Hot Air Balloon Stickers Can you help me remeber the name to this?
I'm thirteen in almost a week, I remember when I was younger listening to a tape recording all the time, it was a story, a guy telling it. I think it was about elephants, mentioned something to do with drinking tea, and im pretty sure that the sticker on the tape was yellow, and had the elephants in hot air balloons?
Anybody might know what it is so I can watch it on youtube? xx
Could be Babar the Elephant... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7JLDytgnIQo

RC Cars - "Which One do i Get "
The difference between a toy rc car and a hobby grade rc car is a universe away in terms of quality, control and basic componants. With a toy rc car you can not fine tune the streering controls and the brakes, also it will most likley veer off and have limited control and the car will be jerking around and not so smooth. When you crash a toy shop radio control car and trust me at some point you will, you will have no choice but to bin it like most people end up doing... Why ?
well you can't get spare parts for toy grade RC s as these are normally cheap products made in china and parts are just not availible.
A true rc car will have parts availible and can be upgraded or modified and the quality will be much better, the response will also be much more accurate so you can judge taking corners or braking times.
The cost for a hobby rc car is more money but in the long run its well worth the investment as the thrills and excitement of a fast screaming radio control car racing around a track or park is priceless and total fun every time. Rc cars come in various sizes and range from 1/28th scale being classed as a mini rc to a massive 1/8th scale like the "acme Warrior rc buggy and the Werewolf rc car. These are awesome in size and are loaded with features and great spec, and less than a few hundred pounds you will have a quality piece of kit and a top speed of 60 km/h and a quality controller.
1/10th scale radio controlled cars are most common and most come fully built and ready to run out the box or if you have time there are also self build rc car kits where you build them up in stages , thus learning about how they work and all the parts that make up a rc car.
Electronic speed controls. The (ESC) is a device on the electronics that transmits a signal from the radio controller to the rc car telling it to move faster or slower also turns and some have the capability to have a reverse, although nitro and petrol rc cars do not have as standard. Most rc cars come with pre painted bodyshells and stickers to apply but you can get blank clear bodyshells so you can paint or spray up your own colours or designs, rc trucks are common to have these and off rd rc buggys. It is always a good idea to have ventilation and most cut a hole though the front windscreen and you can cut the clear windows with a craft knife so they look half open -thus getting plenty of air flow to keep the engine cool as when to hot the body shell can melt under the heat.
With a RC model it is worth to buy the best with the money you have to get a good quality 2 channel controller and basic features like oil-filled shocks, full suspension, ESC and 2 speed gearbox and maybe a steering servo, expect to pay around £150 -250 for a good hobby grade model and you can always add upgrades and chrome exhausts, wheels and much more at a later date.
Power options
There are three powered types of rc cars - Electric - Nitro - Petrol
Electric rc cars are common as they are very easy to use with hardly any maintainence needed. Now days electric rc cars are pretty quiet and with brushless motors now being used more and more, a brushless car can hit 60 mph and they can run much longer without getting too hot.
The batteries come in a few options and a 1800amh is a good load and a spare is also needed so you can keep going, and a good tip is to use rechargable batteries on the controller as they can get costly if using throw aways.
Nitro is a fuel burning power and with a nitro rc car there is a little more work involved as nitro fuel is messy and highly flammeable and when buying a new nitro car the engine has to be broken in slowly and this involves slowly running the car on a level ground for 5 -7 short runs without using full throttle at any time or this will damage the engine and limit the preformance.
Always use rechargable batteries as then you will always know you have fresh batteries as this is important because if they run low while driving the nitro car, you will lose control if they go under 8.5 V and just hope its not heading for a lake or busy road and also if you are going to race or go to park for day its typical the batteries will go dead as your having fun. Electric RC s do not like water and its very easy to go though a puddle and fry the ESC or the electric pack, to prevent this i use a balloon and pull over the electric box and tape all wires and open ends up and silocone to seal gaps up. Alway check all screws are tight as these work loose and if lost while running then the chance of finding is slim and the RC will be shelved until you order the new parts.
