Tucked away in the eastern stretches of Hong Kong, beyond the dense high-rises and the buzz of the city, lies a sprawling green canvas with a secret pulse: Jordan Valley Park. Known to most for its peaceful gardens, barbecue pits, and panoramic views, the park holds a different kind of allure… Continue reading
The photos below show the steps taken: First we expose and remove the existing circuit board and servo. Make sure the two motor wires remain accessible. Then we install a standard real RC servo. Then we connect, test and secure a receiver and an ESC. Finally we arrange a small… Continue reading
Painting a Lexan (polycarbonate) RC car body needs a bit of prep, but if you do it right, the paint will stick well and last a long time. Skipping these steps is the main reason RC shells peel or flake later. First, wash the body thoroughly. New Lexan shells come… Continue reading
If you’ve ever taken your RC car, truck, boat, or drone out on a cold day, you may have noticed it doesn’t feel quite the same. Slower acceleration, shorter run times, or electronics acting a bit sluggish are all common signs. That’s not a coincidence—temperature drops can have a real… Continue reading
Although intended as a mass-market RC rather than hobby-grade, the Big Dictator impresses with its fully proportional digital radio control, front and rear differentials, and functional suspension with shock absorbers—all uncommon for its time and price range . This combination of features set it apart from other toy-grade models and… Continue reading
This is how your performance is logged. LapMonitor is a wireless lap timing system designed specifically for RC (radio-controlled) car racing. It allows drivers to automatically track and record their lap times during practice sessions or competitive events. The system works by placing a small transponder on each car. As… Continue reading
In RWD setups, only the rear wheels are driving the car forward. That means the rear tires need to maintain grip under acceleration, cornering, and braking. A low CG keeps the weight closer to the ground, reducing the tendency of the chassis to lift the front and unload the rear… Continue reading
Verulamium Park in St Albans is a great spot for running RC cars due to its diverse terrain, open spaces, and accessibility. The park offers large grassy fields, which provide a forgiving surface for bashing and high-speed runs. These areas are perfect for off-road RC vehicles, allowing for jumps, drifts,… Continue reading
Jumping an RC car properly requires a combination of throttle control, steering input, and smooth landings to maintain stability and prevent crashes. As you approach the jump, it’s important to build up speed gradually rather than going full throttle right away. The ideal speed depends on the height and distance… Continue reading
