To set up a slipper clutch

Rc trucks have seen much fine tuning over the past few years and improved in performance benchmarks. More so, the level of competing has tremendously improved. Today, rc vehicles are high powered to face extreme driving conditions including handling extreme speed and power of motor. A popular way to make the truck handle extreme driving conditions is to make use of a slipper clutch. The slipper controls operations for off-road driving in buggies and trucks. The prime functions of slipper clutch in rc trucks are to protect drive terrain parts from malfunctioning and control spinning of the wheel.  Slipper clutch provides a cushion of protection against shock to parts of rc vehicles. Wheel spinning causes large dents to a car’s performance. Spinning wheels doesn’t make the truck to move as long as no gripping is available.

Power from dual battery

Another way to improve the power of rc vehicles is to use more batteries. You can use dual batteries instead of one on the battery powered rc truck model. It is not that straight forward using two batteries. You need to know the detailed trick before actualizing it. The first step is making sure the rc vehicle model is capable to handle and compatible with the two batteries. This does not only entail physical compatibility but electronic one as well. The rc vehicle should be able to carry and accommodate the two batteries. Allocations of slots for proper carrying of the batteries need to be done right. Many high performing rc trucks being manufactured today are designed with the objective in mind.

Most batteries for use are quite heavy weight and size. Thus, make sure addition of extra battery doesn’t exceed the safe weight limit of the rc truck model. Electrical compatibility is another factor to consider. Physical compatibility doesn’t guarantee absolute compatibility with dual batteries.

Electrical specifications including current and voltage of the batteries should be compatible with the allowed limits and requirement s of the truck model.  One easily checks this by studying specifications guide and rc model and checking the current limit and maximum voltageelectronics of trucks models can handle. Then physically mount the batteries and make connections with the electronics of the model. Physical mounting is simple with well defined mounting structures for the dual batteries for electrical trucks. Next make electrical contacts. This can be done in various ways depending on whether one wants to make a series of parallel or series connection. A series connection is made simple using a y adaptor. This is a plugging attachment enabling one to makes series electrical contacts instantly. Soldering contacts is a brute way of making the contacts. Soldering provides advantage of freedom on how to make the contacts and how you want it placed.

Jazzing up rc model with stickers

Every hobbyist wishes to make a statement on the track through their rc trucks models. This does not only mean a strong and performing model but one that also makes a statement for itself from looks. Adding some extra such stickers gives rc trucks a finishing touch.
