Fast RC Planes 2008-02-17 12:07:33 Many of the fast planes are designed for those who have had some experience at least of controlled a remote control plane and ready to progress to the next level up. The designs are very professional and give a high amount of performance and speed so ideally should only been flown in open areas such as your local park. Do bear in mind the safety aspects as there will be many people, families and animals in the area. Even though many planes are designed to be flexible when crashing, they can still be painful if they are to hit someone which is why experience is usually necessary.More channels on the controller mean more planes can fly in the area without the signal getting confused between devices. The Warbird for example comes with a 4 channel controller and gives very precise and quick re

Performing Tricks With Rc Helicopters 2008-01-26 06:04:27 Once you're familiar with flying RC helicopters, the next step that you're most likely to take is learning how to perform tricks. There are a number of tricks that can be done with RC helicopters, and each one is just as exciting as the next. Performing
tricks are for experienced flyers, so if you're just starting out, learn the basics of flying RC helicopters first.Split-S This is a half loop and a half roll. Either the loop or the roll can come first, followed by the other. If you roll to inverted first, pull out right side up with a half loop. Do a half loop to inverted, then roll to right side up to gain altitude.Tic-toc When you make the helicopter look like the boom is fastened to a metronome, you're doing a tic-toc. Alternate positive collective and backward elevator with negative c

RC Model Boats 2008-01-08 04:27:50 There is a thrill experienced when you buy a model RC boat and able to control it skimming across the water as though you were controlling the real thing. Age is irrelevant as the rc model boat hobby is for people of all ages young to old, male or female. You can either buy a boat or build one from scratch, either way they are fantastic fun.Due to this thrill and self pride its always good to build a RC boat yourself, many local model shops sell all the parts you will need and the glue and other connection materials as well as craft places offering all sorts of transfers and stick ons. If you have never built your own model, you may think it sounds very complicated but infact it is much easier than you would think with the instructions being very user friendly.It is obvious though that bui Read more:Boats

Jot Down Your RC Car's Numbers 2007-11-29 12:49:20 Think of the most important tool you need for your RC car both on and off track. If you answered the motor, tires or battery then you didn’t get it right. Perhaps, the mentioned objects have their own designated purpose and task for a remote controlled car but for the hobbyist itself, a pen and paper are two of the greatest tools ever.Really, the pen and paper are the useful when dealing with RC cars. There is no joke here since listing down the numbers of your RC car is the subject; nothing else can do it better. Have you ever thought of experimenting before? If you have, surely you have also thought of writing down everything you discover, right? This is actually the same point why securing a written record of your RC car and its performance is very important.Regardless RC cars, trucks Read more:Numbers

Tools For Assembling RC Toys 2007-10-31 05:26:06 ry building a RC car, truck, plane, boat or buggy with incomplete building tools and you'll realize how stressful it can become. Some people think that using less than the quality tools they can purchase is going to do just good. But your RC toy is surely not going to be irreparable after just a month (well, maybe except for an intense damage inflicted to your car due to crashes). This means that your building tools have to stick around as long as your RC toy is functional as well.It will completely defeat the purpose of saving money for building tools, if you are going to eventually buy a new tool kit just after several times of using it. The money that you spend for less quality tools that you try to buy twice or thrice in a year, can become more expensive than the original retail price Read more:Tools
Off-Road RC Cars 2007-10-19 03:59:07 Be it nitro or electronically powered RC cars, you’d still be able to get a good, first hand experience of owning and racing an RC car…or is it a truck, plane or boat? There are quite a few selections and still more choices to choose from because RC toys come in different shapes and sizes.There are already two choices available for your RC car. You can either run it on or off road but if you want to go the extra mile and add a few rush of adrenaline to your racing experience, you can opt for the off road car, truck or buggy. We all know that RC cars are the most common type among all other RC toys. RC cars are ideal for a typical racer or those who love speed even from just little cars.But then again, there are still the off-road type of RC vehicles you can try just in case off-roading
Rc Boats 2007-10-10 11:01:43 For some reason, being able to control a miniature boat as it skims over the water of a local lake is something that many people find very appealing. It doesn't matter whether you are a kid or an adult; RC boats (Radio Controlled boats) are universally fun. On top of that, nothing is more fun than undergoing a huge and daunting project, and eventually seeing the results come through. Therefore you should consider building RC boats on your own, out of materials that you can buy from any local craft or hobby store. If you are here, you have likely already considered this prospect. It is more than possible, and probably easier than you would think. Since you have taken the more interesting route and decided to build your own RC boats rather than buy one pre-made, you will have quite a few mo Read more:Boats
Radio-controlled Race Cars and Racing 2007-10-10 10:58:51 Sprint Electric RC Cars There are many kinds of cars in the real world: Sedans, Safaris, SUVs, Formula One cars. So, their imitating radio controlled cars also have all those kinds. While a touring Electric RC Car is the most popular one, the Electric RC Sprint Car is no doubt the strangest of the bunch. Real Sprint Cars are small light weight high powered cars designed for very fast racing at more than 200 kmph. These cars have a very high power to weight ratio or, in other words, they are relatively very light for the speeds given by them. Being very fast, they use cage like metal structure mounted on top for safety of drivers, in case of overturning, rolling during high speed racing. Being very light, to increase tire friction and to prevent easy hopping off the track/ ground, a wing ty Read more:Radio

Gas Rc Helicopter Teaches You The Basics! 2007-10-08 05:16:51 Gas RC Helicopter
teaches you the basic of the helicopter flying more than any type of RC Helicopter around. Gas RC Helicopter is also much expensive than the electric.

RC Basics - Part I 2007-10-06 15:55:04 Congratulations on taking your first step into the exhilarating hobby of R/C!By now you basically know that there are five major types of RC vehicles:* Airplanes* Helicopters* Boats* Cars* TrucksAll of them have one thing in common: they are all controlled by a transmitter that sends a series of signals to a receiver located in the vehicle. The receiver then sends the commands it receives from the transmitter to the servos or electronic speed controller.This is referred to as the Radio System.A servo is a little electric motor that rotates a few degrees in each direction. Attached to the servo is the servo arm (also known as horn). The linkage arm then connects to the linkage, which is then attached to whatever part of the vehicle it is assigned to control.From left to right: 4 Channel Tra Read more:Basics
About radio-controlled cars, tanks, planes, helicopters and boats 2007-10-04 17:41:26 RC Cars:Nitro RC Cars Nitro RC car or Gas powered RC car is a radio-controlled model car that runs on a special fuel - a mix of oil, nitro-methane and methyl alcohol. The ESP of a Nitro RC car is that it is far more powerful and runs longer compared to Electric RC cars. They are a little more expensive than their electric counterparts - both to own and maintain. While electric RC cars are ideal for beginners, Nitro RC cars are ideal for serious hobbyists and racers. Basically, a Nitro RC car has an internal combustion engine of 2-stroke or 4-stroke type. Fuel is supplied from a little tank that contains its special fuel. Normal gasoline will not work in these engines. It starts either with pull start cord or starter box. As with real cars, these engines have a carburetor, air filter and su Read more:planes
