Turn your RC passion into a real engineering skillset with this hands-on builder's manual that shows you how to design, assemble, tune, and customize your own remote-control car from scratch.

Inside this guide, you'll learn how RC components actually work together, how to select the right motors, ESCs, servos, gears, chassis styles, batteries, wheels, and suspension systems, and how to make evidence-based upgrades for the style of performance you want - drifting, speed runs, drag racing, crawling, carpet tracks, or bashing.
What's Inside This Bookcomplete breakdown of every RC component (motors, ESCs, servos, gears, tires, chassis, batteries)
step-by-step illustrated build instructions from bare chassis to ready-to-run
beginner-friendly testing, soldering, wiring, and calibration tutorials
tuning tricks for speed runs, drifting, drag racing, carpet tracks & off-roading
upgrade paths that deliver real performance gains (not hype)
troubleshooting & maintenance checklists
performance data tracking and speed improvement strategies

tinkerers, modders, and makers who like hands-on engineering projects
RC racers who want faster top speed, better cornering & smarter tuning
parents & teens who want a STEM-focused building project they can build together
anyone who wants to understand RC technology instead of buying RTR forever
