Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between brushed and brushless RC car motors?
Brushed motors are more affordable and easier to maintain, making them great for beginners or casual users. Brushless motors, on the other hand, deliver higher speed, better efficiency and longer lifespan but require electronic speed controllers that match their design. The choice often depends on how you plan to drive — relaxed weekend runs or competitive racing. For those chasing serious performance, brushless systems tend to offer more power and durability in the long run.
How do terrain and tyre choice affect RC car performance?
Tyres are the key link between your RC car and the ground, and the right set can completely change how it handles. Slick tyres suit smooth surfaces like tarmac, while knobbier patterns are better for dirt or grass. Some drivers even switch tyres mid-season to adapt to different conditions. Choosing the right tread and compound helps maintain control, prevent spin-outs and extend the life of your drivetrain.
Are ready-to-run RC cars worth buying compared to kits?
Ready-to-run (RTR) models are ideal for anyone who wants to start driving straight away without assembly. Kits, however, appeal to hobbyists who enjoy the process of building and customising every detail. RTR options are convenient, but kits provide deeper understanding and easier upgrades later. The right choice depends on whether you value instant fun or the hands-on satisfaction of creating your own machine.
