Life on Florida’s West Coast

Cool Site: RC Cars Tips and Tricks

I have a daughter turning five this month. My nephew is halfway into his sixth year of life. You can imagine that I am up to my elbows in all of the toys of today’s culture, most of them being electronic, requiring batteries, or somehow involving a computer. I don’t mind a bit, either. I am just as fascinated as the kids.

The whole family started buying remote control cars and planes for my nephew as soon as he was born. He has amassed quite an impressive collection. He does not come to our house as often as we go there, quite simply because my daughter is obsessed with her cousin’s RC car collection. He is a patient tutor, too, so my daughter knows more than I ever did about the ins and outs of this hobby.

A lot of people, especially adults, take the RC Car hobby very seriously. I found an entire blog dedicated to RC car tips and tricks and the whole thing is written in laymen’s terms, which is a good thing for me, because I am not as naturally inclined to dreaming up adequate fixes for the issues we often encounter.

I love the articles. There are often pictures, the tips are easy to comprehend and follow, and the tricks are sometimes clever to the point of making me say AHA out loud. Take this article on using first-aid-gauze as a pre-filter or this one about using a paperclip as a drive pin. Good, solid nuggets of info. It functions as a great introduction to RC cars for beginners

If you are a RC enthusiast, you really should check out this blog.
