We all know by now that RC builders are a subculture all their own but until the day when there’s a reality show featuring the best of the best radio controlled devices we’ve got to find something else to watch on our Direct.tv channels. If you love RC, here are a few of the shows we think you’ll like best…
Extreme Engineering: Discovery hit a home run with this program back in the early 2000s and you can catch new and rerun episodes to this day. Learn how suspension bridges are built and how to fix a radiator…it’s all here on what we think of as the best engineering show on TV.
Design Squad: The title sounds like you’re going to be watching interior decorators hash it out but in reality the design squads are teams of high school students competing to build the best robots and other remote-controlled pieces around. Dramatic and interesting and you may learn something!
Mythbusters: Ever wonder about the engineering of a ceiling fan or how many ping pong balls it takes to make a boat float? Now you know. Mythbusters has a cult like following and once you watch it you’ll realize why.
