DIY Upgrades to Custom Builds

DIY Upgrades to Custom Builds

We help you go from “I fixed it myself!” to “This is my dream RC.”

On the Test Driver RC channel, we test everything ourselves: stock cars, upgraded toy-grade machines, and wild custom builds. That real-world experience goes straight into every project we take on.

This is where your RC journey levels up.

  • Loved your first upgrade and want more speed or durability?

  • Have a specific vision (crawler, basher, drifter, scale rig)?

  • Want us to handle the full build while you watch the process on video?

We turn your ideas into tough, high-performance machines that are fully tested before they leave the shop.

Ready to take it further? Submit your custom project below and let’s build something awesome together.

Why We Exist

Turn every kid into a confident Test Driver who isn’t afraid to experiment, learn, and push their RC to the limit.

For FUN!

Keep the RC community alive and growing by making the hobby more accessible, fun, and skill-based instead of “buy new, break, repeat.”
