when playing with a remote control car for kids, what should you be careful about?

what following rules or caution shuold you be aware of.. What ages do people play with remote control cars? And how much are they in US?

age range is about 9-45 yrs old. that's right, 45. children play with the toy versions that usually use ir, (infrared), and the sun can mess with the ir signals. older kids are into xmods, hpi racing, traxxas, schumacher, etc.

ir r/c toy cars: 15-35 dollars; for 9-13 yrs old
xmods, hpi racing, traxxas, schumacher: 50-400 dollars; for 13-45 yrs old

when playing outside, watch out for cars and make sure no one else is using your frequency. when playing inside, look out for other people inside the house.

I hope this was helpful.

Well for one thing don't run it on carpet. The static electricity can kill it. Or at least that's what I was told. Could be wrong though.
