Pop-Up RC car track for events and parties

Parents booking birthday parties, schools and community groups, market and festival organisers, and companies planning team events.

A flat fee per event or hourly rate for set-up, supervision and car hire, or a per-turn charge at public events.

• Setting up and running a safe, fun activity
• Basic RC car maintenance
• Friendly with children and event organisers

• Commercial general liability insurance that covers events, and any extra cover venues ask for
• Permission from venues, and municipal permits if you set up on public land, check with your municipality
• Safe charging, storage and transport of lithium batteries in your vehicle
• Waivers and supervision of young children around fast cars
• Weather and winter: outdoor events slow down, so aim for indoor venues in colder months
• A vehicle or trailer big enough to carry the track

Estimates for this idea are typically around $3,000 to $12,000 to start, depending on the size of your modular track, how many hire cars you buy and the vehicle or trailer you need to carry it all.

Estimates suggest monthly revenue of typically around $1,000 to $5,000, depending on how many parties, fairs and events you book. That is revenue, not profit. Outdoor events slow in winter, so indoor venues are worth aiming for.

Check that your commercial general liability insurance covers events and any extra cover venues ask for. Also check venue permission, municipal permits for public land, safe lithium battery charging and transport, and waivers and supervision around young children.
