Tip: So that you won’t lose body clips often. After removing them from the chassis, its nice to clip them on an the wings/spoilers of an rc cover body. If your rc cover has no spoiler installed then you can just clip it under or find a place in the cover where you can attach the body clip. That way you wouldn’t lose or misplace it and it sticks to the rc body.
Racing your nitro RC on the street or even off-road is a heavy burden to its nitro engine’s air filter. Dirt and other debris can get inside and reduce the performance of your nitro rc engine. Cleaning the air filter is part of the maintenance needed to keep your RC at optimal performance. Changing air filter parts and oiling those regularly helps optimize and lengthen the life of your nitro engine.
The role of a wheelie bar is to keep the RC car or truck’s front end from lifting too far off the ground. Just like in drag racing, this occurrence means big trouble. It is also used to keep it from lifting during fast acceleration to promote safety and keep it on the track. When performing a wheelie, these bars keep the rc car from flipping over. RC vehicles that need wheelie bars are rear wheel drive vehicles with a lot of torque or power. When the front end lifts and only the rear tires are on the ground, the wheelie bar keeps the vehicle stabilized and allows the rear wheels to maintain traction during acceleration.
Wheelie bars attach to the back of an rc car and come in different sizes to cater to rc car size, wheelie angle, etc.

The rc car servo is a small mechanical motor with decide the speed and direction the car will travel.
A gas car has two servos, one connected to the carburetor, another to the steering mechanism.
The servo connected to the carburetor controls the speed of the car. It also controls the braking mechanism.
The second servo is connected to the steering mechanism, controlling the direction of the car’s front wheels.
As for doing servo motor repairs, it would be advisable to consult an expert.
RC car Frequency Crystals
The transmitter sends signals to the receiver on a specific frequency. Removable frequency crystals, located at both the transmitter and receiver, determine this frequency.
An rc crystal mhz may be in the works in the near future.
Tip:
Be careful, the crystal with an Rx label is used for the receiver, and the Tx label for the transmitter. The purpose of these frequency crystals is to ensure that signals from car do not interfere with signals for another car. For example, if you are using a frequency of 27.255, make sure no one nearby is using the same frequency.
Operating two cars next to each other using the same frequency will cause loss of
control and cause the cars to crash. Make sure that the people you play with are on a
different frequency than what you are using.
In hobby quality RC cars, the radio control system is fully proportional. This means that the speed of the car can be finely controlled. You can go at 0% to 100% full speed, and any speed in between, just like a real car. The same goes for steering the car. You can turn left gently, or turn left aggressively. You can turn right gently, or turn right aggressively. Radio control parts that are installed inside a nitro RC car:
The Radio Control car hobby is great fun! You get the feel of driving a car or truck like you could never drive your real car. Beginners usually begin with an electric RC truck or car and they love being totally in control of a fully functional scale model that is just waiting for your next command. Fast RC cars are available all over the world!
To enjoy this hobby, it is important to know the various type of options available to pursue your hobby. The most popular type of R/C car is the Off-Road Buggy. Big tires with “knobby” spikes, full-travel suspension parts and a high ground clearance allow the off-roader to go almost anywhere. They come with either two-wheel drive (2WD) or four-wheel-drive (4WD), and reach speeds of 15-30 mph.
On-Road cars usually have lower ground clearances, slicks tires, aerodynamic bodies, and are capable of a bit higher speeds. The Mazda RX-7 E10 Drift RTR is the perfect example of an on-road car.
