R/C Tips & Tricks

Electric’s

  1. Stay Soft

    The next time you’re cleaning your car pick up some Armor All® Vinyl Protectant. Spray the Armor All into a soft towel or rag and run it over your car’s speed control, battery, motor, and radio wires. Not only will your wires be clean; they’ll stay soft and pliable longer.

  2. Threading Antenna Tubes

    If you have trouble putting your antenna through the tube, put some black grease on the entrance of the tube to lube it.

  3. Dry Receiver

    Put your receiver in a balloon to prevent it getting dirty.

  4. On-Off Switch

    Position the on/off switch so that when the switch is ON, it is towards the back of the car. That way if a rock or something hits it as your driving, it won’t turn off. Even better is to position it LAYING DOWN and FACING BACKWARDS in the chassis.

  5. Spiral Leads

    Make your car look like a Factory Car from the inside. Take the wires that go to the receiver and wrap them around an Allen wrench. This will make a "spiral" and look much neater.

  6. Excess Antenna Wire?

    Have too much antenna wire? Cut a pop-sicle stick and wrap the excess antenna around it before you put it into the tube.

  7. Lost Antenna Cap

    Lost your antenna tube cap? Put a piece of fuel tubing over the top instead.

  8. Crystal Storage

    Keep your spare crystals safe and organised by storing them in a seven-day pill container, each pair in a different day.

  9. Crystal Storage 2

    Store spare crystals in old X-Atco blade cases for protection.
