There are ISO guidelines for screw and screw hole tolerances and fits, primarily covered in ISO 286, which defines tolerances for linear dimensions and fits. Specific standards, like ISO 965 for threads and ISO 3269 for general purpose screws, provide detailed information on tolerances and fits for various screw types…. Continue reading
The ISO guidelines for holes and shafts, specifically within the ISO 286 tolerance system, are essential for ensuring standardized fits between mating components, such as shafts and holes. These guidelines establish a universal method for defining and communicating the degree of clearance or interference between these parts, which is critical… Continue reading
High quality ball bearings are manufactured based on selective assembly. Selective assembly increases the cost of ball bearings due to the added complexity, time, and precision required during the manufacturing process. Unlike standard assembly, where components are mass-produced and assembled without much individual matching, selective assembly involves carefully matching components… Continue reading
In recent years, the remote control (RC) car market has seen several new brands emerge, each bringing their unique innovations and designs to the hobby. One of the more notable entries is Arrma, which has gained a reputation for producing high-performance RC vehicles known for their durability and speed. Arrma… Continue reading
Damage around screw holes seems a common issue on Tamiya cars. It could have occurred due to a combination of factors. Screw holes create points of stress concentration in the chassis. When a screw is tightened, the material around the hole experiences higher stress than other areas of the chassis…. Continue reading
Can we use soldering iron to fix broken plastic? As a quick fix, yes for most Tamiya ABS plastic parts. I would first use super glue to glue back the pieces, then wait for 10 minutes and then use soldering iron to wipe the surface crack.. to be precise, gently… Continue reading
The Tamiya Big Wig was first introduced in 1986 as part of Tamiya’s 10th-anniversary celebration of their RC car line. It was a high-performance 1/10 scale off-road buggy that embodied innovative design elements and engineering excellence. The Big Wig quickly became a favorite among RC enthusiasts and collectors for its… Continue reading
Nitro RC cars are equipped with small two-stroke engines that run on a fuel mixture of nitromethane, methanol, and synthetic oil (the engine is often equipped with a pull-start mechanism for easy starting). They typically have a multi-speed transmission system that allows the driver to control the speed and torque… Continue reading
