Choose the Right Radio Frequency
Thursday February 16, 2006
You have to have separate frequencies for two RC cars to run together. I know this from painful experience. The short story: I was eager to show off my new customized RC to a friend. We were going to have a little race. Before I could even get my hands on the controls for a few practice laps, my newly painted car shot towards a wall at full throttle. What happened? I looked over at my friend who was tuning up his motor on his RC and I realized that we must have been using the same frequency. When he used his controller to test his motor it took control of my RC as well. Lesson learned: check your frequencies.

I had an RC car as a child in the 80’s. One day, with the car turned off sitting at the end of a hall, I began using an AC power drill in my room. Much to my surprise – the car took off down the hall. It took a while to figure out the drill was causing it – but definitely opened up a young child’s mind to radio frequency interference.
My Traxxas Bandit accelerate when i turn and is impossible to control.I Already Try Another Quartz but same thing…
i got an rc 1/6 scale car at a yard sale with no remote so i tried every 49 mhz remote i have and they still dont work i tried the battries and every thing i could but all i can think of is buying the real remote from another car what do i do?
