The Mechanics Behind RC Cars: How Do They Work?

Maybe you dream of the Monte Carlo Grand Prix, but your budget keeps you close to home. You can still satisfy your need for speed with wholesale RC cars. Remote control cars are a fun way to connect with your inner gearhead and be part of a thriving community of fellow enthusiasts.  

You’ll quickly realize there’s a lot to know about your new hobby of racing wholesale remote control cars. For instance, how do they work? In this article, the experts at TVCMALL will give you the run-down on the mechanics behind RC cars.

 

The Transmitter is Command Central

Wholesale remote control cars, also known as radio-controlled cars, are simple enough that a child can use them, but the science behind them is more than child’s play. A combination of radio technology, circuit boards, and mechanical components work together to make an RC car speed away at the touch of a button. And that button where it all begins is connected to the transmitter.

The transmitter is in the device you use to control your RC car. When you operate the controls on your device, the transmitter sends radio signals to your remote control car. Each control sends a different radio frequency to the car. For example, the steering control sends a different frequency than the speed control. These radio frequencies are exactly matched between your controller and the car to avoid interference from other radio-controlled devices.

 

The Receiver Is the General in the Field

The receiver in wholesale RC cars consists of an antenna and circuit board. Together, the antenna and circuit board receive and decode the radio waves from the transmitter. These radio waves are essentially electrical pulses. The number of pulses tells the receiver how much to speed up or which way to turn.

 

Mechanical Components Follow Orders

The circuit board is connected to several components in the RC car.

● Motor: Wholesale remote control cars can have several motors to control movement. For example, one motor can move the wheels to the left or right, while another motor will move the wheels backward or forward. Each of these motors is connected to the circuit board. When the circuit board receives a “code” in the form of radio waves, it sends the code to the corresponding motor.

● Power Source: Of course, the motors require a power source to perform their actions. Wholesale RC cars can use rechargeable lithium batteries or standard dry-cell batteries. Still others use engines that run on fuel.

● Servo: The servo uses the electricity from the power source and converts it to energy that will move your RC car’s components. In most RC cars, the servo performs double duty by also operating the steering mechanism.

● Electric Speed Controller: Your RC car can travel in a wide range of speeds thanks to the electric speed controller, also known as the ESC. Think of the ESC as the throttle for your RC car.

Fun with Wholesale RC Cars Isn’t Rocket Science

Wholesale remote control cars run thanks to mechanical engineering know-how. The transmitter sends radio wave pulses to the receiver, which, in turn, translates those pulses into action. From there, the circuit board, power source, and other components act together to make your RC car move. All-in-all, RC cars are a great science lesson.

But having fun with RC cars is as simple as child’s play. Forget traveling to the Daytona 500 when you can THRIVE and have a blast with wholesale RC cars from TVCMALL.
