RC Vehicles Word of the Day: Toe Angle

From Michael James, About.com GuideJanuary 31, 2010

Do you have crooked toes that angle out to the left or right? You probably walk just fine that way. But with RC vehicles, toe angle can affect how the RC drives. A little toe-in can provide stability while a little toe-out may provide more responsive steering on the curves. As with all things, you don't want to overdo either toe angle.

And this end our January month of daily RC terms. There's still more to learn though so visit the Radio Controlled Vehicles Glossary.

Hi, Michael,
I saw the new Xmodsrc models, including the 2010 Mustang. I wanted to get one for my nephew (not yet 10 years old) because the box said you could modify and add to them and all that. He loves to tinker, and I want to get him something he can add to and work on.
Can you tell me if there’s a few or a lot of mods you can do on these rc’s? I saw some parts on ebay; the caption said “for xmods rc car”. Are there a lot of generic parts that will fit on most models of their cars?

Thanks for your time,
Brian

If you buy one of the XMODS that have recently came called the “Street Series” then you will want to get the add-on parts that are for the Evolution series that series of part will also fit the street series.
