RC Toy lovers love the tools too (part 2)

For the inveterate RC toy lovers, there is an impressive array of tools using which they can mend their cars if they develop some fault, and fiddle with them even if they work perfectly. For the earnest enthusiasts who would like to build the cars themselves, the robot kit with professional grade tools are manna from heaven.

Robot Car Kit for Arduino: This contains all the necessary components and materials.

For example, a DIY L298N 2WD Ultrasonic Smart Tracking Moteur Car robot kit For Arduino will have an acrylic or plexiglass sheet, motor driver shield or motor driver circuit board, two motors, two wheels, Arduino microcontroller board, a battery holder and a set of four AA batteries. One can also get transistor tester, servo tester, heat shrink.

Bluetooth Module: Attaching a cable to connect the car or plane model with the controlling computer is meaningless. The Bluetooth technology neatly solves this problem. A Geekcreit HC-06 Wireless Bluetooth Transceiver RF Main Module Serial, with various selection options, for instance, provides the interfacing with the controlling computer or console for an effective distance of 10 meters, maybe more. Geekcreit is a very professional brand and their bluetooth module is widely used among professional players.

The model making steps are :

1. Get a robot kit and supplement it with add-ons, if necessary.

2. Thread the wheels on to the motors and fix the motor to the chassis using adhesive glue; also attach the battery holder, motor driver circuit, and the Arduino board.

3. Test and select the options to start the car.

Normally, one can just use the readily available software. However, for programming enthusiasts may opt for models with the option to tinker with the code. Involving the kids in the building process is educative and fun. You ask them to read and do exercises, they may protest. Here, you are asking them to fiddle with the system and play - in the process they learn.

Have fun with the car and gain valuable computer knowledge too!

RC Toy lovers love the tools too (part 1)

You may or may not afford the Lightning McQueen remote controlled car, the current year hit from Sphero. But can your robotic toy car, especially the one you yourself build, speak with Owen Cunningham’s voice? The answer is: yes, very much possible!

Even if you are not an electronics person, you are aware of transistors, Bluetooth, and servos, and there are easy-to-follow make-your-own-toy-car kits for computers to cars. The advent of Arduino microcontroller boards and the availability of attachable components including brushless motor, circuit boards, and other materials has made it very easy for building electronic gadgets including toy cars. Any decent electronics stores will provide the basic but professional level kits and components which, along with common toolkits, can enable you to build your own RC car quickly. That means, if you are an entry starter for DIY RC racing cars and you are interested in Arduino development board, you can simply pick an arduino starter kit on the online store which is affordable and will offer you all the parts you will need, so that you have no need to purchase each tool one by one saving you lots of times and efforts.

Transistor Tester and Servo Testers: To provide consistent and proper function, testers such as DANIU (DANIU is a brand that trusted by the senior players for many years) 3.5 inch Colorful Display Multifunctional TFT Transistor Tester and HJ Digital servo tester provided along with kit or can be bought separately. We should definitely choose high-quality transistor tester and servo tester as they ensure the safety and the operation of RC toys.

Brushless motor: SunnySky X2216 2216 1250KV Outrunner Brushless Motor For RC Models, for instance, can be used in the robot cars. It’s widely and universally accepted that the brushless motor is better than the Brushed ESC since it will save more energy and protect your RC cars better. So, if you are looking for a powerful, safe and durable motor, pick the brushless one. More RC toy parts and components will be discussed in the next chapter.

Aluminum YoYo Ball is children’s favorite. It’s cool to play, and it’s designed to train fine motor skills and eye-hand coordination. It can cultivate the imagination, creativity and rapid reaction ability. It is not only for daily entertainment, but also for acrobatic performance with most entertaining fancy. So Gyro Toys can be said as more like the educated toys.

Basic knowledge of RC car for hobbyists (part 2)

Many friends will ask me what brushless motor should be equipped with what brushless ESC. In fact, this is uncertain because of the car models, batteries and techniques and other different factors. And the RC cars central transmission is also a very important factor.

The basic knowledge of the motor

1. T data: the number of turns. The lower the T data, the higher the speed, the worse the low-speed torque, the greater the power consumption and loss. The higher the T, the lower the speed, the stronger the low-speed torque, the smaller the power consumption and the loss.

2. About MODIFIED motor

Modified motors belong to the modified category in the RC car race, and is the highest level of the remote control electric car race - for example, LFMAR's 1:10 EP touring car race uses the modified motor. Why modify it? What about the high torque motor(large power gear box)? Of course, it is for faster and better! According to some experts, the so-called Modified motor, is to make some of the unnormal motors back to normal in a manual way, by modifying the weight difference on each side to be closer to zero. Remember, if you decide to modify your motor, the RC car tools you use must be qualified or it will hurt your motor.

3. The motor's RUN-IN problem

We all know that the engine of the oil-powered car needs to run, but there are a lot of people who may not know the motor will run. The so-called motor running, that is, before the official use of the motor, let the carbon brush and the head of the degree of fit to achieve the best. In this way, the motor can be used in the best time to work. It is said that after running the motor, in terms of efficiency and life are better.

4. What kind of motor should the novice choose?

Many new players, want the motor to be as fast as possible, the higher speed the better. Motor,  as a power equipment, although has a pivotal role, but not the only determinant, the frame tuning settings and other factors are also very important. RC car is not for straight racing. Of course, the higher the linear speed, the more cheers you can get from passers-by, but as a player, your technique and ability can not be improved. And the higher speed means more loss.

I will also want to recommend the RC car accessories like the Kyosho Mini Z RC Cars Parts, which is quite popular among the RC car hobbyists.

Basic knowledge of RC car for hobbyists (part 1)

Electronic equipment:

1. Electronic governor: divided into brush and brushless, the role is to control the motor power current, and to supply power to the receiver and steering gear.

2. Receiver: used to receive the transmitter signal and assigned to the electronic governor and steering gear, commonly has 2-channel, 3-channel, 4-channel, 6-channel and so on. In general, the receiver also has a BATT channel, this channel is not controlled by the receiver, and in a normally open state, can be used by external fans or LED lights.

3. Motor: Brush motor and brushless motor

4. Steering gear: change the electrical energy into a range of kinetic energy can produce a certain angle. According to the strength, the general size is 3KG, 9KG, 11KG and so on.

5. Battery: A storage device used to provide power. There are nickel-cadmium batteries, nickel-metal hydride batteries, lithium polymer batteries, etc., now the most commonly used is the nickel-metal hydride batteries and polymer batteries.

When you choose the accessories for HPI RC cars, remember to choose carefully for the high-quality one that can be used for a long time.

What is brush and brushless?

1. Brush motor is more common. Because of the low cost, good stability, good low-speed linear, it’s the first choice for low-end novice cars, drift cars, and climbing cars. But there are obvious shortcomings - high temperature, brush wear, normal speed and acceleration ability, shorter life.

2. In the match with the corresponding brushless sensitive EG and brushless senseless EG, in the same power, the brushless motor speed is higher than the brush motor, has faster acceleration and basically no wear, so it’s suitable for high-speed RC sprint car. Because the size is similar, the brush one can be upgraded to the brushless one. And nowadays, we can find more and more RC cars cheap brushless motor.

Sensitive and senseless

As for the sensitive and senseless, the principle will not be explained in detail, as a novice, you only need to know that the sensitive one has slightly better low-speed linear and throttle response. On the market, the senseless motor can be used in off-road cars, small trucks. It’s recommended to use brush equipment for the climb car.

Even though the RC truck car has no strict requirements for high speed, but high-quality RC truck parts for maintenance and replacement is also important.

Do children really need toys?

Today's society, children's toys are so various that it is difficult to choose. At the same time, parents want to choose the most suitable toys for their children. Sometimes when parents are looking at the floor full of toys at home, may be wondering, what is the use of children's toys? Why do children need it? However, children need toys for sure, and not just for fun.

1. To know the world

The toy is the window that opens the child's understanding of the world. Playing toys let your baby learn and grow in a faster and better way. When the baby learns to grab what their eyes are seeing, he is playing and is in the process of effective development of the coordination of the hand and eye movement, and also the development of his athletic ability. For example, by playing the finger bikes toy, children start to know there are all kinds of transportation in the world.

2. To think and understand

Good toys will promote the improvement of children's understanding. Toys play an extremely important role in the development of children's cognitive abilities. Through the interaction with the toy, the baby can gradually create space, time, numbers and characters and other concepts, so they start to learn to think. Further, they are gradually able to sort things, collect, find out their correspondence, and so on. In the long term, this helps the child to build his own thinking system. For example, by playing the clockwork spring toy, the child can understand better how this mechanism work.

3. To feel and create 

Good toys will cultivate children's creative imagination. When playing role games or imagination games, parents can explore their future role or how they will react when facing some new interpersonal relationships. Through the game, it also allows the baby to develop the imagination and express their real emotion and feelings. For example, by playing the transformers metal toys, children can assemble and create their own transformer.

“ I always want a RC racing car ” - big toy for the big boy

Not a toy but a hobby

The remote control model is considered to be “Hobby” rather than “Toy” because the remote control model requires the players to have a certain knowledge and technology, and even financial resources. The difference between RC racing car and toys is the need for players to have professional knowledge like some basic physical, electronic, chemical knowledge for such as the modification of the frame, the selection of the tire, the tuning of the frame, the upgrading of the power system. So the mainstream players are adults and the price will certainly be much higher than the average toy. The professional racing level RC can be up to thousands of dollars.

For the RC fans who have the tight budget, I will personally recommend him to purchase a rccrawler without transmitter so that he can assemble as he wishes at a low price.

Why they worth

In fact, RC cars have the same mechanical principle, similar structure, handling characteristics and the amazing speed that super sports car can not match. Take the 1/8 RC car as an example, they can be accelerated from 0 to 100 km / h in 1.6 seconds and the maximal speed can reach 160 km / h. This performance has been the same with the world's highest level of Formula One racing cars. RC frame of aluminum and carbon fiber have become the mainstream material. With the ever-changing technology, just like research and development of the F1 racing car, high-strength and ultra-lightweight carbon fiber mining system has become a trend. Therefore, even though you can’t drive in the car, you can experience incredible pleasure and excitement through the fast speed and the mechanical study.

An important family member - the RC racing trucks

In the family of remote control models, RC racing trucks may not be as fast as the speed of the RC racing cars, but its ability to cross the barrier is very good. More importantly, the RC racing trucks with its highly simulated appearance and frame structure, conquer countless model car fans. The appearance of the body, transmission structure, light combination or engine vibration, sounds are almost the same with real cars which is another fun thing to study.

Will not miss the special one

In the family of remote control car models, there are some family members of special functions like the RC excavator, RC truck(not the same with the RC racing trucks above which is for cross-country match) etc. They are affordable but you can still have fun with them in a special way.

RC cars are not just toys - best racing brands of RC cars

Cooler than real sports cars

RC cars, in the layman's mind, might be just toys, but in fact, RC cars have the same mechanical principle, similar structure, handling characteristics and the amazing speed that super sports car can not match with the real racing car. Take the 1/8 RC car as an example, they can be accelerated from 0 to 100 km / h in 1.6 seconds and the maximal speed can reach 160 km / h. This performance has been the same with the world's highest level of Formula One racing cars.

RC cars are more than toys

The remote control model is considered to be “Hobby” rather than “Toy” because the remote control model requires the players to have a certain knowledge and technology, and even financial resources. Players can not only have fun but also continuously learn new knowledge exercising thinking ability and practical ability in the process of assembling models, so the remote control model is definitely a healthy hobby. Although the remote control model car can not be driven inside, in fact, you can experience incredible pleasure and excitement through the fast speed. Normally, players will equip mini HD camera for RC so that they can enjoy and record every moment. Also, if you don’t know where to find the suitable HD camera module to install then here are some choices.

International famous brands

If you are not that familiar with RC cars but you really want to purchase one, I guess you need to know some famous star brands.

1. American brands

Traxxas is a classic brand which is entertainment-oriented and mainly produces a large number of RTR cars. Team Associated is also a veteran, but it mainly produces high-end race cars from the flat to off-road vehicles, and have a good race ranking. Losi is Team Associated's old rival producing both high-end race products and entertainment products.

2. European brands

Serpent is the old brand from the Netherlands, and all kinds of frames are available. Xray is from the Czech Republic of super high precision, known for high-end race cars and have good results in racing games. The disadvantage - expensive.

3. Asian brands

Some Chinese brands like Eachine and Wltoys might be new but they also have their advantages like they are more affordable and easy to control, so it’s suitable for beginners. If you are interested in more micro RC cars, you can have a look.
