- there are two type of cars
- 1Choose which kind of R/C car you want to build. Different engine types offer vastly different top speeds and performance specs. In order of increasing speed, they generally follow this order: electric, nitro and gas.
- 2Purchase a motor if it's not included in the kit. Nearly all R/C motors can be "hopped up" at a later date if you want to swap out for something more powerful. First-timers may want to start with more manageable power and move up as their skill levels increase.
- 3Get a transmitter/receiver package for your remote controlled car. Most such accessories can be found simply by clicking on a link with the appropriate parts for your build model of choice.
Build Your Car
- 4Assemble the chassis using pliers and a screwdriver. Solid makes and models that come at 1/10 or 1/8 scale will usually require significant torque to tighten everything completely, so you may want to use a power drill.
- 5Put together the shock tower assembly, taking particular care to place the long screws for the camber links in their proper orientation.
- 6Build the engine. It's not unusual for R/C car engines to come with several parts, so take care and follow the manufacturer's instructions for glow starters, slide carbs and other tiny components.
- 7Assemble the servo, being sure to center it first so your driving isn't erratic. It may help to tie the leads together for a cleaner interior environment as well.
- 8Add the tires, being sure the treads are all oriented the right way.
- 9Let 'er rip! If you have done everything right and the radio controls are properly aligned, you should be able to achieve dazzling leaps and turns in a matter of minutes.
