Zero RC is a hobby shop operated by RC hobbyist and electronics expert Zero in Garcia, San Fierro featured in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.

Description

The shop is owned by an unnamed landlord up until 1992, when the landlord decides to sell the shop. Zero has been living above the shop and fears that he would be evicted once the shop is sold. In desperation, Zero calls Carl Johnson pleading for help. CJ, having just met Zero, obliges and buys the shop for $30,000, allowing Zero to stay there.

Purchasing the property unlocks Zero's missions (Air Raid, Supply Lines..., and New Model Army), all of which revolve around defeating Zero's rival, Berkley. These missions are not part of the storyline, but are required for 100% completion. After completing all of these missions, Zero RC becomes an asset for CJ, generating a maximum of $5,000 per pick-up. In addition, the side mission Beefy Baron becomes available.

The shop's banner has the Japanese "rising sun" flag as its background. Inside the shop, a lot of merchandise can be found, including action figures and radio-controlled vehicle models.

Trivia

• The Manhunt action figures technically wouldn't have existed during the events of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, seeing as the events of Manhunt took place in 2003, eleven years after 1992.
• In the PlayStation 2 version of the game, pedestrians appear inside the shop. This does not occur in other versions of the game.
• The U.S.S. Liberty model is a reference to the ship of the real name^[1], notable for being attacked by Israeli forces during the Six-Day War in 1967, although the real ship was a spying ship and not an aircraft carrier.
