Go Crazy in the RC Cars Heaven
Rc Car Parts

Article by ada faulk

With vintage and advanced technology developing by leaps and bounds, a wealth of fabulous and thrilling RC cars have hit the electrics market and gained immense popularity. If you want a gas powered RC car, nitro RC cars are the way to go.

Well, nitro RC cars combine the suspension cues of actual F1 cars and the power of dragsters, all rolled into one. Mini RC cars are more geared towards child and amateurs, but that's not to say they can't be a tons of fun too. Every mini RC car handles a little bit different than the next and definitely different than gas powered RC cars. It'll take some getting used to the torque and under steer issue for some gas powered RC cars. Want to play it safe until you get the hang of with little to no maintenance necessary? Drive a few different electric RC cars until you get used to those, then up to gas RC cars.

Having a scale gas RC car can be perfect for tooling around your secluded street or local parking lot. Gas RC cars are also great to pass the time during those long afternoon car shows. A lot of BMW owners are finding that RC car manufacturers are taking note of the demand for these particular RC cars and mini RC car have begun producing several of the models offered by BMW. I can't particularly say that the same craftsmanship has gone into each RC car that went into the actual vehicle, but at least they look good. Just do your homework on the gas RC car brand, the engine specs and you should be well prepared to pick your first RC.

When you get a little seasoned in the sport, you'll notice some of your competitor's RC cars for sale after they get beat. However, there is one option to t buy better RC car parts. If you aren't skilled enough to wrench on gas RC cars yet find someone with some experience working with RC car parts. RC car parts are very small and require special tools to ensure that are installed properly. Electric RC cars are the same way. And mini cars are even more of a pain to work on. RC car racing is definitely fun, but does require some dedication to the hobby or you won't relish RC car racing for long.

Anyway, welcome to join the electrics heaven to have fun with the thrilling and perking RC cars!

Question by growl: Electric On/off Road RC car?
Thinking about getting my self an electric rc car to race in Vegas and to take out to the desert here in Southern Utah. I use to race gas years ago in miami, But i think i want electric now. Anyone know of any good, fast, on road off road, electric RC cars out there? (preferably not a big old monster truck, i like them some what sleek.) Thanks

Best answer:

Answer by Chris
If you want true speed from an electric RC car, you will need brushless.
You havent mentioned your price range, so i'll give you a spread;

http://www.losi.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=LOSB0101

Is probably about the minimum for a decent branded brushless RTR.
However, you can pay upto; http://www.modelsport.co.uk/?CallFunction=ShowSpecification&ItemID=32873 (A british site, i know, but an american company.)
Finally, you could always buy a standard cheapy brushed model, and upgrade it, say;

Problem with the last being that if a model was running a brushed motor, the drive train probably isn't built to handle a brushless power source.

Your Guide To Electric RC Cars

Article by Tony Williams

Radio-controlled cars are becoming more and more popular, with people of all ages and gender getting into the hobby. However, as one first enters the world of RC cars, one learns that there are so many choices on the type, model, and kinds of cars. For example, you have to choose what will be the source to power your car: electric or fuel. As a beginner, you will look at the pros and cons of each. This article will be looking further at advantages and disadvantages of electric-powered RC cars. Advantages of electric-powered RC cars: 1. These cars are easy to clean. With batteries as the source of power, these will have no grease nor oil patches to scrub off. 2. These cars are lightweight; they do not carry the extra load of the fuel and tank. 3. These are easier to control. Unlike in the fuel-powered RC cars, engines of electric cars have a more balanced torque. This makes swerving and drifting easier to control. 4. These cars have better throttle response. With a lighter weight and a smoother engine, electric-powered cars respond better to an increase in engine power, and, thus, they accelerate faster. This is a very important advantage in short distance races. 5. These cars are quiet and don't give off gasoline fumes. Without the roar similar to a real car and fumes like those from fuel-powered cars, electric RC cars are suitable for indoor racing. 6. These cars have minimal regular maintenance. Since electric-powered RC cars don't use fuel, you don't need to perform oil changes, engine tune-ups, fuel checking, and other maintenance activities as you would with fuel-powered cars. Maintenance of electric RC cars are limited to dusting off the dirt, checking any damaged and worn-out parts, and replacing them. Disadvantages of electric powered RC cars: 1. It may take a long time to fully charge the batteries of these cars. The cars may run for only 10 minutes before the batteries need recharging, which may take thirty minutes to fully charge them. In some models, it may not be practical to carry spare batteries and replace the dead ones. 2. These cars achieve lower speeds than fuel-powered cars. Electric cars can run up to 40 mph while fuel-powered cars run over 70 mph. 3. Engines of these cars use permanent magnets that may overheat and get damaged during long runs. Thus, remember to cool down the engines after each run. 4. With the popularity of fuel-powered RC cars, manufacturers produce more of this kind of cars than electric-powered ones. Hence, replacement parts for electric RC cars may not be readily available in the market. Even with these disadvantages, it is better for a beginner to start with electric-powered RC cars. The simplicity and easy maintenance of these cars make them ideal to the person who is just starting out with this hobby.

Your guide to RC cars

Article by Robert Rogfend

I still remember the day when I broke my first RC car that was presented to me on my 5th birthday when the entire family was in vacation in Queensland! The same day, we went to a small local RC cars shop near by and as I entered I found myself surrounded with rc cars and rc trucks!! Soon, I set my eyes on a Tamiya Ford Ranger XLT. I bought that one and yes....i also laid my hands greedily on a rc truck!

Well, that was all around 25 years ago, but my passion is still as young.

Electric rc cars make use of a 7.2 volt battery and two electric motors. The rc car can speed up to 25 miles per hour and of course, this is the perfect start for the beginner. The best part of these electric rc cars is that you can redesign the cars to be more faster, attach ball bearings, boost the system with high power batteries and everything thing else you ever wanted to experiment with. With all these modifications, you can speed up your car to 40 miles per hour!

Similarly, the remote control car, which enables you to operate the car from a distance. It consists of a remote control unit, a battery, and a charger. Many remote control cars make use of a 540 size electric motors, powered by 4 or 7 cell batteries. Pan chassis with direct drive transmission are the norm for the remote control cars. Foam tires are used and lightweight Lexan bodies are used.

The Nitro RC cars are the second most popular cars. The word nitro refers to the nitrogen that is a major part of the fuel which is used to run the nitro rc cars. The energy that is given by the fuel combustion allows the nitro rc cars to catch up a speed of 80 miles per hour! These are special fuel made for nitro rc cars, regular gasoline will NOT work! Nitro rc cars are less in weight and have a better power to weight ratio. You can easily modify the engine with a Mabuchi motor to give a speed of 90 miles per hour!

These nitro or gas powered rc cars give that much needed reality into the machine and is spcailly designed for people who are in search of something different from electric cars. The most popular gas powered rc cars today are the cheap and fast gas rc car, nitro touring cars, the BIG monster nitro rc trucks!

These gas powered remote controlled cars and similar to electric touring cars, but with more power and 2-speed transmission. At 190mm, these cars are slightly narrower and smaller than the 200mm models. You can also search for hundreds of rc car from online rc hobby shops.

Answer by Kev ~ Now with added moobs
The Associated MGT has one of the toughest chassis I know of, although because of the way the engine transfers the drive to the transmission you will only get one engine on the chassis.
You could try the Losi LST or the Losi LST2, but seriously, if you can get either of those chassis you should build up the original truck out of it.
A twin engine truck might look and sound good, but they are a pain in the @ss to get right. An Associated MGT 8.0 with an Axial .32RR engine will kick dirt in the face of anything.

Hot Bodies did a TruckZilla conversion for the HPI Savage a few years ago, it came with everything you needed to make it a twin engined Savage. But that means buying an HPI Savage then buying the conversion kit, not a cheap option.
