JOIN THE Fun

Glasgow RC Club – A Community of RC Car Enthusiasts

We are a friendly, non-profit community group who race electric powered radio controlled 1/10th off-road buggies and trucks in the Glasgow area.

RC racing or remote control car racing is an amazing hobby! Mechanical skills, engineering, mental strength, concentration. It’s a great family hobby, it’s safe, it’s the cheapest form of motorsport, you can travel all over the world racing RC cars. You can do it as a hobby or even as a fully professional driver! It’s great fun.

Glasgow RC Club are a local community group of like-minded volunteers.  Our aim is to promote electric powered off-road model car racing, to arrange meetings in order to publicise and further the interests of the sport, to provide facilities for the local community benefit and to those further afield.  The hobby is fun and inclusive – there are no barriers to age, gender, or physical ability – everyone and anyone can race RC cars.  It’s something that can be done as a family.   Its a great way to have fun outdoors, to learn new skills and make friends.

How do I learn more?

If you are new to the hobby and are interested in finding out more, there is lots of information on this site. Sometimes it’s easier to get in touch, pop down and say hello, as our members will be keen to show their pride and joy, and will explain some things about the cars.  The club also have some demo cars for anyone thinking of taking up the hobby, but these must be booked in advance, as we don’t keep them onsite.  These can be booked for 5 or 10 minutes for a quick try, or you can book one for the whole race day!

Upcoming Events

We run at the track on most Sundays outdoors at our track between March and mid October. You can find our events calendar here – https://glasgowrc.com/calendar/

We hold regular social nights at the East Kilbride Sports Club building mostly on a Wednesday evening, especially when the weather or lack of light means we have to stop running on the track.  Social nights can be an excellent way of learning and a place where you can ask questions about anything RC related.  Subjects often include what to buy,  car setup, driving techniques and many more!
