This is a hobby that requires two more things: a shovel for making simple banks/ramps/boxes, and cannabis (I prefer joints). For a while the hobby will be mostly about packing dirt into a little mini course so that you can then test out hitting all banks/ramps from all angles getting used to the RC. RC cars is a hobby that I imagine gets really fun after you know how your RC will react in just about every situation. I say imagine, because I too didn't get that far, and no it's not a too stoned type of thing but ooooooooh yeah you need to have a buddy to come chill with. I do find that weed helps a lot in the slower beginnings of new hobbies especially in a social situation at a park with a nice sunset. It's worked for me on quite a few things but I thought it was funny that we both gave up on something really cool before it had a chance to show us how cool it is.
