Many times when it comes to RC cars many individuals take both categories. When we talk about electric cars you should know that electric means that the cars will be powered by small electric motors. RC off road electric cars have rechargeable nickel – cadmium, lithium polymer cells or nickel metal hydride. If you are just starting out and getting into RC car (radio controlled cars) then we highly recommend you going into the electric car category. You should know that there are many different brands of RC off road electric cars. Electric RC Cars – More Fun Than Video Games! Exclusive Summary About Electric RC Cars by Chris Robertson In this day and age of video games, electric RC cars are almost an anachronism. RC cars, despite their sophisticated remote controls, are just good old-fashioned family fun. This means you can have fun with RC toy cars even in small play areas. There are cartoonish cars like, for example, the Speed Racer Mach V or some of the stars from the Pixar movie “Cars.” The favorite RC cars in my home are those that reach dizzying speeds or are powerful enough to rumble over rough terrain outdoors and negotiate steep inclines and obstacles. My own favorite electric RC car is a 1/10-scale truck that literally pops wheelies when I let it rip.

Aerodynamics For Fast Electric RC Cars

Exclusive Summary About Fast Electric RC Cars by Niranjan Pradhan


Speed thrills and that is why fast electric rc cars are popular among radio controlled hobbyists. You will see how and why the aerodynamics of a fast electric rc car plays such a pivotal role in designing the vehicle.

The relationship above means that on a surface like that of your fast electric rc cars body if the velocity of air increases then the pressure exerted on that surface would reduce. You have two surfaces of your rc car.

When the car rushes through air in one direction essentially air flows along the surfaces in opposite direction. As per the principle above with decrease in speed the pressure on top surface increases. RC sprint cars have a very high speed to weight ratio.

Over steer / Under steer Tuning tips

Exclusive Summary About RC Car Set Up by Gregory Alexander

There are a lot of ways to tune the handling or your radio controlled car, the easiest is to adjust the front and rear shocks. While there are a lot of options with springs, different oils and all sorts we are just going to concentrate on the basics, most decent shocks have adjustments, either with spacers or bolts that let you adjust how hard or soft the shocks are.

As far as maximum and minimum stiffness goes, make sure that the bottom of your car doesn’t scrape the ground, and on the other end make sure it doesn’t bounce and leave the asphalt, apart from that you need to find the setup that matches your driving style, most people get winning setups off the internet and try to learn to drive them, mind you this is a great starting point, and most championship winners post their setup sheets.

Shock Stiffness guide

Stiffen in front = increasing under steer or reducing over steer
Stiffen in rear = increasing over steer or reducing under steer
