Coming up with an idea is always the hardest part for me :) I agree with Frits, when I just want to play, I look at what I've got on hand and work from there, thinking of what I can do with those parts.

gratz, now you can start

gratz, now you can start playing with C..

 i advice you to start playing with the tutorials at www.arduino.cc , and then move away to the toy competition, since you have a old rc car to play with.. 

 dont forget to give us some nice fotos =P its always fun to see the evolution.

 Good luck with the arduino, and welcome to the electronics open-source microcontroler!!!
