RC-resources.com (http://www.rc-resources.com) has tons of hand-picked links to resources and some beginner articles, still new but changing daily.

use the search function on this site, because every beginner question has been answered over the years. Keep in mind some articles are VERY basic and some may be a little outdated. So look at the date of the article too. I mean some might say "when brushless motors are available............"

You all know what I'm talking about. Just a heads up. By the way, I used to work at a LHS up until last year that had books showing "here's mario andretti getting ready to run his R/c car" and Mario is like 30 years old. Good stuff for the old people, which isn't me. Retro stuff is cool to look at atleast. Now you wont find stuff THAT old on the internet I hope!!

This site is good for the beginner and experienced hobbist if you need answers to any question you have post it. The only thing that's makes answering your questions easier is to provide a little background information, on products you are using or what your intended use will be, try to be specific. There are also links to an articles section and you can view past editions of the RCCA magazine or view the Vehicles sections for posts on a specific vehicle.
Some of the major RC Manufacturers have information available with links to other manufacturers and personal websites so those can offer the beginner or experience person some insight. Then there are sights dedicated to a specific form or RC racing and those can be very useful.
