There’s only one reason why you’re reading this, and it’s because you have certain misgivings about joining radio controlled car forums. The most obvious benefit to joining radio controlled car forums is to make more friends. You’re probably not after that so here are other reasons that can change your mind:
Reason #1: Learn Something New
Two brains work better than one. If you live in a neighborhood that’s scarce of radio controlled car enthusiasts like yourself, there’s nobody to ask when you have a problem or two with your cherished toys. If you join a radio controlled car forum, however, you’re sure to find the answer you’re looking for.
Reason #2: Meet Legends
Yes, yes, we know you might be a little bit anti-social or a bit of a wallflower but radio controlled car forums may just be the ticket for you to meet radio controlled car modeling legends! There are only a few opportunities in this life for you to meet the greatest and the best of radio controlled car racers and manufacturers. If registering an account in a forum and hanging out for a couple of hours every week in a particular site is all that you need to do, is that too much to ask?
Reason #3: Get Discounts
Yes, some radio controlled car forums can provide discounts for their members. Just think of it! You can build your dream toy simply by joining a forum! Of course, don’t let anybody know you’re only after that. People might start thinking you’re selfish and materialistic. Give the forum a chance; you might have fun as well.
Reason #4: Gain More Racing Experience
Let’s go back to the neighborhood with a scarce human supply of remote controlled car enthusiasts. Without birds of the same feather around you, how else can you gain racing experience? In a radio controlled car forum, however, you’ll have all the experience you wish. You don’t even have to be friendly; all you have to do is let your remote controlled car do the talking.
Tips on Radio Controlled Car Forum Etiquette
If you don’t feel comfortable yet talking to other people in the forum, you could just keep silent and enjoy reading the tips, stories, and debates of other members.
Always be polite and considerate of other members’ feelings. It may seem like common sense but there are just some crazy people out there who seem to delight in being rude.
So, what do you think? Care to give radio controlled car forums a try?

Wow, that takes skill! Do you fly 3d?

cool flying…nice one
Oooook. Short answer, is you can't. Long answer is; Each remote car, and remote car radio handset has a crystal in it. The crystal in the remote car, and the handset it came with are identical, producing the same frequency and running your car. However, the cheap remote car radio handset your purchased has a very slightly different crystal, it is still 49mhz, but it may be 49.174 while the one you had before was 49.566. Basically this means that you wont be able to get control of the car with a different handset. However, hobby grade cars have the crystals visibly on the outside of the radio handset. IF this is the case, you can remove the crystal from the handset, and switch it with another. Same with the car, IF ITS HOBBYGRADE you can take the top of, the crystal will be poking out of a small black box, the reciever. IF this is the case, you can swap the crystals around. However if what you've got is two toys cars, im sorry to say it, your stuffed. If you need more info, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remote_control_car#Toy-grade_radio_control
Unless you are "allowed" to build your own RC remote/receiver, hacking an existing RC remote will be a pain in the butt. Of course if you are allowed to build from the ground up, you have tons of options.
first if it has a a starter than put batteries in it
then put the nitro in the vehicle
then try starting it with the starter
(if problem persistce than wiggle the exauhst pipe until exauhst is moving out freely)
if this still does not help than im sorry i cant help
With a very good sense of imagination..

No – we where really twisted when we did this – not straight -
I’m in australia you silly billy – the stearing wheel is on the right hand side
Go to a prof. hobbies shop, if they don't have the whole kit they should have the control transmitter and receivers you need.
lol, it would suck if it crashed, like if it hit a light post or something. How the hell do you drive at the same time?
It’s a great idea for long road trips.
If it was just an electric toy car, you would increase the voltage the motor is getting and it would go faster. But being remote control, it has some electronics in it that could be damaged by higher voltage.
But there is always a way. Do you know much about electronics? You need to wire in a relay between the motor and the control box. You wire it so that the control box doesn't send power to the motor any more, it just sends a little power to the relay to "trip" it (a relay is just a switch that it turned on by electricity – you can get one at Radio Shack).
Say your car runs on 6 volts. You would hook up some batteries with say, 12 volts, and connect one of the wires to the relay, the other wire to the motor, and then run a wire from the relay to the other motor wire. Now, when you press the button on the remote to make it go, the controller in the car will turn on the relay. The relay will connect the 12-volt power to the motor, and off it goes, twice as fast as before.
You might even consider running it at 18 volts. To do this, get 4 or 6 rechargeable 9-volt batteries. Connect them in series pairs – two batteries to make 18 volts, then two more in series, with this series connected in parallel to the first. The more batteries you have in series, the faster it will go. The more you have in parallel, the longer it will run.
Hope this helps!

I have always wanted to do that.
Oh, lol.
So the camera person is driving? It ain’t that hard to drive straight
thats what I call multi-tasking.
