How does an RC car work? What bit is the ESC, and what is the receiver?
In this video, Aaron explains what every component in an RC car does, and how they do it - with help from Blitzy, the Blitzer Beetle.

Finally someone explaining RC stuff without all the condescending gate keeping attitude. I’m trying to learn RC planes and let’s just say it’s pretty difficult to ask questions and get straight, informative answers in that community. I’ve learned enough to realize the tech is the same as RC cars. Just more channels and servos. Thanks again!

Hi Aaron, thank you for taking the time to make this video, I’m learning every day. My question is a little outside your video subject but I’m an electronics idiot but I’m not a dumb guy, so I’m hoping to tap your expert opinion for some advice. I’m trying to pull the rope on a lifejacket CO2 manual inflator (No, using the auto inflator is not an option) using either a servo or a solenoid with a button as the trigger on off. So, I’ve guessed the torque pull required on the rope is probably 3 to 5kg and this is a one-time use one time pull device I’m trying to build. I don’t even know if that is even possible to press a button once and get enough torque from a servo or solenoid to pull a rope? Would the servo keep spinning or would it stop after the button is released? Any advice or suggestions would be most greatly appreciated! Thank you so much!

I wonder if you might be able to advise - I fried the receiver on a toy car (by upgrading the battery from 7.5V to 8.4... !). The steering in the car does not have a servo but a motor. Would I be able to control / connect to this steering motor with a standard RC receiver, like the one you have in your video ? Thank you in advance! :)

Needless to say I did something to it and now there is a fast red blinking light on the receiver and a faster blinking red light on the esc? No steering or throttle. I saw a loose plug from the battery and an open open port (on the receiver) and thought it should be plugged in. Next thing I saw was a little bit of smoke come out of the fan...after that car no go. Please help.

I had to thumb up the video after that first joke. Good video too. I have some broken RC cars my boss asked me to repair. Since I'm an FPV quadcopter pilot, he assumes I know all about RC everything. I'm trying to learn what ESC, motor, sensored vs non sensored works with what application. I was never into RC cars until I drove one of his that I put back together. They are a lot of fun. I have rear end gear boxes disassembled, motors with what feels like bad bearings, an ESC that draws enough amps when a motor is plugged into it that it trips the overvolt protection on my power supply. However the motor runs just fine when plugged into the car that I got running. 4 of the same cars so everything is interchangeable. RC cars is another rabbit hole I'm diving into.

Great video mate, teaching an old dog new tricks. I bought an HSP Savagery truck and haven`t turned a wheel yet but while familiarising myself with this fabulous little truck I noticed the rear (non steer) wheels toe in a few degrees (noticable to the naked eye) and there appears to be no way to adjust this toe in. Is there a technical reason for the rear wheels pointing inwards instead of them being parallel to each other. The only adjustment I can see is camber/castor. Thanks in advance and will now subscribe to this channel. Cheers mate

Curious. If I wanted to run power tool batteries, Is there a step down I need for the extra voltage? Or does this automatically step down? I’m new to this. I don’t use 12v tools so I have concern for the extra voltage. I’d likely use nominal 18v batteries. I’m just considering something for my nephew that runs off of tool batteries.
@HobbiesDirect
@HobbiesDirect Жыл бұрын
You'd need a speed controller capable of running that voltage. 18v (5S) isn't very common in the rc world, so you'd need a 22.2v (6S) capable ESC. These are usually quite expensive and are associated with high-power large scale cars that usually do upwards of 50mph. If you want to use drill batteries, I think there are some cheaper toy-grade cars out there.

Depends on if the receiver has a built in gyro or not, and if the esc is compatible. A separate gyro will go in between the receiver and servo/esc, intercepting the signal before passing it on. Transmitter -> Receiver -> Gyro -> Servo/ESC.

Your finger on the trigger/stick gives the signal for the motor, the same way as you turning the steering gives the signalto steer. A gyro senses changes in rotation/yaw/direction, and adjusts the steering/throttle to try to keep the vehicle pointed straight.@@STRIMIX

Depends on the receiver, but you want positive and negative, as you don't need a signal to control the fan. On most receivers, it's the middle and right. As stated in the video, your receiver should have a little diagram on it showing what pin is what. It'll only work one way, as if you plug it into the signal pin, the circuit isn't complete and the fan won't run.

Is there a kit to convert a Burago Dodge Viper rt/10 1;18 scale die cast into a high-speed RC?
@HobbiesDirect
@HobbiesDirect 11 ай бұрын
No kit, it would all be custom. But you're good at fabrication and electronics, it could definitely be done. Though it might be easier to start with another 1:18 scale RC car and just try to mount the body.

I am totally lost...The ESC has nowhere for the motor to plug into it at the box itself. I have to use the red and black leads (which are the same type connectors). As well if I do this, then there is nowhere to plug into the battery and the connectors on the battery are different from those on the ESC anyway. I haven't even gotten to the servo yet...I have no manuals to refer to as well. Can anyone help?

The radio system has almost nothing to do with the motor; it just sends a throttle position signal to your speed controller :-) FlySky gt2 is a good basic radio.

In short - yes. That motor will get super hot and burn out quite rapidly. It'll be very fast for the 3 minutes it will run though 🙂

Hoping you could help. Noobie here but how can you connect an FPV to your rc car and use the same antenna to one transmitter? Do you have to get a special reciver?
@HobbiesDirect
@HobbiesDirect 7 күн бұрын
You would need an FPV setup (obviously), but that could be separate from the rest of your vehicle. The FPV system will have it's own receiver (in the glasses), as it's the camera on the vehicle that is doing the transmitting. For an all-in-one solution, expect a lot of custom work.

Hey, i am going to up grade a rc that i have for a long time, but he is more like a toy, you know like every part is made from hard plastic, the suspension is pretty basic, the engine is really bad but his structure is just like a crawler, and i want to up grade him so do you have any tip to my case?
@fbi4574
@fbi4574 8 ай бұрын
Oh and, one thing that bothers me is that he don't have any ESC, servo at all so i am not sure if it would work well on him

Sounds like you'd basically be custom making everything - might be easier to just buy a crawler chassis and try to make the body fit 🙂 @@fbi4574

I have an issue when my speed is turned up between maybe 90-100%, the car wants to reverse under light throttle. The same is true for steering. If I just barely turn right, the car will register it as turning left. Any idea wth is going on? My kids are tired of racing the neighbors' Traxxas Stampede at 80% speed 😢😆 The car is the Bezgar HB121 buggy. The radio is just about the simplest trigger and wheel style with steering trim, speed trim, aux and reverse steering options. Thanks for any info!
@HobbiesDirect
@HobbiesDirect Жыл бұрын
Not familiar with that brand or the radio that comes with it, but I'd guess the radio itself is causing the issue. Blast out both potentiometers with contact cleaner, and see if that helps :-) If not, it might just be a case of cheap electronics.

If all the connections are secure, might be time for a new motor :-/ If you have a voltmeter, you can check the output of the ESC to the motor wires.
