January Is National Hobby Month!
Discover Why a Traxxas RC Should be Your Next Hobby
If you’re like most Traxxas fans, every month is hobby month at your house. But the official, national hobby month is January, and if you’re not already a radio-control car hobbyist, a great time to get started is right now. It’s never been easier to jump into the world of hobby-quality radio control, and the bang-for-your-buck ratio has never been higher when it comes to performance, realism, and durability. Radio-control is an exciting, rewarding hobby that can deliver years of enjoyment, learning, and fun for all ages. Here’s why Traxxas radio control is a fantastic hobby that you should make part of your life.
No Stress
Driving RC models is a great stress reliever. When you’re behind the wheel of a Traxxas, all of your focus is on steering, throttle, the terrain ahead, and having fun. Everything else just melts away. Traxxas makes it easy for anyone to learn how to drive an RC model, and it only takes a few minutes to feel comfortable at the controls—but you’ll always feel there’s more to master. With Traxxas radio control, there are always new challenges because you challenge yourself. Can you jump higher, go faster, drive farther? You may only be in your backyard, but the stresses of the real world will be miles away.

It’s impossible to think about school or work when you’re having this kind of fun! A Hobby for the Great Outdoors
Radio control is actually good exercise, who knew? In a world of screens, just getting outside into actual sunlight can be a huge boost to your physical and mental well-being. We can all use more Vitamin D! In addition to encouraging more outdoor time, you’ll get plenty of steps into your favorite health app as you scout out new terrain challenges and follow your RC machine on new adventures. It won’t feel like a workout as those calories are burning, but don’t be surprised if regular RC driving sessions move your belt buckle in by a hole or two and put an extra pep in your step.

The radio control hobby isn’t just about the time you spend driving. Maintaining your model may only require a few minutes now and then, but many RC hobbyists enjoy lavishing hours on their cars and trucks to hone their performance, personalize their styling, and even build completely custom machines. All the hot-rodding you could ever want to do on a full-size car in a dream garage can be accomplished at the kitchen table. Traxxas models have waterproof electronics that let you drive even in rain, snow and other wet conditions, but if you’d rather be inside, there’s still plenty of hobby fun to be had indoors, maintaining and customizing your models.

Traxxas offers a huge array of parts and accessories to customize every model.Discover Your Secret Skills
You don’t need to be a mechanical mastermind to enjoy Traxxas radio control. All Traxxas models are available “ready to run,” factory-assembled with all required equipment installed. But don’t be surprised if you have a newfound appreciation for how a full-size shock absorber functions, or how a transmission works, or you discover the rewards of taking things apart and putting them back together—even if you never believed you were “mechanically inclined.” The radio control hobby is a great entry to STEM skills while providing hours and hours of fun and relaxation. Some models are also offered as assembly kits!
