Get to Know Some Remote Control Truck Jargons
When starting a new hobby, it is certainly important for one to become familiar with the terms often used in that field. Of course, the world of remote control trucks is no exception; it also has a language of its own.
ARR/RTR - Some remote control trucks are almost completely assembled in the factory. ARR stands for Almost Ready-To-Run, while RTR is Ready-to-Run, usually identical to the former but with a radio system. ARR and RTR trucks cost a little more than unassembled models, but are practically ready to run right out of the box.
Chassis - This is the framework on which the components of a truck are mounted. It can be made of sturdy composites, aluminum, or graphite. The word chassis is also sometimes used to refer to an entire vehicle, excluding the body, wheels, and tires.
Electric starter - A hand-held electric motor used for starting a model engine, usually powered by a 12-volt battery. Electric starters are generally designed for airplane engines and require an adapter to work with truck engines.
Electronic Speed Control (ESC) - This replaces the mechanical speed control and servo usually found in “entry-level” electric remote control trucks. ESCs increase power efficiency and precision, while reducing a model’s weight for better performance.
Monster truck - Monster trucks are big and designed for torque instead of speed. They can move up hills, down slopes, and even over other cars.
Servo - The electromechanical device which moves the control surfaces or throttle of the truck according to commands from the receiver.
Stadium truck - Remote control stadium trucks, like their full-size counterparts, are built to take punishment. They are designed for all out racing, with heavy duty suspensions, oversized shocks and big tires that enable them to survive the roughest conditions.
Throttle - To increase or decrease acceleration, manipulate the throttle. It is the one that changes the voltage going to the truck’s motor or the fuel/air mix going to the engine.
Tie rods - Tie rods provide steering control by attaching the steering servo to the front wheels. They “tie” these two parts together.

How much does it cost to fill up a 75cc petrol tank if 1 gallon costs £18?
This has been doing my head in!
Its for my nitro powered radio controlled car, i just wanted to see how much money i would be putting though the engine when i run it.
1 Imperial gallon = 4.54609188 litres OR 4546.09188 cc/ml
I tried the math, but not sure how to work it out exactly.
K answered good. i think i got another way i found it out:
1800p/ 4546ml = 0.3959p/ml * 75ml 29.6964p
1 gallon (4546 cc) = £18
4546/75 = number of fills per gallon = 60.6
so cost per fill = 18/60.6 = 0.297 or ~ 30 pence per fill.

How much for radio controlled airplanes or helicopters?
I am wanting to start a new hobby. About how much would it cost to get all the stuff that I would need to own and operate my own radio controlled gas or nitro powered airplane? Also would like to know the same information about gas or nitro powered helicopters and cars.
My family and I got into nitro cars July of last year. I wanted a car that was vary dependable but yet wouldn't brake the bank. I went with 2, 1/10 scale buggy's for my children and an 1/8 scale buggy for my self. The 1/10 scale buggy are great beginner cars and the 1/8 is more advanced for racing. The links I've are the Buggy's I've got and there reviews from R/C Universe

Does anyone know about any after market kits for Tamiya model# 48202?
Hello,
Do any of you tank modelers out there know of any after market parts for, Tamiya's 1/35Th scale German Tiger 1 kit #48202 ? This is the radio controlled version of Tamiya's 1/35Th scale Tiger 1 kit# 35216 static display model. Surely there are companies that manufacture," detail kits ", for the popular 1/35Th scale tank kits.Tamiya alone has been producing 1/35Th scale tank model kits for as long as I can remember, and now there are several other companies producing 1/35Th scale model tank kits.
try maplins or CEF (city electrical factors - these are more component based than model but might have what you need if its for the remote control side of things)
