HISTORY OF RC CARS

To give a brief overview of the history of racing RC cars has started from the beginning of the last century. By the organization in the 1920's that have been running the show for the race car clockwork (played toy cars). In 1936 the Model Car Racing Association was formed in England and filled rubber automobile power source like clockwork. And showed that a 4WD car rubber (band) can accelerate the speed to 40 mph in less than 3 seconds, the car's weight is usually 3 pounds, half darimobil rubber power. The cars will move and go straight to the finish line.In recent years in America, miniature gasoline engines being put into a car, but a greater need for control is required. Circuits with circular construction cable (tether) built and at speeds up to 60mph in 1940. Kit American cars tend to be manufactured by companies such as Dooling Bros. and Ohlsson & Rice.

Meanwhile, in England, it seems in this case demonstrated reliability over the engineering skills of modelers and building cars. Currently the car from the time of the hunted and used for penyukanya collectables (collectors)

 
The emergence of the desire to race with multiple cars, coupled with the emergence of small engines, from 1 to 2.5cc, resulting Trek Rail and Rail Cars. The track consists of one part of the rail and the cars will be sitting on it, one per rail car. Several cars from this period is a car racing arguably, the most elegant car models ever produced. Tether car racing continues to this day and they are the fastest of all car models.
Of rail cars with internal combustion engines come in cars with electric power. Controlling vehicles with radio control may exist in the mid-1950s but it was not complete, a command is sent to the vehicle only allows only to turn around completely in one direction or another alias forwards and backwards. With the radio unit in the mid-60s available, capable of providing proportional control, precise steering input and Traffic precise speed control. Finally, after nearly a half-century model car enthusiast's dream come true with a fellow race car model ..

RC car racing began in the United States in the late 1960s. For exact kapannya remains unclear. What is known is that in the 1968 ROAR National Championships held in the United States. Although the first race meeting was held in England in 1971, it was another year before the BRCA formed. The BRCA use ROAR rule book as a guide. In the U.S. there is the proliferation of cars, in the year 1969/70 car kit (assembled) are available. Several manufacturers from other parts of the world model, Dinamyc for example, comes from slot cars, and some are new to the hobby. The number of cars available may give an idea of ​​the excitement generated this new sport. Kit comes off like Dynamic, Delta, Citizenship, Heathkit, Ra-Car, Associated, Kyosho, Mardave, PB, Thorp and famous named Special Aluminum Reynolds.

The design of the car varies. Some are quite complicated and it is connected to the gearbox operational and has basic suspension. Other simple chassis with engine configuration Sidewinder move directly connected to the gear on the rear axle or on one of the rear wheels. Almost all have centrifugal clutches, it is to be a necessity but Dinamyc ROAR produce a car that has a torque converter with epicyclic gears operated by a lever, to give encouragement. Over time, it may be that the engine produces more power, but more likely at the cost of manufacture, chassis design more towards Flat / Sidewinder (flat). In the mid-1970s flat model to the highest design and used until 1980.

In the mid to late 1970's chassis design consisting of glass fiber, the main chassis connected to a pod (aluminum) for the paired engine and rear axle. A section on the chassis radiodipasangkan on the block, as well as 125cc fuel tank. Sections radio can be tightly fitted to the chassis or secured with rubber grommets with screws for modikasi or adjustments.Gradual refinement begins with the ball bearings, brake discs, plastic fuel tank, rear axle and exhaust that can be set. The use of flywheel / clutch with smaller units and PTFE. The evolution of this type of chassis was discontinued in 1980 with the first introduction of the new car's suspension.
