How do you get a R/C sponsor?

You need to be a very good driver and apply for sponsorship at a company looking for drivers. Or a company may come up to you if they like your driving.

How often does that happen and at what level of races does it happen?

Spelling sponsor correctly would be the very first step

The oldest saying always rings true: "if you have to ask, you're not ready"

Pro2 Slash, edit some of those dashes out of your sig so it doesn't widen out everyone's screen when you post, or I'll have it removed!

I agree with this 100%

Your attitude and how you help others are a bonus to getting sponsorship. If you feel that your good enough for sponsorship try out some bigger races where the team your interested in has team drivers racing in the event. Also talk with them, ask questions and learn from them well.You will find out helping others is a big thing and not just about where you finish on the track. When your good and running consistantly sponsors will come to you. You shouldn't try to chase them down and ask for sponsorship when you do this the company thinks you just want free stuff and not really interested in representing their product.

Sponsorship is great but you'll find out that being independent is probably your best bet.

Good luck!

You do realize that one of the nations top sponsored drivers drove a slash at the 2011 nationals, right?
