One of the least expensive ways to build your first radio-controlled car would be to buy a components kit, which includes just the radio and motors. At a craft store, these kits usually only cost $20 or $30. Always buy this kit before you begin actually building the car. This way you'll know ahead of time what size you need the car to be to hold the radio components and motors.

Once you have the components kit, the car can be built with a little bit of inexpensive wood, some glue, and lots and lots of time. You can go to your local hobby store or lumber yard to look for a lightweight wood, with which to build your car. When your wood has been chosen, all you need is some superglue or epoxy to hold the pieces together, and of course, lots and lots of time, as I mentioned before.

If you're not into the "do-it-all-from-scratch" approach, there are remote control car kits, which include all the components as well as the car. Unless you are a woodworking genius, this will probably give you a much nicer looking car when you're done, and these kits are fairly inexpensive. The advantage of building the car from scratch is that you will have complete control over what your car looks like, which you don't get when you work from a kit.

However you choose to build your car, it should be an enjoyable and rewarding experience for you. Your choice will depend on how much time, and courage you have.

I do have to caution you about one thing. If you try to race your kit built car against one of the more expensive and advanced cars, you will be left in their dust. There is simply no way your kit car will have the same power as one of the custom built cars. On top of which, it probably won't look as good either. Please don't allow either of these things to discourage you from your first effort. The important thing to remember is that once you have built your first car, you will have all that much more experience when it comes time to build the custom car of your dreams.

Buy building an inexpensive kit car as your first car, you will have a chance to see if you would really enjoy building radio controlled cars as a hobby. Even if you are someone like me, and like to run before you can walk, I would suggest you take it easy at first and stay with one of the inexpensive car kits.
