Remote control cars have always been popular in the toy industry, especially in recent years, more and more remote control car enthusiasts have emerged, including many children. So in order to make everyone more familiar with this toy activity, today we will discuss the knowledge about remote control cars.
How many driving methods are there for remote control model cars?
Remote control model cars are generally classified according to the power source used:
Most common remote control model cars: Electrical Power, referred to as EP
As the name suggests, the electric remote control model car uses the accelerator as power, outputs electric energy to the electric motor, and the motor then pushes the car.
Electric remote-controlled model cars are the first choice for many beginners. First, the electric car is easy to charge. As long as the car’s battery is fully charged, it can drive the car. Second, the inertia of electric cars is small, and the control skills are easy to master among “started cars”. Third, the speed of electric vehicles is very fast and can easily reach more than 60KM.
Compared with gasoline vehicles, electric vehicles have good linear output and flexible control, are light in weight and are faster in corners. If the competition venue has many curves and short straights, the single lap time of electric vehicles is often faster than that of gasoline vehicles.
The precision and sensitivity of competition-level electric vehicles are very amazing. Most of the frames are made of carbonized fiber, and most of the metal parts are: titanium alloy and the highest grade aluminum alloy. The entire vehicle has more than 12 adjustable parts to adapt to different venues. Strive to maximize the potential of the frame!
4 remote control car maintenance matters!
1. Check carefully
It is necessary to inspect the car before taking off to avoid further damage. Make sure critical parts or screws are tight enough, if not, these parts will need to be recalibrated. Make sure the lithium battery is working well. If there is a safety hazard, replace the battery immediately.
2. Clean in time
The rc car may be filled with sand and mud after driving or drifting from muddy dunes. If not cleaned immediately, the life of your car will be shortened and parts will be susceptible to serious wear and tear.
After the remote control car is driven, the power should be turned off first and then the battery should be removed. If the battery pack still has half a charge, it should be discharged and then stored in a special fireproof bag. But please be careful not to over-discharge, otherwise it will damage the battery.
3. Check and clean tires regularly
There are many different tires suitable for different types of terrain. Therefore, you need to change the tires according to the venue where the RC car is suitable. It protects the wheels from unnecessary damage.
Additionally, it is crucial to clean your tires regularly. First, you can clean your tires with warm water and a toothbrush, which can easily remove dirt. Then wash and brush again with soap and the remaining dirt will be completely removed. Only by cleaning the wheels regularly can your car maintain high performance.
4. Clean the motor
In addition to the RC tires, the motor is a critical part that needs careful cleaning. Just like tires, there’s a lot of dirt on the inside of motors. Therefore, you can use a brush blower to remove dust. In short, regular cleaning is essential to extend the life of your car and related parts.
What should you pay attention to when collecting remote control racing cars?
Remote control racing cars are memories of our childhood and are boys’ favorite toys. The prices of older remote-controlled racing cars are only increasing, so more people collect remote-controlled racing cars out of nostalgia rather than for profit through collection.
If it is out of nostalgia and the remote control racing car is the same model that I played in the past, even if the performance of the car is not as good as before, I can recall my happy childhood through this old remote control racing car.
Notes on collection:
- Remove the battery to prevent the liquid in the battery from damaging the internal electronic components of the remote control car.
- Prepare a shelf or cabinet to prevent the remote control racing car from falling to the ground. Because even if the remote control racing car does not disintegrate, cracks on the shell of the remote control racing car will affect the viewing experience.
How to pair children’s toy off-road remote control cars?
Nowadays, many people buy off-road remote control cars for their children. After all, off-road remote control cars are still very popular among children, but many parents and children encounter several problems when matching toy cars and remote controls. So how to pair children’s toy off-road remote control cars?
Normally, most toy remote control cars should use radio pairing.
General toy remote control cars have low transmitting and receiving power due to power consumption. Except for thick walls and metal walls, ordinary small obstacles can be crossed. In addition, if there is a strong electromagnetic interference source, the remote control will also fail. In addition, due to the limited power of remote control toys, generally speaking, they will naturally fail if the distance exceeds about 50 meters.
The TV uses an infrared remote control, which has a wavelength range and is highly directional. It is easy to be blocked, but it is not easy to cause interference. Remote control cars use radio, which has a longer wavelength and is not easily blocked, but the interference between them is severe.
How to maintain and repair children’s remote control cars?
Generally, we often see children playing with remote control cars in parks or communities. This kind of children’s remote control car usually gets bumped frequently, so it needs to be well maintained on a daily basis.
After children play, clean up the dirty things on the children’s remote control car in time. Wipe the surface of the car as clean as possible with a cloth, and wash the wheels with clean water. Remember not to put the entire car in water, otherwise the parts inside will be damaged.
If the car is not cleaned immediately and simply thrown away, the service life of the car will be shortened and the parts will be prone to serious wear and tear.
In addition, children’s remote control cars are prone to malfunctions during use. Once this happens, we must first check whether the battery has output, then check whether the safety holder is damaged, and then check whether there is any problem with the power lock. If there is any, just repair it in time.
When playing with children’s remote control cars, you may also encounter the situation that the car has power, but the car does not move. If this is the case, let’s first check whether the remote control car battery output is normal or not. If the output is too low, it means that the battery is broken, and it should be replaced in time, and then the car’s brake cable should be disconnected. If the car spins, it proves that the handlebar is broken and needs to be repaired.
Summarize
Children’s remote control cars are actually the same as large cars. If you want to use them for a longer time, daily maintenance is very important. Finally, I hope everyone can have fun playing with the remote control car!
