Electric RC Car Tips

It's better to use Electric RC Cars with stock motor, which have more than 20 turns, so can't run much fast. While advanced learners may go for a motor with a few more than 10 turns to get more speed. Racers on the other hand use as few as 6 turns; any fewer means a burnt car or battery.

If you are beginner, do not bother about saddle packs for batteries, or to build them yourself, they are for serious racers. Beginners may well off with 6 cell loose packs or battery sticks.

Even for a good battery set, normally Electric RC Car do not run more than 5 to 15 minutes depending on the action and model involved. Whereas it takes no less than 25 minutes to charge with best chargers.

Beginners must restrain the temptation to use costly Electric RC Cars and to go fast while learning since accidents may lead to less loss before you master the art.

Use soft cotton towels or paper towels, to wipe off dirt from car. In hard to reach areas, a soft toothbrush or such other brush may be used.

Always drive near the inner edge of turnings on racetracks, just like the races. Most used lanes carry less dirt, which means more friction and more speed after turn. Less used outer edges, on the other hand, may have dust, which by sticking to tires, reduces friction and post turning speed.

As with many other things we buy on the net, Electric RC Cars and their accessories are available in plenty in a wide range in the online shops. They generally offer good bargains, hence give them a try before dashing off to hobby shops or consumer electronics stores.

Like many professionals, you too can try to solder the wires directly to the motor and batteries, in your Electric RC Car, to drain the batteries efficiently. Ordinary plugs are, indeed, not as efficient.

After race, check the Electric RC Car visually for cracks, kinks, loosened parts, loosened tires etc.

When you want a hobby grade Electric RC Car but can't afford it, first try the less expensive toy grade or mid grade Electric RC Car for practice for some time. Then switch to hobby grades but go for 'Do-it-yourself' kits. You will still save a few bucks over the cost of RTR (ready-to-race) hobby grade Electric RC Car, while not exposing the expensive car to crash damages during practice.
