Whether its an RC car or an rtr RC truck, the fundamental mechanics of the vehicle remain more or less similar. And that is just a reflection of reality for if you take a close look at your sedan and the local bus, you will find that except for size, the core parts and functions that go into either of these vehicles are approximately the same. And so is the case with an RC car or an rtr RC truck and therefore its of great importance that you completely understand what goes into your RC car if you aspire to become the ultimate RC cars racing champion.

There are four distinct parts that are the essence of an RC vehicle be it RC cars, rtr RC trucks or RC trailers. And these are the transmitter, the receiver, the motor and the power source. Without any of them, your RC vehicle would just be like a paper weight, immobile except when physically dislocated. So lets just go over the basics once again and you should hold these close to your heart, no matter whether its RC cars or rtc RC trucks that you are passionate about, for while the flesh may be different, the blood is the same!

The transmitter as the name suggests is the remote control for your machine, usually powered by a 9 volt battery for steady transmission. Transmitting via radio frequencies, you can control the speed and the steering and other add on features if you have them, be it your RC car or rtr RC truck or your RC trailer. Its just the same DNA! The receiver which is on the vehicle would typically have 2 parts – an antenna and a circuit board. The receiver catches the signals from the transmitter and sends it to the circuit board which interprets the signal and effects the corresponding action in the RC car. Like the engine in the real car, you will find a motor in a radio controlled vehicle which will power the machine forward. The motor comes in a variety of sizes and shapes, and to put simply is the ultimate core of your speed demon! And not to forget the power souRCe, which is the oxygen for every moving part in the radio controlled vehicle. Everything from your steering to your lights to your motor draws power from the power source!

Now that you know what your RC car or rtr RC truck is made of, you are in an advantageous position to take your baby to its ultimate limit! Burn the rubber, eat the road and feel your adrenalin take you to places you have never been before!
