Radio Control Electric Wright Flyer

When it comes to scale-size motorsport thrills, few hobbies may match the untethered thrills of R/C cars. Whether screaming throughout the asphalt or bounding over a dirt course, R/C cars offer fanciers an ever-increasing level of power, detail, and sophistication. In this volume for veteran and newbie R/C fanciers alike, ace sparetime activity writer Robert Schleicher offers a entirely illustrated guide to both electric and fuel remote-control vehicles. From selecting the right scale and tending to the power source to tuning the chassis and choosing gear ratios and tires, Schleicher covers all the angles that go into R/C driving. He likewise considers nitro power, painting and decals, off-road driving techniques, setting up road-race courses in parking lots, and even building off-road courses. Appendices include a glossary and selective information on clubs, publications, and suppliers.
