Upgrading the Shocks on your RC Car
Are you looking to upgrade the shocks on your RC Car? It is actually pretty simple to do on your own. Check out our video and our step by step guide below.
Step 1: The first thing you want to do is pop off the body clips
Step 2: Remove the body from the frame
Step 3: Start with removing the front shocks
If you don’t have a great tool kit, we highly recommend the Dynamite set, we have found it to be one of the best tool set for the small parts on RC Cars
Step 4: Remove the front clips with the bigger flat head that comes with the dynamite kit
Step 5: Put the tool in between the shock and bulkhead and the the top slides off (this removed the top of the shock)
Step 6: Turn the car over
Step 7: Put the tool between the shock and the bulkhead and the shock will come right off (this removes the bottom of the shock)
Rebinding your Remote to your RC Car
The first question we are going to answer is – what is an RC car remote?
An RC car remote is the transmitter, it allows you to control the car and it communicates with your receiver (the receiver is your remote-control vehicle). The receiver is located somewhere in your car. Once your car is bound with your transmitter it allows you to control the vehicle remotely. Hence the name remote control (RC) car.
Why does my RC Car lose connection with the remote?
There are several reasons why your remote can lose the connection from the remote to the car. Sometimes it struggles to bind for reasons as simple as your batteries are low, there is a loose wire in the remote or car, the remote antenna may not be fully extended/within range, or you could have the incorrect frequency setting.
