RC Models

the hobby world of radio control models

Thanks for visiting my site for RC models. If you are looking for an RC model, some RC parts, rc videos or just entertaining information you will find it all here!


Radio controlled models also sometimes called remote controlled models come in all shapes and sizes you can get planes, helicopters, boats, cars and trucks and more all RC. Also there are various types of each to choose from depending on what you want to get from your rc model. With RC cars for example there are off road models designed for the use off road and on all terrain, these often come with chunky tires to enable them to grip better in muddy situations or climbing dunes. Then still on the subject of radio controlled cars there are road racing cars designed for speed and racing and there are numerous types including electric (battery powered) and Nitro as well as gas powered. Some people like to just buy and race their rc cars, some like to build them theirself from a kit while others prefer rc helicopters and some glider planes. So you need to decide exactly what you want to do with your radio controlled hobby before you can decide which model is right for you.

Many people consider gas and nitro powered models to be the same and with RC cars they are often called either but when it comes to certain models in particular radio controlled boats, gas powered models run on a mixture of gasoline and oil. And nitro powered models run on a special mixture containing nitro, methanol and oil.

In general nitro powered models whether boats or cars are more powerful and much faster. So another thing to consider is where you will be using your radio controlled model, I mean do you have enough room to use the kind of speed and power associated with nitro models. Another factor to consider is the noise difference. Also when you are running a gas or a nitro powered model there are more mechanical components to maintain such as the carburetor and fuel and air filters to name just a few where as electric powered models are much cheaper to buy , are easy to maintain and make less noise. Also when it comes to refueling it is easier and quicker to change a battery pack than it is to refuel gas. ( that being said, many electric cars require the shell to be removed or other covers to get to the battery pack).

Radio controlled models are becoming increasingly more popular and come in all shapes and sizes from scale models to monster trucks and various sizes of planes, gliders, boats, and helicopters. Also there are plenty of events, shows and races for the enthusiast to attend if they wish.

..admin – Why not get a job, specifically with the special shops that fix, sell, etc. toy car models? In this way. . . you have money, get discounts to buy something at the store. . . I think employers to hire young responsible guys like you. . . it all depends on your performance and appearance. . .

Welcome to the world of RC cars ! Radio control cars or remote control as they are also sometimes called is a fascinating pastime for many fans of racing cars. RC car racing is gaining attention as a popular pastime that attracts young and old alike. The joy and excitement of motor racing remote control is like no other.

If you’re not yet into the RC scene, I hope you will find this site interesting and once you discover the joys of this hobby and maybe you will give it a try. Those of you already hooked on RC models and RC car racing will know as a hobby, RC car Racing becomes very addictive sometimes. It is a common sight to see men and women, young and old fall in love with RC car racing. RC Car Racing has reached higher levels of perfection and has become much more than just a regular pastime with the high level of professionalism involved in racing.

For any person just getting interested in RC cars it can be difficult to make a choice. That’s because the radio control cars are now available in a wide range of colors, styles and features. They can be purchased as unassembled kits, or in a complete, ready to race condition. You should be sure to check around for the best deal that suits your needs and budget. One can choose between many options, gas or electric cars on road or SUV, truck or car models.

Below is a description of the different types of RC cars available today.

The Nitro Powered RC Car as its name suggests, works with nitro fuel. This segment is the fastest RC car and more popular in the world of RC racing. It can reach astonishing speed in just a few seconds and boasts plenty of power. A Nitro RC car can jump over obstacles at high speeds and land safely on the road. These cars run quite fast and can reach speeds of 70 mph or more. If you’re a fan of high speed driving, then you can select Nitro RC car. However, these cars are not for beginners because of the complexities of running them.

Contrary to popular belief, gas RC cars do not run on gasoline, but in a specially formulated type of fuel. Most motor vehicles running gas use a manual starter is similar to a lawnmower. There is a disadvantage in using these cars as it is quite complicated to implement some proceedures. The instructions should be followed very carefully to work well.

RC electric cars run on batteries and are easy to operate. These cars are much cheaper compared to Nitro RC cars and are affordable to those with financial difficulties. The batteries are rechargeable, which saves additional fuel costs. Since the RC electric cars are simple to operate and affordable they are the beginners usual first choice. These cars are usually used by beginners to practice their racing skills without great expense. However, electric RC car is slower compared to the nitro powered car.

What sort of quality is Tamiya RC car ? , what would be good for beginners ?
I want one that is not too expensive, so I can spend my money elsewhere, and has very good reviews. If anyone can recommend a good car for me please do!

….admin – the Tamiya HPI E10 Touring is good, and easily upgadable with loads of parts, but if you must buy a tamiya then anything with the chassis of the TT-01, most of them are the kits, but Tamiya kits are bright and easy to assemble, see some of the popular and recommended Tamiya models below..

Just as with other radio control models helicopters are available on the market that run on electric , (ie rechargeable batteries) and also those that use nitro or gas. Probably the easier to control and also the easiest to prepare for flight are the electric models. Nowadays the electric models are just as fast and powerful as the older nitro versions because the electronic technology and battery technology have vastly improved over the past couple of years. It used to be that nitro or gas powered radio control helicopters were considered the best choice but this is no longer the case, now it just a matter of choice, but when choosing there are several factors to consider. As we already mentioned electric models are easier to maintain, easier to control, and parts are readily available should you need to repair your helicopter due to a CRASH ! ( As I recently found out myself when I sent my Airwolf head on into a tree!)
An OBVIOUS tip , make sure you have enough open space to fly and control your RC helicopter! That said you should be prepared for the odd crash landing as accidents with this type of RC Model are common. Luckily there are usually parts available to replace any damage but it can be an expensive hobby if you piloting skills are not up to par. I have had light damage on several occasions and completely written off one expensive model. I keep the parts left over from the crash that were reusable in case of future accidents but the vital parts of the copter were trashed.
There are also various different models and many different prices to choose from depending on what you want. There are single channels lower cost models, two, three, and four channel models to choose from. There are various types of battery packs that they can come with , some offer more power and longer air time. There are even RC helicopters which come with a radio camera to enable you to take pictures and even videos from the skies! Great!

RC Helicopters

I wont go into the different models and prices here in this post because you should choose what is most appropriate for you and a little research on the net or visit to your local model shop will give you all the info you need to make an informed decision.

There are really only a few checks to make with electric models prior to flight. You should check all connections from the battery, antenna and all other connections if you want to avoid loosing control of your model in full flight! Nitro powered helicopters are a little more work to maintain because as well as the electrics for the receiver you have mechanical parts to maintain also.

Generally speaking maintenance of RC helicopter is very easy, just look after it, clean the various parts after use and keep it in a safe place and above all, Enjoy, and try NOT to crash.

Nitro RC Trucks are fun?

I want to get a Nitro RC Truck for Christmas i, but first I want to know if worth pursuing. are difficult to establish whether the brakes and the speed with which they go.

Hella are fun and go fast. My husband has one that loves to play with him but can reach spendy if you run into things and break the parts and stuff. There are hobby shops that can make adjustments for you and what kindda but if you are mechanically inclined as a husband mhy does all his own work. It just depends on your level of mechanical ability and remember … becuz you can only fix a full size car these little things are a little different to do some research online and stuff. They come with a manual that provides basic solutions and troubleshooting as well ………. good lucky!

rc car controller review

RC car without the remote?

I found a remote control car in my basement with your remote control. It is a toy with the 4 basic directions (towards back, forward, right and left) and its 27 MHz, but my other two 27 MHz controllers do not work. Help?

Your best bet is to look at eBay to match remote.

How are adrift in a fast and the furious car radio control?

During a spin, hit reverse and foward again.

What is an RC car good place to start with?

I have a friend who is talking of getting a RC car. He wants me to buy a TC4. That is a lot of money. World In Action Craft and Hobby dolllars its 215 for a team and for their $ 235 RTR. And the thickness of RC cars hard to start with. Thus if you please tell me what is the best RC car for a bigger image. I like to get a kit but I would like to have a car RTR RC.

Scale RC cars are the best. EDIT: These RC cars are very fast, and are $ 300 and more, and are the size of a regular rectangle pillow (size of a 2 / 1 of a backpack) EDIT: Im pretty sure that there is very rapid regular sized vehicles out there in stores. Get those. Or, for action stunt performers, RC Monster Truck.
