Product Description
When it comes to scale-size motorsport thrills, few hobbies can match the untethered thrills of R/C cars. Whether screaming across the asphalt or bounding over a dirt course, R/C cars offer enthusiasts an ever-increasing level of power, detail, and sophistication. In this volume for veteran and newbie R/C enthusiasts alike, ace hobby writer Robert Schleicher offers a fully 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 also 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 information on clubs, publications, and suppliers.

R/C Car Bible July 22, 2008 Angel Velasquez (Venezuela) I read part of the book and I consider that is a good help for those people begining in this wonderful world.
EXCELLENT intro to rc cars/trucks February 28, 2008 Leslie Gomez 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
this is the ideal book for the "newbie" to the remote controlled car/truck world. it packs everything you need to know about tuning, building, and racing into a really thorough (yet conveniently concise) reference and introductory RC book
