Tool for Racing RC Cars

Exclusive Summary About RC Car Tools By Jay Turner


Believe it or not, the most important tool for tuning and modifying RC cars, in any RC racer’s pit box, probably isn’t even sold at your local hobby store. Whether you race or just bash, you really should write down the current operating state of your RC ride.

As I’ve shared with the subscribers to my RC ezine, you can’t improve what you don’t measure. If you are serious about racing RC cars, you not only need to master your hand
eye coordination, but you should become compatent at adjusting your RC car to the conditions you race under.

It’s not only useful, but it will multiply how much fun you get outta your RC cars, trucks, and buggies. In order to improve and gauge your racing level, you need to be aware of your lap times. If you do, I promise you, you will find a whole new appreciation of the RC cars hobby.

How to Maintain RC Cars

Exclusive Summary About RC Car Tools By PJ Dunphy

Just like a full-sized car, proper maintenance will lengthen the lifetime of your remote control car, protect your investment, and help your vehicle operate at peak performance.

Is there any damage on the tires or on the structure of the car? A car that is meant to go off road won’t perform as well an on it and a carpet car won’t give you great jumps. If you crash your car too much, expect to see lots of damage and wear. Do not allow your RC car to get wet. Moisture will invite corrosion and damage the electrical parts. If your vehicle has a gas engine, follow the manufacturer?s recommendations for maintenance and storage.

Tuning Your Gas Powered Remote Control Car

Exclusive Summary About RC Car Tools By Clarence Phoon

For your RC cars suspension to absorb large impact or bumps, we must use a ”thicker” or more viscous oil. When tuning large RC cars such as the buggy or truck, one is to note that any impact sustained is to be absorbed by the chassis (framework) and not the suspension.

The thinner your shock fuel,the faster the body roll of your car. If the shock is in a more ‘layed down’ position, the shock will definitely be softer.

How to Build a Remote Control Car on a Budget

Exclusive Summary About Remote Control Car By Paul Hockney


You want to purchase top quality parts that will make a great car for you and your money. The cheapest way to find out if remote controlled car racing is for you is to purchase a kit that includes only the radio components and the motors for the car.

These radio control kits only cost about $20-$30 at the local hobby or craft store. The choice is up to you and either one will give you good experience in building remote control cars; it all depends on time and money.

Stick to an easy assembled car in the beginning, when you first start this new hobby and you will be ahead of the game when you go to build a nicer custom car.

Variations In Remote Control Cars

If you’ve ever purchased any of the several remote control cars out there, most likely “the house” version is the one that you purchased. Starting cost of an electric car; £68.08. Starting cost of a nitro car; £102.12.

Then, of course, if you are a guru in the RC racing world, you are well informed about the petrol cars that used to cost at least £700, are now at the prices of nitro and electric cars. These little vehicles take unleaded petrol mixed with 2 stroke oil, and have, but are not limited to, single cylinder engines, 520mm wheelbase, 23cc pull start engine, and more features that start at £245.96.
