The Various Types Of RC Cars
Radio controlled cars, remote controlled cars or RC cars and trucks are devices, with which to have fun. However, some RC hobbyists take their fun very seriously indeed. They want their RC car or truck to be the most realistic or the fastest by tweaking the basic kit and by tuning up the engine. This is not a new phenomenon at all. Hobbyists have been making and racing model cars since the 1940’s. However, these early cars were hamstrung by technology.
In the early days of the hobby, the models had to be made by hand by hobbyists and radio control was ineffective and too dear for home use. Those early models were controlled remotely by wire. Consequently remote controlled model cars could only run the distance of the wire, which meant in effect that the car went round and round the handler. It was not until the 1960’s that radio control became available and this meant real races around a proper race track. The true hobby-cum-sport of model racing was born.
Once the hobby or sport had been opened up by genuine radio control, it became more exhilarating and it attracted more hobbyists and with them came innovation and commercial interest. This means that the technology involved in radio controlled cars and trucks has come on in leaps and bounds. One point worth mentioning here is that a big demarcation between model cars used to be whether they were remote controlled or radio controlled. Unfortunately, they are both shortened to RC and so the terms are often used indiscriminately these days.
The most popular RC cars for beginners are the electrically driven model cars and trucks. Electric RC cars have to depend on rechargeable batteries for power. This is their main drawback, but being electrically driven also means that the car is cleaner and more responsive to control. Electrically driven cars tend to be lighter and therefore faster. They are cleaner because there is no exhaust. They are easier to maintain, but also less easy to modify. They accelerate extremely quickly
