Tutorials | A Beginner's Guide to Racing Radio Control (RC) Cars.
In this video, we have explained the basic setup that have to be checked before starting the RC nitro car so that you can enjoy driving continuously without any hassle.
Some pre-requisites can be the following -
The Glow plug has to be changed or replaced if it’s not red hot as shown and also the ignitor should be charged as well.
The priming is necessary always i.e. the fuel must be passed through the fuel line.
The electronics must be checked, both the servos must be working properly and the battery of receiver must be charged.
Fuelling Your Nitro RC Car :
Nitro RC cars run on a blended fuel easily available at local hobby shops or online. It is made up of a blend of methyl alcohol (methanol), nitro-methane (nitro), and oil.
In order to understand how nitro fuel work, you need to know
what each of these three components does for the car:
• Methanol provides the main power to the engine and is the main
ingredient in model fuel. It has an ignition point that allows it to be
ignited with the kinds of platinum-element glow plugs used in RC engines and it releases more energy per pound of air than gasoline. Because it’s easy to get, it’s not expensive—you’ll find model fuel much more reasonably priced than regular gas.
• Nitro-methane is added to assist the idle and acceleration and to enhance power output. Nitro is referred to as a “hot fuel,” and is only used in small amounts in model fuels. It can be explosive if not handled correctly, so take care to read the fuel tips offered here, and always follow the manufacturer’s instructions when filling up your RC.
• Oil is need as a source of lubricant for all the moving parts in the engine. Here 2-stroke and 4-stroke engines will require different fuels, since 2-stroke engines have no separate oil reservoir, and need oil mixed in with their fuel. There are two types of oil found in model fuels- castor oil and synthetic oil. These can be used by themselves or in a blend, with synthetics being far more common these days. This is mainly because synthetics are cheaper and less gummy than castor oil, which used to be the only used. For some engines, a blend with a large percentage of castor oil may work best, since it is actually a better lubricant at higher temperatures. The synthetics are far less messy, however, and leave less
gum on your engine. You’ll be able to choose from blends of synthetic and castor oil that vary in their percentages- try out a few to find one that runs your engine best.
Edurade also conducts workshops and training on Nitro RC Car Assembling and Dismantling.
