No matter who you are; an adult who is interested in getting started with a hobby on your own or you are just concerned with getting your child or grandchild interested in the hobby, RC cars have been a source of fun for many generations.
The initial RC cars were innovated to the people in the 1960s. The cars that we are familiar with today are much different from the ones that were traded during that time, however because the public had never seen anything like them, they were very popular at that time.
The 1970s was truly a decade of change for RC cars. During the early part of the decade Mardave; a British company started to manufacture RC cars. Not much time thereafter, many companies in the United States started manufacturing RC cars as well. It was during this time that the first 1/8 nitro powered RC car kits were developed. The most fashionable of all of these RC cars was the K&B Veco McCoy. As time went on, producers experimented with a assortment of distinct types of RC cars as well as suspension systems, engines and fuel tanks.
The golden year of RC cars is considered to be 1976. It was during this time that a Japanese company known as Tamiya started to make RC cars. Prior to that time Tamiya had made extremely elaborated mini car models. The first RC cars presented by Tamiya were quite dear, nonetheless they were also highly fashionable. The early Tamiya models have since graduated to become collector’s items. Some of these models are liable of fetching prices of $3,000 and even beyond. Tamiya has since released some of the earliest and most popular of their models. Those models were sold out just as cursorily as the premier models.
Since the 1970s, manufacturers around the globe have made tremendous strides in the production of RC cars. There are an imaginable variery of RC cars today. Not only can you select distinct scales of RC cars but you can also choose from among nitro fueled, gas fueled and electric fueled cars. There are also many distinct models of full-size cars represented in the form of RC cars, permitting enthusiasts to finally own their dream car no matter how fantastic or pricy the full size model might seem to be. From entry level models to more high-priced models, RC cars are still just as fashionable as ever.
Watch the video related to remote control car
Full blog post with info at: guysoft.wordpress.com This video shows you have I took a remote control car and hacked it to control it with a program written in C, using a Linux application. The chips used are 16F84 PIC, a 7805 regulator, and a 4066 switch (has 4 ports).
Help answer the question about remote control car
is it okay to travel with remote control car?My husband and i are travelling to Egypt and we have a remote control car and a remote control airplane for our nephew. Does any know if it will cause any problems having it in our checked luggage? Has anyone else travelled with something similiar? I dont want any problems.
thanks!

fake at the end,u can c it because everything else speeds up as well.Including the 200mph birds in the background
wow, the bird in the backround must be going M-10. CHEESE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Get a life!! This has to be the worst hobby anyone can think of. Why don’t you get someone to jump-rope as the car (thing) goes round. That wuld be entertaining to watch somebody jump like a GD fool!
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.
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
200 MPH eh? Goes well with the 200 MPH birds flying in the background.
i would be scared to be the guy that starts it up
that was light speed or i have bad seeing
oh my fucking god its smokeing
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..
Try BestBuy or Radio Shack (if they even still sell things like that).

Go to a prof. hobbies shop, if they don't have the whole kit they should have the control transmitter and receivers you need.
OMG!!!!!
you can see the wings on the “flies” around 0:56 the light under the flag starts to blink really fast too, but who knows.
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!
