I have a solar panel 7.5V 1.25W 150mah, connect 2 in parallel to power a RC boat. The boat use to run on 6cell battery pack - 7.2V 1800Mah.
The dc motor requirement based on the provided battery pack, i assume would be 7.2V and rated at (7.2V * 1.8Amp) = 12.96 Watt.
Would two of my solar panels run this DC motor ?
are my calculations or understanding correct ?
do lend a hand dear ”world”

Make Your Own Rc Drift Tires

Posted by: admin | Comments (0)

Back before RC drifting become as commercial as it is today, we used to use a couple of tricks to get ourselves sideways, I explore a little drift history and explain how you can make your own drift tires on a shoestring.

As soon as I realized that 1/10 scale remote control cars were almost identical to real cars, I knew they would drift, the only problem was that without an incredibly powerful motor and a huge tire budget it just wasn’t a reality.

At first we tried to change the surface, as there quiet a few places where you can drift really well on rubber tires, underground parking lots for example. It wasn’t until a few months later that we started to experiment with changing the tires to drift, the first thing we did to tape the tires, this involves using insulation tape to leave the tire without any traction, there is a specific way which works the best, you only tape the outside edges of your tire, or what I found also works as taking a strip down the center of each tire, but leaving the edges open rubber.

Posted by: admin | Comments (0)

Knowing about RC cars is very essential before stepping into the racing world. If you are still an amateur, you might crib on the fact that you aren?t able to choose the best electric powered RC car. You need an assistance to choose the best suitable car to pose against your rivals and this isn?t easy as it might sound.

Electric RC cars are the ones which run on batteries. The electric batteries are in the form of battery packs. You have a choice while choosing the battery. The ?ready to run? or the batteries which you need to built it yourself are available. The ?ready to run? batteries are preferred as the work load becomes very minimal.

Nitro RC cars are the ones which are tougher to maintain and they are quite expensive. RC cars that run on battery packs are easier to purchase. It is specifically designed for amateurs or beginners. However, RC car fanatics who are quite experiences use these cars for variety and comparison purposes.

I got my son an RC Titanic 1:150) from AMAX. The boat is great, but it did not come with any instructions whatsoever. I emailed them and asked for a wiring diagram to hook up some batteries, and I got something that makes no sense. I have tried to contact them again to clarify what they sent me, but to no avail. Does anyone have any recommendations as to what types of batteries to use, and how to hook it up. It also mentioned a water pump on the diagram. Please let me know if you can help.

When I first started racing Gas Powered RC cars, I used to struggle to get the engine into tune, while I was able to get the engine to start on a dime and it used to run fine for almost an entire fuel tank, it always seemed to over-heat near the end of the run. After many hours out on the track I can now finally say that I’ve got it down, tuning for me is now a 5 minute operation before I take my RC car out, and once it’s dialed in I only need to adjust one needle a fraction of a turn to get it back to it’s optimal settings.

I assume that your understand the basics of a RC Nitro Engine and how it works, if not please see my other articles which you can find on my website, see the resource box for details.

Radio controlled devices have gained popularity as hobby items apart from being used for various other purposes. Building, modifying and driving radio controlled vehicles is a favorite pastime of radio control enthusiasts. The sport involves displaying the skills of the person in handling the device, efficiently.

Remote or radio controlled devices are controlled from a remote distance. Jagdish Chandra Bose was perhaps the first to demonstrate remote controlled activity when he set alight gun powder to strike a gong using electromagnetic radiation, from a distance. Tesla was the first to show the use of a transmitter and receiver to remotely control a ship. He showed how mechanical gadgets could be controlled using the wireless principle in the year 1898. He also began the construction of a wireless tower that remained incomplete due to lack of finance. Tesla can be said to have created the basis for the design of radio controlled devices which are in use today. The American inventor Armstrong said, “The world will long have to wait for a mind equal to Tesla’s, a mind of such creative possibilities and such wealth of imagination.”

Remote controlled devices are also known commonly as RC devices- RC meaning radio controlled. Dr. William and Walter Good, two twin brothers created and flew the first radio controlled airplane in 1937. Dr. William was a radio specialist whereas his brother Walter built aero models. They combined both their skills to create a radio controlled airplane. The principle of radio control has also been used in the World War II. From the 1960s, transistors were available, and this revolutionized the circuits to make them compact and light.

Soldering is a method of joining two metals together using a third metal, called solder. Soldering has many applications including assembling electronic components to circuit boards, jewelry making, making some copper pipe plumbing connections, and building or repairing radio controlled vehicles.

For radio controlled vehicle hobbyists soldering is mostly used in making repairs and modifications to electric RCs. Occasionally it might be needed with some nitro RC components. Knowing basic soldering techniques can save money. Instead of replacing a high dollar part, solder a loose wire yourself.
