Info for anyone wondering how to get into RC cars. I explain the different components of RC cars and possible price points to get entry into the hobby.

Good instructional video 🙂 – i’m a bit miffed about the voltages you list
for the LiPo-cells. The stated voltage on the packs is the /nominal/
voltage. The 3.7V/3.8V you mention is the storage voltage for the cells.
Upper cutoff is always 4.2V, but lower is 3,2V, and even 3.0V if you charge
them up immediately afterwards. Using them down to 3.8V will only use about
45% of the rated capacity, which is a bit sad.
+DUCKYSDOLL try a ecx ruckus or torment 1/18th they go for 100$ tipically
that’s fast for the beetle, how many batteries did you put to make the car
faster
can u send me the link for the better car?
I have a vortex ss buggy from Redcat and I won it in a race competing with
another ex
Just saying that the 3 wires coming off motor means that is and ac motor

it????
Very Useful video for me!!!!!!! Thanks
try out nitrorcx people good cheap cars like look at some brushed SCT they
are pretty cheap
THEY ALL ARE RCS they are just honor grade and TOY GRADE
How would a 3-fase DC motor work? does it simply not go negative like a AC
motor? Since you need a controller, I’d be inclined to say it is AC… How
are they different?
nice kid
Thanks, good overview to get started!
fuck you
what i always KNOW hobby RC car IS FASTER, CAN UPGRADES, AND HAVE BETTER
QUALITY. and also in this video the buggy is it 1/18 or 1/16 because its so

Nope, it is indeed a brushless DC motor which takes three phase DC, it
operates almost identically to a three phase AC motor.
Nice truck
Have a savage xl
Kids are useful way to keep them engaged.
im thinking of buying maybe an electric drifter for about 100$ which is a
good price, im 13 years old and want to have fun but i dont really know how
