Radio Controlled Vehicles: Hobby with Fun Guaranteed for Parents and Kids

Though it may not appear to be so, having kids nowadays is more of a challenge than before, having in mind exactly how pressed for time the lifestyle of modern people is. What this means is there isn’t always enough time for bonding while playing with your kids, and play is an important part of a child’s growth and development.

Luckily, there are still some hobbies parents can make up more time for to play with kids, as is the case with radio controlled vehicles. No matter the age, these vehicles offer a great deal of entertainment; first of all, they look exactly like cars, up to the smallest of details, then they go fast, they race, they turn, they trip – it all translates as fun, development of skills, and bonding time.

Besides, there are many different types of radio controlled vehicles to choose from in the first place, and deciding on the costs, whether to go for brushed or brushless models (tip: if it’s speed you want, go for brushless), electric, nitro or petrol can be a shared experience of parents and kids.

Though electric don’t require much maintenance or mechanical knowledge, it isn’t so with the other two options which opens up more chance for kids to learn what proper maintenance means.

Then again, the possibility with some vehicles is to build them up from scratch, others allow for customising with painting or decoration, so the fun equals a great deal of learning as well. Kids don’t only learn how to use the vehicles, the ways they can build them, and customise them, but they also learn mathematics and physics along the way without even being aware about it.

Another aspect adding to the benefit of using them is expanding the socialising skills, while at the same time the vocabulary as well. When many kids and parents participate, there’s the opportunity to form teams, discuss how to do the racing, how to avoid crashing, and which turns to make. Fun and learning can be shared, and that’s what makes this hobby even more interesting.

Let’s not forget, controlled vehicles don’t strictly confine us to entertainment at home, but they give us the chance to enjoy the outdoors as well; any large open space could do. If you think your kids aren’t having as much outdoor time as they should be, get the vehicles they love, head outdoors and race in the fresh air. How does a controlled vehicle race at the park by a lake or river sound? Fun guaranteed, that’s how!
