Default Need All your help with future setup [Beginner]

Hello everyone, my name is George, i'm 20 and i'm from México! Awesome community here and extremely big! I feel relieved to have found you guys, i've been breaking my head trying to find more information about this whole new RC world.

I got really interested in all this when i saw a RC track in a mall here in México and really was impressed with their whole setup.

It was something like this,

They had kind of a command center, and a big track, but there are some things i still don't have clear, they had around 7 Rc controllers ready to play, but this ones had a wire that went through the track and somewhere below the track, the cars were around 20cms in size and it seemed they could control almost everything from their command center which had a screen and kind of a mixer like the ones you see for mixing channels of audio etc.

What kind of setup is that? How can i find something similar to that? RC that have wires? im confused.

Now onto my next questions, i liked the idea and then saw this and loved it, and want to do it to play with my family, etc. Let me show you,




As you can see this setup is kinda similar, the controllers have wires that go connected somewhere but also they have steering wheels, i would love if you guys could point me in the direction of how to make something similar to that, will be around in case you guys have an idea, thanks so much!!!

-George

Why do you want go through the hassle of ginormous controllers hooked up to a transmitter? Just use a pistol grip transmitter that fits in your hand, and be done with it. Much more cost-effective, and won't have to be lugging around such BIG controllers. I just cant wrap my head around it unless you plan on having stationary controllers.

Because it seems a lot cooler to have those stations to play in reunions etc, but you are right they aren't cost-effective.

So how do they work anyway?

Hey George, welcome! I gotta say, that's one of the funniest RC ideas I've seen in a while! 😊 RC football, lol! And the cars are shoes! Ha! Does look like fun.

How it works? I've no idea. It has to be more complex than your average RC. But setting up a similar football game with hobby grade RCs could set you back a lot of dinero. At least $100 a car.
