A pre-requisite 8hr charging leads one to about 1 hour of utter bliss if you are a 4x4 fanatic.
Growing up around farms and jeeps gets you addicted to jeeps and their utilitarian purpose in a very deep sense. In a farm a jeep is a total work-horse, in the city its a style statement. Showing up to a venue is a car thats dirty is considered as a sign of laziness, but show up in a 4x4 is considered as a sign of being macho or as an outdoorsman.
4x4 is an expensive and adventurous sport. The fact that if you cannot spend too much on getting advised its better you start learning how the mechanisms work and try to do the repairs yourself. Well post that, there is another option for enjoying the fun of 4x4 and not spending a bomb on the repairs if you are careful, the art of RC 4x4!
4x4 as a hobby has become a new fad with a lot of people taking this up and not wanting to burn a hole in their pockets. All said and done this is a inexpensive hobby compared to the actual sport of 4x4 but expensive when it comes to the realm of RC hobbies.
When we are growing up the affluent kids had cars that were radio controlled and the middle class had cars that were remote controlled but attached by a wire from the car to the remote. The allure of getting the former was utmost in every kids mind. Now with the advent of globalisation we are getting a toy that has given rise to a hobby that not only teaches but also lets you enjoy the thrills of going off road.
How you ask? Well the toy works very much like the actual jeep with suspensions and drive motors. The axles and the drive shaft makes you understand the actual working of a jeep which you otherwise won’t be able to look under an actual jeep. A radio controlled car will allow you to do the same stuff that you can do with an actual jeep but in a smaller version. So little pebbles for cars are big boulders for the RC 4x4. This will let you know all the articulation of the suspension for the RC 4x4.
So getting the RC to climb a heap of stones will give you the feel of actually crawling up a mountain getting the thrill of it but not in danger of any bodily harm.
