How to Design Gasoline-Powered RC Cars

My advice to you is to buy one.

Then if you still want to "design" one, you'll have a pattern to copy.

It takes people years to become proficient designers. Perhaps you should consider a course in mechanical design, unless that's why you are asking the question.

Do you intend to design the radio controls and actuators, as well? If yes, then you'll need a coulpe of years of electrical design courses, as well.

Good luck.

dude i am studying Electronics engineering bachelors degree. so kindly provide me the references abt the fuel powered RC cars Thnk u

Just one more word before I go. Communication is important, especially if you want people to do things for you.

I am not a dude. Contracting words so that you don't have to put forth as much effort when typing does not enhance your ability to communicate, it just makes you look lazy.

Good luck with your homework project.

• Check-out the monthly magazines on this topic at better newsagents.
• Check-out local radio-controlled vehicle clubs (Cars? Aeromoplanes? Boats?) locally.
• Check-out specilaised model shops locally. Yellow Pages telephone directory?

From #3 I think he expected lynlynch to be impressed that he is studying BSEE.

Kind of an interesting approach, the student looking down upon the people he is asking for help.

hello friends I am not thinking down about the people with whom i am asking help. I also use the forum from my mobile browser. Thats why i posted like that from the guest account. Kindly apologize my if i had hurt someone. Kindly help me friends its not about the homework. I had an interest in designing RC cars. Thank you friends. Expecting more from you guys....... ALL Izzzzzzzz WELL

I have a friend who is similarly inclined, he has been complaining for a while that you can't find a basic kit anymore, the RC hobbiests seem to have moved to 'build it yourself from the ground up' or 'buy it ready to drive' with not much in the middle.

If you want the scoop on serious RC Car design and fabrication you would be well advised to go to the RC geeks directly. Check local hobby shops, search online for plans and go hang out at the track and talk to the guys out there. Otherwise I say buy one ready to go and modify it.

Good Luck

Miniature linear actuators for steering, throttle, clutch, and brakes. And gear shifting, if really fancy. Hobby shops dealing with robotics should be a prime source.

Are these RC cars supposed to carry any pay load?.

As others have said there are plenty of resources available for building RC vehicles using readily-available RC components (or building your own electronic and mechanical parts), in fact there is a large market for parts to either customise existing kits or build one from scratch.

A google search of "RC car" and "RC car parts" produced over 14 million hits and had plenty of good hint and supply sites in the first page of results alone.

I would advise using ready-made radio transmitter and reciever hardware because the gear is better and cheaper than virtually anything someone can make out of parts (unless you want to build it for the fun and learning experience).

Dear jack, I would like to have fun with my friends by designing this. I am electronic engg, students, Most of frnds were Mechanical Engg, Students. So we wanna do a fun design. So plan to do this. Thank you for u post.
