Baja RC Buggy, Trucks

There are really two different types of Baja RC lovers. First, you’ve got the guys with a whole lot of money and not a lot of time or technical know how. They usually have a huge collection of Baja RCs, but few of them are really all that impressive. Even so, these are good guys to be buddies with as they’re always looking for someone to race them in their backyard dirt track. Second, you have the average Baja RC buff who owns one or two rigs and spends a lot of time customizing and tweaking them to perfection.

Which category you fall into depends on, well, how much money you make in a year! But in all seriousness, if you really want to get the most out of your Baja RC, here’s what you want to do.

Study Baja RC Science

You don’t need to have a doctorate in engineering, technology and design, but you should have a sincere passion for the sciences that go into Baja RC design and customization. If you don’t at least have an interest in this stuff, then you may as well just leave your Baja RC as it came out of the box.

Much of the research, in fact, the majority of it, has already been done for you. You don’t need to understand every single aspect of the science of electric motors and cars and so on, just enough that you’ll know what you need to improve your car’s performance. For example, bigger wheels means more traction, but they also mean more weight, so you have to know when the tradeoff is worth it.

It’s all about control and speed, and customization is about mastering these factors.

Read Up on Baja RC

Get your hands on newsletters and magazines, bookmark some hot websites and so on. The more you know about the RC world, the tighter control you have over your RC experience. You may not have the money to be buying every new product, part and rig that comes out, but you can at least know what’s going on so that you can come up with some ideas of your own to customize your rig.

You want to subscribe to a magazine or two so that you can also know about what sort of competitions there are out there. Even if you’re just a part time Baja RC buff, there are still a few good reasons to go ahead and try your hand at the world of competitive remote control car racing with your customized Baja RC.

Try Your Hand at Competition

It’s not like there are many people who make a living solely on winning Baja RC races, but you can always land a sponsor, which will allow you to essentially practice your RC hobby at no expense to yourself. If you have a few sponsors footing the bill, you’ll be more willing to try some new parts, to try some new experiments with your RC and really customize it to its maximum potential. A sponsor does, in fact, want you to actually win a race now and then after all, so they’re typically happy to help out a little.
