Radio-Controlled Vehicles For Beginners

Radio controlled hobbies can be pretty costly. Toy grade models might be good for kids, but someone who is pursuing a radio controlled model hobby should invest in a hobby grade model.The most common and preferred RC model is the car. But let this not limit your search and options. The concept and principle of the RC model is virtually the same, and all hobby grade models are simple and robust in design. Most require some practice to master the control. A car is a good place to start, and later you can invest in an airplane or other more advanced model. A person who has access to a free open ground (even a big football field is fine!) can safely invest

How To Choose A Beginner Remote Helicopter

Today there's so many choices for a Remote Helicopter that choosing the right one is confusing for the beginner just getting started. The good news is these choices can tailor a RC helicopter to the pilots skill level and preference of flying indoors and or outdoors. For the sake of learning to fly a rc Helicopter, only 4+ channel rc helicopters will be recommended. A true hobby grade remote control helicopter will have a swashplate. A swashplate takes the input from the pilot via servos ( small electric motors) and transfers that signal to move the swashplate from side to side or forward and back.

Petrol Versus Electric Radio Controlled Models

Radio controlled models come in two basic forms, petrol and electric. There is regular petrol as well as a Nitro fuel mixture. Petrol is just like regular unleaded petrol, just a little more refined to make running in small engines easier. Nitro fuel has a higher octane, and is usually ran in high performance engines that go much faster. Petrol engines are just like the motor you have in your car, but on a much smaller scale.Electric RC's are powered by battery packs, supplying power to small electric motors. The power packs are usually 9.6v, and take at least an hour to fully charge. People who prefer using electric vehicles usually have at least two

Tom Bowles: Keselowski Tackles Struggles At Fontana, Nationwide And Brett Favre

Let's look back at the Cup race from Sunday. Things never really panned out the way you wanted, as contact with the wall led to a 26th-place finish. What happened? Yeah, well actually the start of the race went really well. All the Penske cars qualified poorly for some reason, but when the start came we began to move forward, up to the 13th or 14th spot. We actually passed Tony Stewart , who went on to win the race. We were feeling pretty good about our car and came in to pit under green, had a good pit stop, everything went good and we came back out on the track and we just weren't quite handling as well.

Motion Sensing Remote Controlled Jet Practically Flies Itself

Buying remote controlled aircraft is always a bit of a crapshoot. Even though I always wanted one as a kid, I've quickly realized that in many cases you get what you pay for. Flight wasn't exactly a science that was easily mastered, and a cheapie remote controlled craft tend to have a very difficult time with it. This motion sensing remote controlled jet, however, promises to rid you of the problems of its clumsy predecessors.The fighter jet is designed to respond to the motion of the controller's joystick. This allows the craft to emulate the yoke of a real fighter cockpit. As such, slight tilts to the left or right will turn the jet in flight, hopefu

Editors' Picks: If You Could Have Only Three RC Cars

By the RC Car Action team As editors of RC Car Action, we are fortunate (and very appreciative, mind you) to have access to almost any RC car or truck out there.

Where Can I Find A Diecast GTO ?

Where can I find a diecast GTOThe legendary Pontiac GTO was what many consider to be the first muscle car. Stuffing a large 389 V8 engine into a intermediate sized body was a formula for performance, and sales success. This formula was followed by many other manufacturers after the GTO came into existence. The goat was one of a few cars of the day to use multiple carburetors, besides the Chevy Corvette. The original production run of the GTO was from 1964 to 1974. Some highlights were the 1969 Judge, available with an optional Ram Air IV engine, and for 1970 a 455 cubic inch engine option. Fast forward to the present day. Muscle car prices are out of s
