Another thing to consider when using an RC car is maintenance, but don’t worry—it’s not complicated. Here are some common FAQs on use and maintenance of RC cars here:
How often should I clean and lubricate my RC car?
It depends on how often you use your car, but generally it’s good practice to give your RC car a thorough cleaning and lubrication after every race or use. This will keep the moving parts in tip-top shape and make sure your car runs smoothly for longer.
What can I do to maintain my battery life?
The number one tip here is always charge your battery after you’ve used it. If you store your battery without charging it, the cells can degrade and shorten its lifespan. To maximize longevity, don’t let charge levels drop too low—the ideal range is between 60% and 80%.
Finally, make sure you buy a good-quality battery charger, since using the wrong kind of charger can shorten the life-span of your battery significantly.
That covers the basics on how to use an RC car safely. As long as you take care of it properly with regular maintenance and cleaning, you can ensure that your RC car will last you for many hours of fun!
