The best way to start with RC cars is to get one that is easy to use and moves slowly. It might not be your dream remote-controlled car, but it will teach you how to make it faster and stronger. Help from other RC car fans will make it easier for you to get started in the hobby. RC cars come with parts and tools that you can use to tune them and get them ready for the tracks.
The ready-made RC car
But before you can do that, you might want to try the electric RC car. This is a popular choice for people who are just starting out with RC cars. It has a Nickel Metal Hydride battery pack that can be charged again and again. When the power runs out, you can charge it quickly. Most of the time, a fully charged battery can keep your RC car running for hours. This is already put together and usually comes with a 2-channel RTR (ready to run) radio system. This is already put together to meet the needs of new modellers and/or drivers in the backyard.
When you're done with the electric-powered RC car and know all the basics, you might want to think about getting a gas-powered RC car that runs on nitromethane-based fuel. If you'd rather not do that and you think you've gotten better, you can instead improve your car's speed and how it works. You can add a new engine or a motor with more power. You can start to get rid of the bushings and put in ball bearings in their place. Check out the store because there are many RC car parts that you will need to make your car better.
RC car kit
You should get an RC car kit if you want to have more fun and think you're good enough at putting it together. A kit comes with the body, engine, and electronic or motor speed control, as well as an owner's manual with instructions. In order to build your model, you may need to cut away extra pieces of the body's clear Lexan plastic. With a special polycarbonate, the body can be painted any colour you want.
Along with the chassis that comes with the kit, you also get nut drivers, screwdrivers, pliers, and other tools that you will need to build your model. Building a car from a kit is better than buying one already made because it will teach you how the machine works. This helps when the car needs to be tuned and when it needs to be taken care of.
Prepared to face the other teams
Getting your car ready for the race would take a lot of work. When you buy a competition-style RC car, the engine doesn't always come with it. Usually, it's up to the driver to choose what kind of engine he wants. In other cases, the kit is sold with only the chassis, leaving you to choose the rest of the parts. Your work on the car should make it possible for it to be used in a race and have more power and go faster.
What you do determines how fast you want your car to go. If this was for the race, you wouldn't want it to be left behind the track, so you should take care of all the details and work that need to be done.
If you are a beginner, on the other hand, you shouldn't expect the best results. It's normal for people who are new to the competition to make mistakes on the first scenarios. As you keep going, you'll find that you're going better.
If you talked to the other competitors, they could give you tips on how to win. You can find out everything else you need to know to build the fastest RC car by going to websites and reading books.
