A RC car is a powered model car driven from a distance via a radio control system. Inputs from joysticks (or a wheel and a trigger) on a transmitter are sent to the RC Cars onboard receiver. The receiver interprets the radio signals and sends electrical pulses to the servos and/or electronic speed controller, making the model turn its wheels and the run the motor. RC Cars can range from simple "stop and go" toys to competitive racing models, which feature all the complexity and adjustability of their full-size counterparts. Building, driving, and modifying radio-controlled car kits are a popular hobby.

RC Cars are usually categorized as either "toy" or "hobby" grade. RC Cars are usually of one of two types: radio transmission or wire connecting. RC Cars are powered by various sources. Electric cars are powered by small but powerful electric motors and rechargeable nickel-cadmium, nickel metal hydride, or lithium polymer cells. There are also brushed or brushless electric motors. Most fuel-powered models use glow plug engines, small internal combustion engines fueled by a special mixture of nitromethane, methanol, and oil (in most cases a blend of castor oil and synthetic oil). These are referred to as "nitro" cars. Recently, exceptionally large models have been introduced that are powered by small gasoline engines, similar to weedwhacker motors, which use a mix of oil and gasoline. Electric RC Cars are generally considered easier for the novice to work with compared to fuel-driven models, but can be equally as complex at the higher budget and skill levels.
