Common Radio Controlled Car Upgrading Methods
Aug 6th
RC hobbyists have been more and more inclined into tinkering with their Radio Controlled vehicles; whether in pursuit of learning more about the technicalities of their RC’s or saving on maintenance fees. RC enthusiasts are trying to be more adept with the repairs and upgrading needs of their collections.
Since Radio Controlled cars are no longer considered just kids’ toys, but more of an investment of time and money; increasing their value with the addition of new parts or altering some of their mechanical capacities to improve their performance has become the norm.
A hobby-grade RC car is usually the only type of these vehicles that can be upgraded. The installation of a new motor, a better tire or body is commonly what RC aficionados do when upgrading their RC’s.
External modifications of an RC car
Indeed, it’s the internal parts of a Radio Controlled car that makes it work. But it would look a lot cooler if you try to improve its external parts, right? The usual “mods” or modifications that RC aficionados do to the external parts of their RC’s include repainting, which can be more fun if the owner chooses to have some intricate designs on his RC. Adding some decals with the use of your PC and trusty inkjet printer can also be a good external mod for your RC.
Wheels and tires modifications
It’s an option whether an RC car owner just wants to dye the rims of his RC’s or would prefer to change the tires altogether. Choosing the right foam tires and/or performance tires to improve the racing capacity of your RC is one trick that an RC enthusiast should never overlook if he or she wants to become his or her own efficient RC handyman.
Nitro or Electric modifications for RC cars
This kind of modification requires an ample amount of “geekiness” really. Not many know which engine to choose if they are into this endeavor. If you’re aiming to better the performance of your nitro-powered Radio Controlled vehicle, installing a tuned pipe is one popular way to do it. Maybe a video tutorial or just any illustrated do-it-yourself RC mod project site can help you.
For those with electric-powered RC’s, usually changing the motor will do.
And by the way, usually, Radio Controlled cars come with upgrade kits when purchased. Think of maximizing these kits first before buying any new tool or upgrade items.

RC Nitro Engine
Jul 18th
RC autos are always among the latest toys in any given year due to kids’ interest in controlling autos of their own, plus the fact that there are countless adult RC automobile fans across the world. RC automobiles run on electricity, gas or nitro-fuel. The basic RC automobiles that most youngsters play with are called toy-grade RC autos. Toy-grade RC cars are powered by either normal or rechargeable batteries and are usually reasonably priced. High-end RC cars come equipped with shocks, complex engines and custom painting. In 2005, a model of a Lincoln Navigator was manufactured with working lights, a detailed interior, dub edges and a working mp3 player. Many toy-grade RC vehicle makers have started building specialised models that have unique traits, such as stunt driving capabilities, like the Discovery Radio Control Equalizer Stunt Car. It sets itself aside from other toy-grade RC cars as it has rotating wheels and can drive upside down. Even though it isn’t a hobby-grade RC vehicle, it can still do superb stuff like popping wheelies, spinning, twisting and power-slide drifting.
In the 1970s, lots of the RC autos produced were gas-fired models that used internal combustion engines. The mid-seventies brought about the electric RC vehicle, which was far better to run and maintain than its gas-powered predecessor. The 1980s were a great decade for RC car fans because major competitions commenced turning up around the world, proving that these “children’s toys” were not just for children any more. There have not been any major breakthroughs in RC car technology in recent years aside from the ability to install small music players and “tricked out” accessories.
Customizable RC cars have been one of the major reasons for the past-time’s recognition. Customising RC automobiles is a matter of preference-the sorts of shocks and tires used, whether the car runs on nitro-fuel or electricity-the chances are just about unending. The standard of these customizable parts can make all the difference in a hobby-grade RC car’s performance. Many hobby-grade RC cars don’t go much faster than 35-40 miles per hour, but the world record for RC car speed, held by Nic Case, is 134.4 mph.
