The different types of RC cars
As a novice RC car owner, I had no idea there were different types of RC cars each having its own function. There are actually many people that build their own RC race car and then race them against other model builders. In understanding what the different classifications of RC cars are, this may help the RC racer develop a better model.
RC race cars are put into classifications according to the type of fuel the car uses and the type of terrain the car will be racing on. Knowing what type of classification their car may end up in, and understanding its power source and terrain capability, will also help the RC racer add an edge to their competitiveness.
Electric RC race cars are usually lighter in weight than their gas powered counter parts. These models are also more responsive to the controls so the racer will be able to react faster to different track conditions. Also, because it is a cleaner way to power the vehicle, electric RC cars are easier to maintain than the gas powered models. Unfortunately, being electric, RC race car owners will need to take into consideration the amount of time it will take to recharge the batteries or have a way of changing out battery packs so there isn't as much "down" time. Also, the overall speed capability of the electric RC cars are not that as the gas powered ones.
Nitro RC Race cars have a small engine powered by Nitromethane and lubricant as the fuel. These cars can be extremely fast reaching record breaking speeds. They run for a long period of time and are easy to refuel which gives them the advantage of electric RC race cars. The down side to this type of RC race car is due to the combustion process the fuel must go through to make the car run. The combustion produces a lot of smoke and noise, so these cars may not be used inside. Also, it provides a lot of build up inside of the car so cleaning must be down carefully and is time consuming.
Outside of the power source classifying the RC race cars, the terrain puts the cars in certain classifications also. On road RC race cars can compete on paved race tracks. These cars can achieve and maintain the top speeds during the race but only if used on a paved track.
Off road RC race cars are designed as their name suggests: to be used off road. These cars can grip the ground much better than on road cars and so therefore are capable of reaching and maintaining top off road speed. These cars handle well during races that have obstacles or mounds.
As you can see, there are a few things to take into consideration when choosing your RC race car. The best question to ask is where would you have the must fun racing? If it is indoors and a paved track, an electric on road RC car would be the answer. If you prefer outdoors and off road, the Nitro off road RC would be a great way to go. Whichever you choose, you are sure to have fun!

Different Types Of Remote Control Cars
When people think of remote control cars they usually think of small electric cars which are given as a present to a son or daughter and fly around the living room, around the household obstacles and scare the family cat. Over the years, there has been an increase in the popularity of these RC cars due to the increase in technology, lowing of costs and the fantastic designs which companies come up with. What people do not realise is that remote control cars vary greatly from the family RC Cars as mentioned previous, nitro cars which run on nitro fuel and petrol remote control cars which run on unleaded petrol.
With the general family remote control car, you are usually required to either insert batteries into the car and the radio control handset, or charge a rechargeable battery inside the car but still put normal batteries in the controller. This has the advantage over the other models in that they can be recharged over and over again and does not cost anymore, apart from paying for the electric which is next to nothing. These cars range from cars which costs a few £'s to cars which are more specialised which can cost around £80. The only other cost is buying new batteries when they stop charging as they do not last forever, but even that costs is not much at all for a pack of 4.
Next on the family tree of remote control cars are nitro cars, which are designed for people who have had a few years experience of rc cars and either are looking for the next car up, or into competition racing or something in-between. Nitro rc cars require running in, just like a normal road car in that the parts are new and the fuel and lubricants needs to run through the car, which can be a time consuming and at times a frustrating process. This is due to the car possibly stalling, stuttering or just not moving at all which requires problem solving but once the car is up and running, can be extremely fast and outrun a top of the range electric car on acceleration. When it comes to full on racing, they are usually neck and neck but can be tweaked like normal cars to give even more speed.
They run on nitro fuel which is purchased from model shops, and a bottle gives around 3-4 full fuel tanks worth so around a hours racing. It only takes a minute to refuel, but on a downside the cars need constant maintenance and servicing to keep them in good condition, again like normal road cars.
The last on the family tree are petrol remote control cars which most people never really think of, as they are for huge fans and defiantly a big boys toy. At a length of around a meter, these cars are big. Running on actual unleaded petrol, they are actually cheaper to run than nitro cars but do still need attention to maintenance and servicing. Not the kind of remote control car you will find in the high street stores, but mainly from specialised retails.

Remote Control Car Motors
All types of racing cars have different types of motors. Some have single or some have double. It is really confusing to try to sort out the difference between a single our double motor car. Plus a newbie into the world of remote control cars gets easily disoriented with what is a 13 turn double or a 13 turn single…?
Well, in plain speaking language it refers to number of times the wires are wrapped around the armature. A 13 turn double would be 2 strands wrapped 13 times. A 13 turn single would be 1 wire wrapped 13 times. The double wires have more torque where as single wires have more speed. In general, it means that more turns means more torque but less speed and vice versa. That’s lower turns means lower torque and greater RPM. The number of winds describes how abruptly the motor accelerates. Fewer winds would mean less abrupt acceleration and more winds would lead to smoother accelerations.
Torque basically refers to how much a force is acting on motor that causes motor to rotate. If there is more than one force acting on a motor then each of these forces shall apply torque. The net torque acting upon the motor shall be the sum total of all the forces or torques acting upon a motor. It is usually required for cars racing on the twisted tracks.
Remote control cars come with two kinds of motors: the ones with brush and ones without i.e. Brushless. The brushless motor has windings located around the outside of the motor and the magnets are located on the moving motor shaft. A brushless motor does not provide any friction therefore provides higher RPM. But a brushless requires a lot of processing power that’s why it has not been a great success with RC trucks or cars.
The slot less and brushless motors are third generation motors. With slot less design, motor can achieve higher efficiency, torque, fast response time and longer life time with greater with zero maintenance. Cogging problem is also eliminated even at lower speed operation. But since there is a lot of research and development involved in their development they come out as expensive solution in case of RC cars.
There are also sensor less and motors with sensors. Sensor motors are older technology with less cogging, less rpm and less power. On the other hand sensor less motors are newer technology with more power and more rpm. Both have difference of cogging on start up. This can prove to be a little troublesome when you are in a race. It seems like forever for a sensor motor to start up. But sensor less motor gives smoother throttle response, efficient running and a fewer wires to mess up with.
Remote control cars have a lot to do with the motors and their functioning. When preparing for a race, checking out on motors can be really helpful. If your car is heavy then may be a motor with more torque would be required. A speedy light action racer would need a greater rpm. Connections and wires to all the motors need to be properly fixed and checked. If you have some cash to spare for the race then going in for the slot less motor can be good idea.
