Id agree with that, it's even more relevant with rc cars than real cars, I even find myself in the dirt when photographing real cars.
A shot looking down on the cars will nearly always look dull and dreary, its mostly the same with any motorsport photography. You want to avoid taking pictures at the angles that people see naturally as they wont stand out. You take RC car shots low as then they look more like real cars and you dont often get to see the cars from a scale perspective.
