RE: Would anyone hire an r/c car?
They do this already. Portable tracks and all. Usually has a 14" wheel attached to a podium, but the cars tend to be race quality cars and fully proportional.

The volume just isn't there to make such a thing work. This isn't like some of the other sports where money can be made from renting gear. For rental to work, there needs to be a 'common' or 'normal' interest in the sport/hobby/game and RC just doesn't have it. The specifics are also too hard to manage, just not worth the cost. The potential for damage is simply too high, having to collect a full deposit (or a credit card and signed contract) for loss or non-return, etc. it is just too much work for a meager payment. A shop ends up competing with the low-end used market as well as it's own repair services (which can be very lucrative), it's just bad business.
Now instead of straight rental where the customer takes possession of the item for a period, there may be something to be said for, say, use at an amusement park in an enclosed race area. For instance where a contender pays a fee to participate in a race at a fair or amusement park, never actually touches the truck, only takes possession of the controller for the duration of the race (the controller is probably secured to the booth anyways). And the winner of the race gets some credits or some prize typical of those 'fairs'. Not unlike the other games offered at fairs. But again, this would need to be a new type of event, something that was built up no differently from the ring toss or gun shoot, axe/dart throw, or other events you typically have at those fairs.

RE: Would anyone hire an r/c car?
one of the three LHS's here is more of an indoor track than anything else, he rents out the losi short course trucks for use on the track, He is still getting things worked out with the logistics of the whole thing, but it seems like it might be something entertaining to do, lol rent one of the house units and tear up the track with it, as long as its a fairly controlled situation it could potentially work.. He has RTR kits for sale if you dont wish to use the house equipment, track fees 5$ an hour or 10 for the day ( not sure if this is final ) the track looks to be well set up... i havent had a chance to run on it yet.. though tracks and bashers dont generally seem to get along well ..

i could see it working. if someone wanted to buy say a nitro mt they could rent a tmaxx and a savage to run in the designated area to deside wich fits him/her best. if you have a designated area and a reasonable cost ($20-$50) for a day plus running costs (battery packs or fuel) then it would work.

What about renting r/c's out to customers who will be driving them in public places of their own choice? Could that work?

it could, but there are alot of risks with that. if you got a deposit or credit card info then it should work without much risk of theft. offer an aditional insurance so they get a replacement if the first one breaks. pricing is the hardest part.

RE: Would anyone hire an r/c car?
For a small fee, I'd be wiling to drive anybody's shelf queen. Just sitting there, they may corrode and seize up, so a good run would do them good. Now I'm not a very good driver, but I promise to be careful, not go very fast and only do small jumps.
In addition to the fee, Shelf Queen Owner's will have to make a deposit to cover parts and my time for repairs in case I wreck the vehicle.
Addtional fess will be required if I have to use my own fuel.
hehehehehe....
OK.....seriously, the chance of damage is too high to allow RCs to be rented out. And as mentioned above, even experienced driver's who want to try a vehicle they are thinking of purchasing results in the hobby shop owner winding up with a "used" vehicle of low value. And think if an engine was blown up? There'd be a big arguement about who was at fault there. Was it revved too high when in the air, or was it a faulty or worn out engine?
All in all a good thought.....Flatout may turn out to be quite the entrepeneur one day.

RE: Would anyone hire an r/c car?
Dude.. If I rented a RC no lie id launch that thing as far and high as possible.. I dont want to break mine.. so why not rent yours and bring it back in a shoe box????
Bad idea man... And If you charged a deposit that cost the same amount of money as the car then youll never have any customers..

A truck that retails for $180. or so, the shop owner gets it for from his distributor at maybe $100-$120. If instead of selling it to the customer and making an instant and fixed amount of profit, he breaks it open and decides to rent it out, what price and how many times does he have to rent it out to even break even? To make a profit? And then the time cost, since with a straight sale the retailer makes the profit right then, the rental makes a profit only over time. Too many problems to think about IMO.

Does he make a profit though?

And being as your rc "experience" is limited to a boomerang, at least enough to brag about it,I would guess you do not.

Wrong. I'm on my 12th r/c. How is this "limited" ? In addition, I own a profitable vehicle detailing business which I started at the beginning of this global recession/depression and has since gone from strength to strength. Don't try and teach me how to suck eggs

I'll send out my assistant to run the audi down so you can give it a quick wash and shine; don't forget to clean the ashtray this time.
