Since i was young i have been a fan of anything remote controlled. I want to start a club in the middle of nowhere here. I have land enough to host a few dirt car tracks, drift tracks, runways, and drone hoops.
I want people to come and play for free.
I was considering being closed on weekends but selling time by the hour for clubs or whatever.
How the fuck else can i afford to keep this free or maybe even profit?
Advertising of some sort? I could make a billboard as my home is on a highway but the wife will probably throw a fit. If things take off i am building boat tracks and a battlebot cage.
On second thought a bunch of autists playing bumper drones might be a bad idea.
Land and sea then. No air.

I like the idea and plan to have a rock climbing gym that is free for the hardcore enthusiasts because our city doesn't have one
Owen Cooper
Shit son. Forgot r/c rock climbing.
As far as your deal tho. user look into asset protection HARD. Get a GOOD cpa and attorney. If you are in burgerland anyway. Everyone wa ta a hand out and a place where people can get hurt is a huge liability.
If u get your shit together tho i do wish u luck bro

Market it to groups like schools, churches, youth groups, summer camps, country clubs at a large group rate. Include some education component about the electrical engineering or some bullshit behind the cars. Offer to sell cars at a huge markup for the extra needs/rich kids. Sell t shirts, hats, water bottles, lanyards
Luis Parker

Benjamin Wright
absolutely. I've talked with a few consultants for a rock climbing gym back when I wanted to build one for profit. After analyzing local traffic and pricing models I realized that I couldn't make the gym I wanted without it turning into a kids rope course for tourists. That's not a compromise that I'm willing to make, so I'm going to reapproach it with "fuck you" money and build it right. I'm prepared for insurance specced safety and waivers.
I like other user's idea about marketing to schools. You could probably find a safe way to make it an after school program.
I bet that you could even leverage teaching the kids how to maintain the vehicles
Josiah Thomas
Sheiiiiiit. This user knows whats up. There's not shit around here but i can market to neighboring towns. Been looking into shirt press and vinyl plotter anyway. Male my owh hats, koozies, stickers, shirts, etc... spend a little time and make even more money with less markup?
Some of the most fun i had as a kid was watching some planes guys fly and a pvc pipe track set up on a tenis court.
From walmart teir bullshit i was in awe. Dudes having a whole truckload of tools and parts and cars. Shit was awesome.
If i can profit from giving other kids and adults that same experience free or affordable then i will die a happy man.
/biz, i left yall a very long time ago because of the shitcoin screeching bullshit. But i am glad i came to visit. Been dreaming about this shot off and on most of my life. And in a few minutes i found multiple new revenue streams.
Average IQ on Jow Forums is around 115. 130 IQ is like 5% of the population (or less) and it's probably as high as 15% on some boards.
Jow Forums is the best thing in my life for all of the good that it's done for me. No lie

You got a good story and a good mission. That's unironically half the way to success. Don't give up on it
Kayden Turner
add birthday parties to this list. Parents will gladly pay big dough for someone else to facilitate an awesome party for their kids
John Jenkins
KEK post of the day. Anyhoo, I would slap on my 1920s fedora and bet on the sides, stubs and cigar to boot, if you're a decent fella and invest in some bleachers for the ole rump, johnny boy
Noah Williams
I imagine your business would be modeled similar to how a laser tag type of business operates. Maybe try to look up some successful ones of those and see what you could learn
Gabriel Scott
Honestly, me too maybe.
Joseph Roberts
I won't. I wanted to start a battlebots club because i aint flying to fucking comeifornia.
I even built an automated lawn mower and was going to be on tv for it but told them no.
I advertised locallt 8nstead of building 2 and really advertising.
I may start with a promo vid and see where it goes.
Benjamin Perry
This just keeps getting better.
My wife is considering quitting her job to be a party / wedding reception planner.
She's done like 25 and its a hit every damned time.
I work a shitty job that i jate and this may actually be a fun hobby we can make a living from.
Noah Powell
>bleachers.
Ffs.
RC mud runs come to mind now. I got bros with almost 50k in a blown 572 that may scatter at any second. Most of us all got kids now and the women and public hate fun so hardly any get a go cart to roll over or race.
Maybe the kids want rc mud buggies that look just like dads?
there am a guy on my street who always driving these things around kek
the funny thing he does it early in the morning and the RC cars are all tricked out with lights whats funny about that am he slows down the wagies on their way to work because they have to stop for the blinding flashing RC cars
Hilarious... i would give the faggot a pass or two and then just casually run over the fucking welfare car i bout.
Kys tripcunt.
>im a gril.
He is THIS desperate for attention
Justin Bennett

Jaxson Lee

Ian Bailey
I would but i think betting is illegal here.
I'll call my lawyer i guess
David Johnson
Be neighborly and ask to join sometime ! Sure they would be happy to share their fun
Levi Sanders
I traded a ps1 for an old brushed nickel batteried car. Some of the kost fun i ever had.
Not sure why i gave it up. Shit is cheap these days. Im buying more shit
Brayden Collins
This. Or get your own and break it out with them
Ryder Anderson
Sounds awesome dude, you should stream the events
Matthew King

Supreme court recently ruled sports betting is not illegal. Up to individual state to regulate

The RC track in my hometown was a joint venture between the RC club and the Parks Department. It saved the club from the expense of land ownership/development, of course all improvements to the property (drivers stand, restrooms etc.) were provided by the club. What you will come to find out is the RC community is tight-knit and many of the racers will gladly volunteer time and skills to improve the park just to have an area to race. 1/8 scale off-road if that matters to you.
Landon Martinez
You're talking about doing it in the middle of nowhere, but I could honestly see it being not a bad date night experience in a city. Have a facility, big ass interesting tracks, elevated viewing area, bar for parents and for 20 somethings, arcade, extra activities not to be found elsewhere, good for families, good for enthusiasts, good for dates. Hipsters would actually eat that shit up.
Joshua Bell
>a new revenue streem appears.
Just fyi o gambled thinking 95% i would just get shilled at or told i was a stupid fuck.
"Just building a goffy track" may not pay but all of this shit together might make it viable.
I will start hosting on weekends, have open track do wtf yall want during to week to keep holes filled and grass out, and do real shit on the weekends to start.
I am fortunate enough i can fuckoff at work and host a Telegram group or emails on mobile to get feedback.
Even if i lose money i will be moving foward. Been so stressed and pissed off lately this will be therapeutic if all i do is thrash in my own shit.
Julian Cook
I use pic related weekly. That would be funny as shit user! Have a soft foam guard on the front with a go pro and an fpv cam.
Toss on some goggles when i see a group of people there that won't get pissed (small town here i know all the locals.)
Come flying dick out of the wilderness, snatch up a car, and just take the fuck off.
Fly bnb or drive out of sight and then bring it right back from thebother direction and gently drop it off.
Then just leave and laugh my ass off.
My shitty attempt at a battlebot mower is all i have so far, but i learned a lot.
Lawny was a cock to build. Harder to operate. And 45 times more dangerous then i first pictured.
Still fun as fuck and affordable. Sabertooth 32 amp controller, dxi6 renote like 2 people i saw on battlebots, and a junk wheelchair
And kansas will jerk its dick until its the 45th state.
I saw that but i didnt know who the fuck made the rules.
Samuel Rogers
You mean Boomer Bill? I am 35 and the first memory i have of "real" cars had nickle batteries, and a servo to run the dimmer switch plate like the old golf carts. Like 6 contacts of increased voltage for fast and slow. My beloved first car spontaneously burst into flams and launched down a pasture. It tool 7 hours to put it bnb out and pissed off my cousins neighbors until they saw me sitting in the driveway writting apology notes in the driveway next to the front half of a melted car.
I actually repaid my debts by talking with a few anons my age like an AA meting. They were all in trouble for burning shit and i told them how bad i fucked up and how lucky people didn't die and shit.
That's why i havent had a car for 20 years.
Either way tho. Glass blowing, tapestry, blacksmithing, etc is all old school work and hobbies.
I mean, ffs. not trying to start any fight at all so please nobody flip shit. But it has been written that Jesus was a carpenter. I was a carpenter.
Jason White
Any and all input matters bro. Especially when i am being shit on from every percieved angle simultaneously right now.
Another fond memory and the reason i got the dx6i transmitter was because of the training cord plug.
I grew up fairly poor. Fortunately was never without, but if i couldn't work or trade for shit that i wanted i just quietly watched others play with it and daydreamed about when i can have it. Buying a ninka turtle van next month and building a display case for it. Idgaf
Anyway my buddy had a bunch of rc planes and spent 3 years trying to get me to fly one. The thing i wanted to do most in life was fly one but i always said no and acted like i didn't care about any of it. I would borrow all of his paperwork that came with them and told my bro i needed to study learning some of the bigger words. Really i just memorized every screw in every plane he had.
Anyway we went out to fly one day. Hin and his uncle had a big plan. I guess i got found out somehow.
They started flying and kicking the trainer remote off and on. Theybtried to get me to do it and like normal i politely said no.
My buddy gets all excited and laughs as his uncle brings a plane we could barely see from the sky to a fiery crash 20 feet from us.
Dude looks at me ams says, "user, you can see how much we don't care. I'll lift off, you fly the plane while i talk you through it, and if you fuck up i oush this button and put the plane right back. That's why this cord exists."
Flew like a 1 winged plane piloted by a junkie higher than the stratosphere but i never had so much fun
Thank u.

>parking gsrage roof tops on slow days. Not a bad idea user. It's just that i am busy af. Work overtime, and am a 1 hour trip from a walmart.
However, i have a fb group with 30,000 otr truck drivers and plan on making a big lot for parking. Have vending machines, free water, and bathrooms. Could tie them together maybe. They come from all over burgerland and beyone. People say word of mouth is the best advertisement.
Hell, the guy that started it is a good bro i never met irl. Could put a leaderboard or a bigass advertisement sign up. "Say user sent you" for a job interview or work and get $10 cash. Pay for it myself while helping him grow and my own customer base
