New to RCCP? Follow these steps in order. You can use the vehicle tools and included scenes without writing code.

- Your First Drive — drive the included car and learn the Unity panels used in these guides.
- Setting Up Your Own Vehicle — use the Setup Wizard when you are ready to add your model.

The guide
The guides start with a goal, setup steps and a Check describing what you should see. Follow the main steps first; use optional sections when you need more control. The reference chapters explain scripting and individual settings in greater detail.
Inspector means Unity's settings panel for the selected object. Play Mode means running your game inside Unity. Settings use their visible Inspector labels; code names appear where useful for reference.
