If you are an outdoor lover then this is one of the most exciting and frustrating times of the year, pre-spring. The pre-spring season seems to tease you with shorts stretches of nice weather where you can break out your outdoor RC cars, and then before you know it the snow is flying again and you are stuck inside. If you are feeling the effects of cabin fever you can benefit from a little, pre-season, pre-spring tune up of your RC collection.
The first thing that you can do is get out your stored RC cars and prep them for the spring season. The prep will involve cleaning, lubing and minor repairs. This pre-spring prep will allow you to hit the ground running as soon the weather clears.
Another thing you can do during the pre-spring season is to modify your RC units. There are a lot of modifications that you can make to your remote control cars and trucks. For example, you can upgrade the suspension, the wheels and even the engine. If you are interested in smaller modifications then you can update, repair or change the look of your vehicles by changing their paint job or adding new decals.
If you are really bored and want a great weekend project, then consider building a new remote control vehicle. You can work with remote control vehicle kits or you can buy all the parts separately. This option obviously is going to take more time then the above projects, so start now to be ready for the spring thaw.
Hi,
Some sound advice there. I don’t think people realise the maintenance that is required to keep rc cars running smoothly!
Anyway, great blog guys!
Thanks

good point, I definitely like to make minor modifications in the spring.
Good stuff. Nothing like priming the RCs for summer riding. Nice site, btw!
I had to do abit more then prep mine. It hit a curb and smashed into lots of bits. But hey I had fun rebuilding it.

I have been totally upset with my rc car. It just that it’s not in a good condition. I think I’m gonna buy a new one.
Hi,

What kind of competitions are you in? Tell us about them.
We never used to purchase remote control car stuff separately. We always purchased an RC car that had a good brand prior to our tech-fest and then we used to get rid of the exterior of the vehicle. We just made some minor modifications and tweaks to the design so that it can roll easily on any surface…something like a monster truck can do…lol!
Yes we had to change the tires for sure. We had to raise the power on the motors off course. A very light weight body was always last on the list. If we were short off time, we left that part. It was always amazing to be a part of RC events. We always learned something new. It’s nice to know that a blog on RC cars exists and is maintained with relevant information.

After abit of research even i was surprised the amount of maintenance these cars need to be at there best. I also never knew the amount of people who are interested in these events. I dont even think people who drive real cars take it this seriously.
You need to take as much care with your model as you do with the passenger car or truck that you buy.
Spring seems to be the best season for modifications. im having a lot of problem with the suspension and im planning to modify it. great blog guys…thanks for the season selection and tips.
