A brushed motor is pretty much the answer when it comes to affordable and reliable performance. They may not have the lifespan and efficiency of their brushless counterparts, but are they waterproof? Generally, brushed RC motors are not inherently waterproof, but some manufacturers offer waterproof or water-resistant versions. So it depends on the specific motor … Read more
Brushless motors have become increasingly popular because of their efficiency, reliability, and durability. Unlike traditional brushed motors that rely on physical brushes for commutation, brushless motors use electronic controllers for precise control. Three wires (red (A), blue (B), and yellow (C)) control the 3-phases. The red wire carries current to one stator phase, the blue … Read more
For radio-controlled RC cars, the choice of the motor plays a crucial role in their performance and overall driving experience. The two main types of motors for RC vehicles are brushed and brushless motors. Brushed motors have brushes and a commutator for electrical contact. Brushless motors use electronic commutation. Brushed motors are less efficient, require … Read more
If you’re a Traxxas RC car owner, you may have come across a Traxxas ESC blinking red. This problem can be frustrating, especially when you’re eager to hit the road or track with your beloved RC vehicle. So let’s look into the reasons your Traxxas ESC might be blinking red and provide all the solutions … Read more
RC suspension tuning is an important aspect of optimizing the performance of RC hobbyists and enthusiasts. It involves adjusting the suspension system to enhance the car’s handling, stability, and overall performance on different surfaces and terrains. You can achieve better traction, smoother handling, and faster lap times by tweaking the suspension setup. Let’s explore the … Read more
One of the key aspects of an RC car’s performance is its suspension system, which affects the car’s handling, stability, and ability to navigate different terrains. Let’s explore the different types of suspensions and what makes each one special. There are five suspension types used in RC cars. Independent, solid axle, four-link, torsion bar, cantilever … Read more
Oil-filled shocks give your RC car the best control over bumpy surfaces. For toy-grade RC cars, springs are used to absorb shocks, but they don’t work so well and cause a very bouncy ride. So oil-filled shocks are the best, but what about the oil that goes inside? RC shock oil is a lot more … Read more
RC shock oil is a specialized lubricant used in the shock absorbers of remote-controlled (RC) vehicles. The shock absorbers are responsible for controlling the suspension system and absorbing impact from jumps and bumps in the terrain. The shock oil is important because it plays a critical role in determining the performance of the suspension system. … Read more
The oil inside a shock absorber is a key component for the shock to work properly. If the shocks become empty without you realizing it, you will damage the rest of your car. So replacing the oil in the shocks is important for maintaining your car. In short, you can change RC shock oil by … Read more
Radio-controlled cars are great fun, but they are not immune from the occasional problem. A common problem experienced by most RC car owners is a remote control that is not working or a car that is not responding to the remote control. If you are experiencing this common issue, there are several potential solutions that … Read more
