Do it yourself - for many, this phrase is associated primarily with a jigsaw for metal, a soldering iron and other hand-made tools. It is really possible to make your own model from absolute scratch - grinding every detail yourself - but it is a rather complicated, time-consuming and very demanding process on your own skills. Therefore, now we will talk about a simpler and more accessible option: how to collect radio-controlled car at home.

How it works?

Modern radio-controlled models can be divided into two large groups:

• RTR. Fully ready-to-use typewriters,. That is, took the model out of the box, put the battery in - and off you go to the races;
• Kit. Delivery option for advanced users: instead of the assembled machine, a set of spare parts comes, to which you add your own - custom - spare parts, eventually assembling the model of your dreams yourself.

Note : the option in which you buy all spare parts separately is not much different from. You just do not use ready-made kits, but, nevertheless, you use factory spare parts.

Why do you even need a DIY RC model? Exactly the same as any custom: to stand out in the crowd, to make your car unique. Moreover, assembly from ready-made parts is less demanding on skill than “working with a file”.

What parts do you need?

As a rule, if you have chosen a Kit, then only the chassis and case are included in its package. Additionally, you will need ( we are considering an option with an electric machine):

• Engine;
• Radio equipment: control panel, receiver, telemetry;
• Wheels;
• Battery;
• Discs, inserts, etc.

Ultimately, it all depends on the specific kit for assembling a radio-controlled model of a car with your own hands: some, for example, do not have a body, and it is purchased separately.

Is it difficult to build a Kit?

It is at the stage of assembling Kit'a that difficulties usually arise: the parts are numbered, detailed instructions are included with them - do everything carefully, and there will be no problems. Difficulties most often arise when combining the chassis with the rest of the components, so we advise again: before buying an engine and other spare parts attentively study the selected Kit and its characteristics. An excellent choice would be to read thematic forums: surely someone has already worked with this Kit - and, most likely, this someone will willingly share their experience.

Plastic or aluminum?

The answer to this question largely depends on which brand we are talking about, but more on that below. If we compare "in a vacuum" - and good plastic with good aluminum - the picture looks like this:

• Plastic: lighter, better absorbing impact, regains its shape after collisions. But, at the same time, with too strong a blow, the plastic cracks and breaks, it will be almost impossible to repair it - a part for replacement. In addition, over time, the seats of the shafts and bearings loosen on plastic parts, which causes backlash - again you have to change the part;
• Aluminum... It is repairable and practically does not deform over time, but good aluminum costs more than good plastic. Bad aluminum is usually quite fragile and literally crumbles at a level of stress that high-quality plastic will not even notice. And it costs about the same.

Parts manufacturers

There are three most interesting brands:

• RPM. The best plastic on the market. Perfect quality, high strength, exceptional durability - what it takes to make an indestructible rc model with your own hands. The brand has only two drawbacks: the high price and the obvious imprisonment for American cars, like, most likely, RPM spare parts cannot be supplied to the "Chinese";
• Integy. Aluminum parts, good balance between price and quality. If you still prefer metal to plastic, you may well think about choosing this brand. Well, yes: aluminum looks great!
• Pro-Line... Another great - and quite versatile - brand. The best choice if you are going to work with non-American Kit. Among the advantages of the brand: 5 years on the market, a bunch of awards, a very wide range of products and an acceptable pricing policy.

General conclusions on do-it-yourself typewriters

If you follow the instructions carefully and take your time, there is nothing prohibitively difficult in assembling an RC model yourself. The main thing is to use high-quality components from a well-known brand, they fall into place without any problems. Well, we recommend starting with Kit'a simpler, and then, having received the first experience, raise the custom bar.

To become the happy owner of a powerful and reliable toy controlled from a distance is the dream of not only many children, but also some parents. Today, manufacturers are ready to offer a variety of entertainment that can surprise even the most sophisticated young consumers. Radio-controlled equipment can be a wonderful gift, and if properly used, it can last for a long time.

Among the large number of models, radio-controlled gasoline cars deserve special attention, since the power and reliability indicators of these products are among the highest. The features of these popular toys, their technical characteristics and types will be discussed further.

What is a Remote Controlled Petrol Car?

First of all, it should be said that such a product is almost complete, but only a reduced copy of a conventional vehicle. These cars also run on gasoline, while the maximum speeds are really impressive, with some models easily accelerating to 80 km / h. However, it is worth noting the fact that such mechanisms periodically require repair, just like ordinary cars, so the process of "driving" should be approached with all seriousness.

Of course, it is not recommended to use such toys indoors, since their full potential can only be assessed in open areas, for example, on asphalt roads.

The main characteristics of gasoline cars on radio control

There are many varieties of these models: these are cars for road racing, and buggies, and samples designed exclusively for drifting, which will be discussed a little later. This or that radio-controlled car with a gasoline engine has its own characteristics.

So, a distinctive feature of these models is the remote control. For radio-controlled samples, its maximum range of interaction with a typewriter is usually about 150 m.

Another unique detail is the gasoline engine, which can vary in power output. The scope of its operation depends on what type of motor is installed in a particular model.

If we compare gasoline cars on radio control in size, then we can safely distinguish both children's reduced products and large toys that are more suitable for adult lovers of such technology.

What should the choice of a gasoline radio-controlled car depend on?

In order for the acquired technique to bring only joy, you should first carefully study the entire range of products and focus on the most suitable one. When choosing a car for a child, you must be guided primarily by his age, but it is also worth thinking about how he will use the toy. If the main requirement for a product is speed, then it is best to choose a road model, and an off-road model is ideal for overcoming obstacles.

The younger the child, the easier it should be to operate. It is better to refuse to purchase highly sensitive devices so that the owner of the machine does not experience problems. In this case, you should pay attention to the size of the product, since some gasoline cars with radio control are quite voluminous, which can be very inconvenient for a small child. Large models are ideal for adults.

Correct operation of a remote-controlled petrol machine

In order for such a toy to last as long as possible, you need to responsibly approach its content. Do not forget that it is very problematic for a child to cope with such a technique, therefore it is better if an adult is always there. Of course, all repair and maintenance work (replacing fuel, oil, lubricating parts, etc.) must also be performed by parents, not only because of the risk of equipment breakdown, but also because harmful fuel vapors are dangerous for the child's body.

Many radio-controlled gasoline cars are sold disassembled, so it is extremely important to follow the instructions provided when assembling such products. In addition, safety rules exclude any games near sources of fire and open water.

Features and Benefits of RC Drift Cars

As mentioned earlier, remote-controlled fuel-fueled vehicles may differ depending on their intended use. So, radio-controlled gasoline drift cars are very popular among consumers. These models are liked by both adults and children, and their difference from ordinary high-speed toys lies in the following technical characteristics:

• such gasoline cars are equipped with special shock absorbers with drift springs;
• the tires of these products do not have a tread pattern and are more rigid than conventional models;
• as a rule, the basis of the body of such a toy is shockproof plastic, as well as a durable bumper that protects the equipment from impacts;
• the special design of the pendants allows the implementation of various technical elements.

How not to be mistaken when choosing a gasoline drift car?

Radio-controlled toy cars designed specifically for such purposes should not be bought for a very small child, since the minimum age of the owner should be 3 years.

Also, remember that there are no completely universal models. This means that when purchasing a toy car for drifting, you should not expect any other properties from it, such as high speeds or high cross-country ability.

Another important point is the type of built-in motor. A radio-controlled gasoline car used for drifting (photos of various samples can always be found in specialized printed publications) must have a very powerful motor so that the loads exerted on the model do not harm it. The complete set of a new product, as a rule, assumes that the toy is ready to ride without the need to purchase additional parts.

The main parts of a gasoline car on a remote control

Parents do not always have the opportunity to buy an expensive toy for their child in a store. But if we talk about gasoline cars, then such products can be made independently. The structure of these toys is in many ways similar to the structure of a standard car, so for many drivers the installation process will be clear.

To figure out how to make a radio-controlled gasoline car, you should initially decide what parts you need for this work. So, the following structural parts are included in the package of a standard toy:

• shockproof body;
• gasoline engine of the desired power;
• strong wheels;
• chassis;
• a set of tools in the form of screwdrivers of different sizes.

Assembly features

It is not difficult to make radio-controlled gasoline cars with your own hands. After purchasing the necessary materials, you should start the installation.

When attaching the front wheels to the frame, make sure they turn easily. It is best to choose rubber tires, since it is this material that has the highest quality grip on the road surface.

The body for the car can simply be purchased in the store, but many owners want to create a unique toy and come up with their own sketch of the body, which is subsequently made with the help of a specialist.

When choosing a radio unit for control, you should not save on it, since the quality of this part directly affects the convenience of controlling the vehicle.

By far one of the most important parts of a car is its engine. Gasoline models require careful maintenance, but their power ratings are the highest.

Thus, we can say with confidence that it is quite possible to assemble a radio-controlled car, operating with fuel, with your own hands, the main thing is to have a desire for this and the entire list of necessary parts.

Greetings!

There are a lot of various radio-controlled (RC) equipment in the world, from very simple children's cars on the control panel to huge aircraft models reaching the size of a car. In this article, I want to talk about a part of the RC world called car modeling, about what classes of models there are, what categories they are divided into, where to start, and so on.

Details under the cut. Beware, a lot of traffic.

Model types

Monsters (Monster Truck)

The most popular class of equipment for entertainment.
It is a model with high ground clearance, huge wheels, high center of gravity, and therefore very unstable.
Able to overcome any type of surface, ideal for jumping from trampolines, slides and just for fun in the country.

Buggy

As a rule, four-wheel drive. They are able to overcome any type of surface, while driving on densely packed soil will be the most optimal.
It is this class that is most widely represented in competitions.

Short Course

It is a pickup truck with a short wheelbase and rear wheel drive.
Has a great similarity (copy number) with real cars. Designed for the same surface as the buggy, that is, rolled soil.

Truggy

Something between a buggy and a monster.
It is characterized by the presence of large, widely spaced wheels and low ground clearance. Accordingly, in this class, you can perfectly overcome a variety of obstacles, jumps, uneven ground, while the handling is worse than that of a buggy, but better than that of a monster.
An excellent compromise option.

Crawler

It is characterized by huge ground clearance, the same huge suspension travel, and low speed.
Designed exclusively for accurate and leisurely overcoming obstacles.

Drift

Exceptionally road car.
Designed, as the name implies, for drifting on asphalt.

Rally (rally)

Along with crawlers, a rather rare class of cars.
As a rule, four-wheel drive vehicles. Differ in copy number. Designed for rolled soil.

Trophy

Differs in high copy quantity, full wire - often with continuous bridges, low speed, soft, tenacious tires.
Designed for unhurried overcoming of various obstacles in the form of puddles, mud, swamps.
On popular models, a huge amount of tuning is sold in the form of cans, wheels, bodies, and so on to create an exact copy of a real trophy of cars.

Scale models

Models vary in scale from micro (1:18) to huge 1: 5 or 1: 4 up to 1 meter long.
Models of scale from 1:18 to 1:12 are actually toys and do not participate in competitions, and they are not suitable as a gift for small children and are not intended for riding at home, as they are capable of speeds of 30-35 km / h.
The most interesting and popular scales are 1:10 and 1: 8. It is in these classes that the bulk of the competition and the greatest variety of models are held.
Models of scale 1:10 and 1: 8 can reach 50 cm in length and are not intended for riding in courtyards and crowded places, since they can reach very high speeds (up to 117 km / h HPI Vorza), and together with a mass ( about 4-6 kg) can cause serious injury.
The largest models of 1: 5 scale have, in the overwhelming majority, an internal combustion engine with a volume of 24-28 cm3 and in fact repeat the design of real cars.

Engines

At the moment, car engines have four types of engines:

• Electric brushed motor. Electric motors of a completely standard design with a coil, brushes. It is characterized by low power, often poor reliability and is generally not interesting. It is used on inexpensive small and micro scale models. For 1:18 scale models, it can reach speeds of 25 km / h.
• Electric brushless (valve) motor (BC). It appeared in RC relatively recently, significantly pushing aside traditional models with internal combustion engines, since it produces similar power and, unlike an internal combustion engine, is much easier to operate.
• Glow carburetor engine. Used in models from 1:12 to 1: 8 scale. Fueled with fuel containing from 16% to 30% nitromethane. A very moody engine that needs fine tuning of the carburetor. It is highly not recommended for beginners or those who do not like poking around with technology. The engine is small in volume (a few cubic centimeters), but at the same time it allows you to remove a few horsepower and reach 30,000 - 40,000 rpm.
• Gasoline internal combustion engines. Used in 1: 5 scale models. Fueled with AI 92-95 gasoline. Engines are much less capricious than low-volume glow motors

Prices

The prices for car models, in contrast to aircraft models, have their own clear limits. So the prices for Chinese models 1:18 with collector motors start at 3000 rubles (~ 80 usd). With a more powerful brushless motor, the price reaches 4500 rubles (~ 130usd). The price range for hobby models (not sports) of a more interesting scale (1:10, 1: 8) varies from 10,000 rubles to 25,000 (300 - 700 usd). The most expensive are models of a scale of 1: 5, prices can reach 40 - 70 thousand rubles (1200 - 2000 usd).

Configuration (delivery options)

There are two types of delivery of models:

• RTR - ready to run. Such a complete set means that the model is assembled and completely ready for races. But it should be borne in mind that batteries, charger and so on may not be included in the kit. Usually they are included in the kit only for very budget devices. Also, if you buy a model with an internal combustion engine, you will definitely need to purchase a glow plug, batteries, fuel, a thermometer, and so on.
• Kit. Such a complete set means that for the final assembly of the model, in addition to batteries, chargers, etc., you will need an engine, equipment (remote control with a receiver) wheels, an engine speed regulator, and so on. The whales are for athletes and not for beginners. Such kits are usually supplied in the maximum tuning and it is assumed that the athlete already has all the additional body kit.

Equipment (appa)

One of the most important parts of an RC hobby is hardware: remote control, receiver, telemetry. There are a large number of options on the market from very simple and budget options for 2-channel equipment for 15-20 bucks:

Up to a fancy 4-channel, with telemetry, a bunch of settings and other chips and a price of 600 usd:

The design of a car on the example of my traggie ICE

General picture from the official website:

The model is all-wheel drive. Three differentials. 4.6 cm3 engine, 2.9 hp Two cardan shafts diverging from the center differential to the front and rear. The center differential has two disc brakes. A glow-type engine, which means that to start the engine, the candle must be heated with a special glow, and then the candle spiral keeps the temperature itself.
Bottom deck:

The bottom deck is a 4.5 mm thick aluminum plate with holes for starting the motor using the starter table.
Front Suspension Design:

The design of the front suspension is in fact not much inferior to real cars in complexity and greatly surpasses them in terms of reliability, so falls from a height of 2 meters onto the ground with a dozen overturns, as a rule, pass for a car without any breakdowns.

Which model should I buy?

The question is complex, and as in the case of computers, you must first decide on the budget and tasks. So for example, if you just want to drive on the model, jump from trampolines and just get fun, then your choice is a monster - for example, HPI Savage. If you are interested in large scale 5 cars, you can look towards the HPI Baja 5T. On a number of forums there are special topics for beginners dedicated to the choice of technology - links at the bottom of the article.

Brands (manufacturers)

A large number of manufacturers are currently represented on the market. You can try to divide them into three categories:

• Purebred Chinese: Iron Track, Himoto, BSD Racing, VRX Racing, HSP. Favorably differ in price, while reliability and thoughtfulness of the design may suffer. You can buy it as the first model in order to understand whether you like it or not, gain experience in repair and operation.
• RTR models from US, UK and Japan manufacturers: HPI, KYOSHO, Team Associated, HOTBODIES, Traxxas, Maverick, Team Losi. On average, "hospitals" are more reliable and well thought-out than the Chinese at a slightly higher price. In the case of manufacturers from the middle group, each model should be considered separately, since each brand has both high-quality successful models and not high-quality ones.
• Whales from Xrax, KYOSHO, Durango, Team Associated. Uncompromising sportsmen's models in full tuning. A whale alone can cost more than the same model in the RTR version, and do not forget that you need to buy an app, an engine, wheels, a speed controller and so on for it. With an average cost of an RTR model of 20 thousand rubles (600 usd), a prepared version for a competition based on a whale can cost up to 60 - 70 thousand (2000 - 2300 usd).

Competitions

For fans of RC hobbies, competitions are held both at the regional level and at the all-Russian level. Competitions, as a rule, have strict regulations and are generally divided into the following classes:

• Buggy 1:10 4wd electro
• Buggy 1: 8 4wd electro
• Buggy 1:10 4wd nitro
• Buggy 1: 8 4wd nitro
• Hobby unlim 1: 8

It should be noted that the classes described are a certain convention and may vary from city to city, depending on the popularity of certain models.
If you decide that you want to participate in competitions, think carefully about whether you need it, because like any sport, RC racing requires a lot of time, money, knowledge and patience. As I mentioned above, preparing a new model from scratch for a whale-based competition can cost 60 - 70 thousand rubles. A used one can be found for 25-35 thousand.

Nitro or electro

Before the advent of BC systems, ICEs ruled in the world of car modeling, since collector motors have much less power. With the advent of brushless (valve) electric motors, the scales swung in the opposite direction, since electric motors, with a capacity comparable to that of an internal combustion engine, have a number of advantages, such as silence, reliability, no need to adjust, run in, no need to start, maintenance is much easier, and so on. At the same time, there is a drawback in the form of the need to charge the batteries and swelling the batteries at sub-zero temperatures.
From myself, I can notice that when I was choosing a serious model, the choice was made on the ICE version, which I later regretted more than once, since maintenance, tuning, etc. take a lot of time, but you can ride while there is fuel, and the frantic roar of the engine in a compartment with a cloud of smoke does not leave indifferent more than one passer-by.

How to start?

In order to understand whether you like it or not, he will decide on the model and, in general, I advise you to come and look at the competitions, pokatushki. The people are usually responsive and sociable, they will help and prompt, because they themselves once started that way. It is also worth asking questions on the RC hobby forums.
In St. Petersburg, you can come and talk to the race track called "Under the Bridge":

And I decided to repeat it. From the beginning I ordered the equipment, servos, shock absorbers, which are less in front and large back. Photo not very



found a chainsaw engine of 45 cc and 3 horsepower.
And I started making the frame. The first pancake turned out to be lumpy, because I made it from a metal profile and the frame turned out to be heavy and flaky, which did not suit me.
Then I decided to try to make something lighter and more durable. I came across a sheet of aluminum from it, then I decided to make a frame. Firstly, light and durable (to some extent) one of its minuses is that it bends, but it doesn’t matter. In order for it not to bend, I strengthened it in the center by installing 2 strips of aluminum profile. The frame turned out to be surprisingly strong 32 kg weight that can withstand how hello, and this is what I need. The length of the frame is 73 cm, the width is 25 cm, the thickness is 2.5 mm. Here is the actual frame.

Then I thought about how to make a chassis, how to install the front wheels, from the beginning I wanted to use an aluminum U-shaped profile to install a suspension on it, but I couldn't find it anywhere (I never thought that this was such a deficit of D). I had to buy an aluminum corner of 25 mm, but then I found out that the rophile could be bought in castoram, but it was too late, that's what happened

the height of the corners turned out to be 6 cm. At the back, I still think about how best to do it, because the model will be rear-wheel drive and such a scheme will no longer work and I do not risk making the rear suspension without the main parts, because I need to make estimates. And while I'm waiting for the main premise without which this machine is not when it will not budge. It comes with a set of drive axles

the receiver is like a native, because of my stupidity burned out

and wheel adapters

By the end of the first part, I want to show approximately how my model will look like, I will say right away the photos are not mine, I found them on the Internet. To be continued.

Not only children are now interested in toys. Many adults buy exact copies of cars of famous brands or are looking for radio-controlled models of cars. Among the offered assortment of toy stores, it is not always possible to find an option that will completely suit the client. In some cases, it is much better to make a radio-controlled model of a car yourself, your child will appreciate your efforts. A do-it-yourself gift from improvised means is much more valuable than a bright typewriter bought at an expensive toy store.

You can make your own radio-controlled car using our sequential algorithm. Modeling from one finished model of a car to another is very similar to the actions of craftsmen in a car workshop.

To create a do-it-yourself controlled machine, you need to have the following elements:

• Electric motor;
• Small car body;
• Robust chassis;
• Removable wheels;
• Mini screwdriver set;
• Detailed instructions for accessories.

Undoubtedly, self-assembly of the machine on the remote control has a lot of advantageous advantages, namely:

• Saving money, while you will have the model of the car that you wanted;
• You can choose the model you need from the offered assortment of spare parts and body types;
• You decide - to make a mini-typewriter on a wired remote control, or use a radio control, which will have to spend a large amount.

After you decide on the model, follow the following sequence of actions:

• We select a chassis for your model, pay attention to the quality of all small parts. No blotches and notches on the surface of the plastic should be visible, the front wheels should move smoothly;
• When choosing wheels, pay special attention to models with rubber, since all plastic models have a poor quality grip surface;
• Take the choice of motor with all seriousness, since this is the main heart of the mini-car. There are 2 types of mini-motors for cars - electric and gasoline. Electric motors are affordable and easy to use, they are powered by a battery, and it is very easy to recharge it. Gasoline options have more power, but they are more expensive and require delicate maintenance. They need to be injected with special fuel. For beginners in the field of toy car modeling, electric motors are suitable;
• You need to decide on the type of control - wired or wireless. Wired controls are cheaper, but the car will only move within a limited radius, while the RC model will move within antenna range. The radio unit is much more efficient for mini-cars;
• The body of the future car also deserves increased attention. You can choose a ready-made case or make it according to your personal sketch.

After all the parts are purchased, you can start assembling.

We attach a motor and a radio unit to the chassis. We mount the antenna. Along with the accessories, there should be detailed instructions for assembling the entire machine. We are adjusting the work of the motor. After everything is working properly, fix the sturdy body of the mini-car to the chassis. Now you can decorate the created model as you like. Let's make a car with a powerful motor.

Many will find the idea of ​​assembling a motorized car for their child very strange, since there are many ready-made options on store shelves. But if you strive to show individuality and earn credibility in the eyes of your child, then you can start assembling a machine with a motor, although this is not easy, but the result will justify all efforts.

The best option is to start assembling a radio-controlled model. This will require certain skills and knowledge of small electrical engineering, because this mini-machine is a rather complex mechanism, despite its compact size. All important parts must be purchased.

We begin to study the control panel. The movement of the car, the ability to overcome obstacles, and make beautiful maneuvers directly depends on the correct assembly. Many car models use a three-channel pistol-style remote control, which you can assemble yourself.

You can follow a simple path - get a special designer, where the kit contains all the necessary parts, their detailed diagrams and final drawings of the finished models.

Engines for future radio-controlled models can be electric or internal combustion. Internal combustion engines produce gasoline or incandescent, operating on a composition of methanol, oil and nitromethane, a special gas-alcohol mixture. The approximate volumes of such engines range from 15 to 35 cm3.

The approximate volume of the fuel tank for such vehicles is 700 cm3. It keeps the engine running smoothly for 45 minutes. Many gasoline models are rear-wheel drive with independent suspension.

Today, there are many demountable models on the market for car builders. Among the leading manufacturers of mini-cars, it is worth highlighting ABC, Protech, FG Modelsport (Germany), HPI, HIMOTO (USA). Their main feature is the similarity of mini-models with real prototypes. After completing the assembly, according to the attached instructions, install a charged on-board battery, a battery in the transmitter, pour a small amount of gasoline into the tank. You can safely launch your iron horse on the way.

Modeling cars of your own accord is a fun hobby, especially when the result exceeds all expectations. To begin with, you need to purchase a Range Rover bench model, from which we will make a jeep that can freely dissect off-road. We also need to take working electronics from an old jeep, we will fix it in an SUV.

We make bridges and differentials from copper pipes with a soldering iron. We attach it to the powerful wheels of the SUV. Care must be taken to ensure that all connections are firmly sealed. We closed the sharpening differentials with pill caps. From above we cover the entire joint of the differential with ordinary auto enamel. We put the bridges on the frame and carry out the steering rods. Steering rods can be obtained from an old disassembled machine. After installing the plastic bottom, we cut out a hole there, which is necessary for installing the gearbox, cardan shafts. The gearbox contains an airplane engine, which is also quite powerful. The model does not move in jerks, but smoothly, this is the most important condition for such models. It is quite difficult to make a gearbox, but here you can show all your ingenuity. We fix the gearbox tightly to the bottom, attach the bottom to the frame. Now the electronics, shock absorbers, battery are being installed. At the end, the car body is painted, the main units are installed, the headlights and much more. We apply the paint in 4 layers for ordinary plastic. The author found the original photo of the car and made a mini-copy of it in a toy version. So that the model is not afraid of moisture, he covered the electronics with a special compound. To give the effect of antiquity, I sanded the outer surface of the car after painting. The battery in this model is enough for 25 minutes of continuous riding.

To create such a simple model, we need the following list of small details:

• Microcircuit for a radio-controlled car;
• Remote Control;
• Steering element;
• Soldering iron with solder;
• Compact electrical device;
• Battery with charger.

The procedure is as follows:

• We collect the lower part of the car, that is, the suspension;
• For this purpose, a strong plastic plate is required, it will be the basis for this model;
• A microcircuit for a radio-controlled car is attached to it, we solder a wire to it, which serves as an antenna;
• We solder the wires from the electric motor;
• We fix the battery wires to the correct points of the microcircuit;
• We fix the wheels taken from a simple children's car;
• All parts can be secured so as not to fall off during use.

We fix the steering elements, it is impossible to do this with glue alone. The front axle must be wrapped with electrical tape for a stronger fix. We attach the battery to a microcircuit. The machine is now ready for testing. It must definitely function. The control of such a machine is carried out using the remote control. By following these instructions, you can easily make a new typewriter on the controls. If you want to design with your own hands, then this guide is more useful than ever. A handmade toy pleases much more than a model bought with your own hands.

To assemble this model, we need the following components:

• A simple model of a car of any production;
• VAZ parts for opening doors, 12-volt battery;
• Radio control equipment;
• Durable batteries with chargers;
• Radiator;
• Electronic measuring equipment;
• Small soldering iron with solder;
• Locksmith tools;
• A piece of rubber to provide reinforcement for the bumper.

An approximate scheme for collecting a radio-controlled model is shown in the figure.

Let's move on to reading and collecting the diagram, to the fascinating process of creating a unique mini-typewriter. First, we collect the suspension. We take VAZ connections and gears for assembling the gearbox. The studs and housing need to be threaded in order to hang the gears and solenoids. We connect the gearbox to the power supply, check it, and then fix it on a typewriter. To effectively protect the system from overheating, we install a radiator. The plate from it can be firmly fixed with ordinary bolts. Next comes the installation of power driver and radio control microcircuits. We completely install the car body. Our mini car is ready for real challenges.

You have a radio-controlled car. Are you looking to make it more agile, but don't know how to do it?

Do not overload the model with additional systems and unnecessary small details. Sound signals, glowing headlights - these are all conveniences, they look great, but the independent process of collecting a radio-controlled car has certain difficulties even without it. The complication of parts can negatively affect the important chassis of the car. The main point to focus on is the creation of a high-quality suspension, ensuring reliable signal transmission.

To improve the maneuverability indicators and optimize the speed parameters, fine-tuning the system during test drives is suitable.

Assembly order

During the collection process, it may turn out that some of the missing parts will have to be bought or borrowed from the old, broken machines of the little son. After all, he will sacrifice them for the sake of a cool novelty, isn't that so ?! We take the frame and body from the old samples of the son's toys. The selected motor is tested in advance for maneuverability and performance. The power of the engine should not go against the weight of the car, because a weak motor will not pull a heavy structure. Batteries must be unused. The step-by-step assembly steps are as follows:

• First, we assemble the mini-frame;
• Then we fix and adjust the serviceable motor;
• We introduce batteries or a compact battery;
• Next, the antenna is fixed;
• The wheels are mounted so that they can turn freely, spinning with the axle. If this condition is not met, the machine will only move forward and backward.
