About Take The Wheel RC

Take The Wheel RC began in 2026 as a small Earth Day elementary school project with my two sons. What started as a simple idea— ”upcycling” recyclable materials and repurposing items destined for the landfill, combined with our shared love of dioramas and remote-controlled cars—quickly grew into something much bigger: a hands-on business built around creativity, sustainability, and fun.

From the beginning, the goal was simple: build something exciting without wasting materials—and prove that “junk” can become something incredible.

“As a hobbyist and tinkerer with a background in Automotive & Diesel Industrial Technology, a degree and certifications in Business Administration and Information Technology, I’ve always enjoyed figuring out how things work and teaching others to do the same. I’ve enjoyed 10 years working in IT and education, developing a broad mix of technical, business, and hands-on experience. That interest naturally carried over into teaching my kids—helping them build computers, use tools, and understand the technology around them.”
“Eventually, that turned into building, modifying, and experimenting with one of their favorite things: remote-controlled cars.

Take the Wheel RC became a way to introduce kids and families to problem-solving, mechanics, electronics, and real-world STEM concepts in a way that feels less like a textbook lesson and more like a fun game.”
