EuroRC 15 Years

15 Years of EuroRC

For 15 years, EuroRC Oy has been a key player in the European RC racing community. The company has grown from a small hobby shop into a leading retailer and distributor of RC cars, spare parts, and accessories. What started as a passion project has evolved into an established business serving both hobbyists and competitive racers. Here’s a look at the major milestones in EuroRC’s journey.

2010 – The Beginning
EuroRC Oy was founded in 2010 with the goal of providing RC enthusiasts with the best products and services in Finland and beyond. Initially, the company operated as a small online store offering carefully selected RC components for local racers. Thanks to strong customer service and high-quality products, EuroRC quickly gained a foothold in the Finnish RC hobby scene.

2012 – Expanding the Product Range
As the RC racing community grew, so did EuroRC’s selection. By 2012, the company had expanded its product range to include a wider selection of cars, spare parts, and electronics from well-known manufacturers. This made it easier for more drivers to find the parts they needed to enhance their performance.

2015 – Entering Distribution
In 2015, EuroRC took a significant step by securing distribution agreements with major RC manufacturers. The company became an official distributor for several top brands, making it easier for retailers and RC clubs to access high-quality products. This strengthened EuroRC’s position as a trusted supplier in the European RC community.

2018 – International Growth
EuroRC was no longer just a Finnish online store—it had grown into an international player. A revamped online store, improved logistics, and an expanding team allowed the company to deliver products more efficiently across the European market. More and more RC enthusiasts benefited from EuroRC’s expert service and extensive product selection.

2020 – Adapting to New Challenges
The global pandemic posed challenges for many businesses, but EuroRC responded quickly. As demand for online shopping increased, the company streamlined operations, optimized inventory management, and improved customer service to meet the growing demand. The popularity of RC hobbies surged, and EuroRC was ready to support enthusiasts both at home and on the track.

The goal was not only to provide high-quality products but also to promote the growth of the hobby and make RC racing more accessible to everyone.

Jani’s photos can be found in nearly all our newsletters and social media posts—without him, our visual world would look completely different! A heartfelt thank you to Jani and all RC enthusiasts in the Tampere region for these images and memories!
