Making correct choices, up front, can save you a lot of time and money down road. Take a few minutes to read this helpful article so you can start out in right direction.

First, it is important to determine who will be primary user of cars. This will help ensure that you don't start off with a car that is far beyond child's ability to operate.

Choosing right starter radio control car can often mean difference between building a long-lasting family hobby, or having one more piece of plastic ending up in toy box.

If intended user is a young child, say under 13, then you might be better off purchasing relatively inexpensive mini radio control cars that run on batteries. Not only are they inexpensive (often selling for under $20), but they are safe to operate in that they use no flamable gas and they include a low-voltage battery charger.

If an adult or older child will be using radio control cars, then you have a much wider selection to choose from. Of course, mini cars are fun for all ages, but there are also larger all-electronic cars as well as beefy gas-powered vehicles, and even Nitro powered monsters!

Consider these 10 points before getting started.

1. When planning your office make sure there is sufficient power close to where you plan to put your desk. It is possible to have power points right at your desk if there are computer components that are only used occasionally.

2. Use a species of wood that is going to be able to resist heavy weight of computer components. A hardwood species such as Oak or Maple will provide strength needed to resist these forces.

3. Using right species of wood will resist weight of computer components but joinery used should also provide maximum gluing surface area and thus maximum strength. Joints like dado's for carcase, dovetails or finger joints for drawers and mortise and tenons for any end grain to side grain connections.
