How does an RC car work? Hobby Electronics Explained!

How does an RC car work? What bit is the ESC, and what is the receiver?

In this video, Aaron explains what every component in an RC car does, and how they do it - with help from Blitzy, the Blitzer Beetle.

youve gotten be one of the most clear, well spoken, non gatekeeping individuals i have ever had the pleasure of learning from. 10/10

Finally someone explaining RC stuff without all the condescending gate keeping attitude. I’m trying to learn RC planes and let’s just say it’s pretty difficult to ask questions and get straight, informative answers in that community.

I’ve learned enough to realize the tech is the same as RC cars. Just more channels and servos.

Thanks again!

[SanHydronoid]

Thank you so much.This has to be one of the best channels I've found that explains RC stuff. Once you have the basics down it looks quite simple

[seantomlinson]

Thank you so much. I just bought an RB10 and this is hugely helpful figuring out what everyone's talking about at the club.

the most clear explanation i need! good job sir

[devill]

Do a how to build your first rc car Pls?

[nwirc]

Great video sir.. lots of people will benefit from this.

[BobDobalena]

Very informative and concise, thank you sir.

Thanks I was looking for a video explaining how rc cars work very well explained.. thank you

[kennythemeat]

i just watched it because of the blitzer beetle. it was the firs rc car i ever had. with the old esc that worked with a servo. very fun to drive! :)

[tomdick]

the information about servo was very informative.

[maticsportsandGames]

Very well explained video, thank you I just subscribed, been looking for a good video on this topic👊💯 Thank you bro.

Shoutout from Sweden 🇸🇪 Love your videos going to build on my dream vision

[pazzy]

Well done, thank you man for all this good information, keep up the good work 👍🏻

[DeputyNordburg]

Thanks so much for this. I purchased my first RC car in 25 years and could not understand why my receiver had no battery input.

[iceman]

Love your video very informative. Simple to understand for me lol at my age💪😅.. Ty again will be watching your stuff very good🙏💪💪

Hi Aaron, thank you for taking the time to make this video, I’m learning every day. My question is a little outside your video subject but I’m an electronics idiot but I’m not a dumb guy, so I’m hoping to tap your expert opinion for some advice.
I’m trying to pull the rope on a lifejacket CO2 manual inflator (No, using the auto inflator is not an option) using either a servo or a solenoid with a button as the trigger on off. So, I’ve guessed the torque pull required on the rope is probably 3 to 5kg and this is a one-time use one time pull device I’m trying to build. I don’t even know if that is even possible to press a button once and get enough torque from a servo or solenoid to pull a rope? Would the servo keep spinning or would it stop after the button is released? Any advice or suggestions would be most greatly appreciated! Thank you so much!

Your attention to detail is outstanding! As a 3D modeler, I'm keen to explore the role of 3D-printed parts in achieving lifelike RC car customization

Nice video make more videos like this explanation.
