Tips on How to Store Radio Controlled Cars
Written by admin on March 13, 2010 – 8:21 pm -First things first! Why is it important to clean and properly store radio controlled cars? Do you remember the reason your mother always told you to clean yourself up, clean your room, wash the dishes, etc.? That is – to keep you clean as well as up and running.
The same is true with radio controlled cars. The following are effective and necessary tips to store and keep those vehicles in great shape.
Believe it or not, the fuels used in nitro trucks or cars as well as in radio-controlled cars contain lubricants. The lubricants in these cars actually serve to protect the engine. This is due to the fact that not all of it gets burned when the engine runs. This therefore results in a chassis that is coated with a lot of oil which made its exit from the car’s pipe.
The way to remove this as easily as possible is by using a cleaner: one example is Simple Green. However, it is best to first remove all and any radio equipment before cleaning; after which, plug the inlets onto the engine. Another option is by removing the engine itself.
The chassis should then be sprayed down lightly. Use a brush that has a firm bristle to knock away any grime. Once the chassis has been cleaned, use a towel to dry it. Then, re-install the removed components.
The majority of radio-controlled cars have an electric starter. The bearings in this starter should always be oiled and cleaned at least every week or two.
The starter should then be removed as carefully as possible. The use of a screwdriver is an effective way to keep the pressure on the mechanism as the starter is pulled off the plate’s back.
Spray the bearing with engine spray in order to clean it. Oil the bearing in order to keep it running smoothly. You will discover that once the engine and starter is reassembled, it will work almost as good as new.
Fuel should be stored in a place that is dry and – as much as possible – away from pets, children, or anyone else who could mistake the fuel as washer for the windshield.
All in all, when fuel is stored, it could absorb water vapor over a significant amount of time, especially if the container is not sealed perfectly. It is best to store bottles on a cardboard and not on the carpet directly or on cement.

Get to Know Some Remote Control Truck Jargons
Written by admin on February 18, 2010 – 8:19 pm -
When starting a new hobby, it is certainly important for one to become familiar with the terms often used in that field. Of course, the world of remote control trucks is no exception; it also has a language of its own.
ARR/RTR – Some remote control trucks are almost completely assembled in the factory. ARR stands for Almost Ready-To-Run, while RTR is Ready-to-Run, usually identical to the former but with a radio system. ARR and RTR trucks cost a little more than unassembled models, but are practically ready to run right out of the box.
Chassis – This is the framework on which the components of a truck are mounted. It can be made of sturdy composites, aluminum, or graphite. The word chassis is also sometimes used to refer to an entire vehicle, excluding the body, wheels, and tires.
Electric starter – A hand-held electric motor used for starting a model engine, usually powered by a 12-volt battery. Electric starters are generally designed for airplane engines and require an adapter to work with truck engines.
Electronic Speed Control (ESC) – This replaces the mechanical speed control and servo usually found in “entry-level” electric remote control trucks. ESCs increase power efficiency and precision, while reducing a model’s weight for better performance.
Monster truck – Monster trucks are big and designed for torque instead of speed. They can move up hills, down slopes, and even over other cars.
Servo – The electromechanical device which moves the control surfaces or throttle of the truck according to commands from the receiver.
Stadium truck – Remote control stadium trucks, like their full-size counterparts, are built to take punishment. They are designed for all out racing, with heavy duty suspensions, oversized shocks and big tires that enable them to survive the roughest conditions.
Throttle – To increase or decrease acceleration, manipulate the throttle. It is the one that changes the voltage going to the truck’s motor or the fuel/air mix going to the engine.
Tie rods – Tie rods provide steering control by attaching the steering servo to the front wheels. They “tie” these two parts together.
