were much different than the cars that we are familiar with today, but at the time they were wildly popular because the public had never seen anything like them.

The 1970s was truly a decade of change for RC cars. At the beginning of the decade, Mardave started to manufacture RC cars. It did not take long for multiple companies in the United States to begin producing RC cars as well. It was at this time that the first 1/8 nitro powered RC car kits were produced. The most popular of all of these RC cars was the K&B Veco McCoy. As time went on, manufacturers experimented with a variety of different types of RC cars as well as suspension systems, engines and fuel tanks.

1976 is considered to be the golden year for RC cars. It was at this time that a Japanese company called Tamiya began to produce RC cars. Before that Tamiya had very detailed mini rc cars models. The earlier RC Cars made by Tamiya were very expensive, yet very popular.

The early Tamiya models have since gone on to become collector’s items. At this time, this model can go cost well over $2,000 and more. Tamiya started to release some of their older and very popular models. Those models sold out just as quickly as the original models.
