Upgrade

By , About.com Guide

Definition: To step up or improve either the performance or parts is to upgrade your RC vehicle. It is usually only possible to upgrade hobby-grade RC vehicles. Installing a better tire, motor, or body are common upgrades. Some RC vehicles come with upgrade kits that include specific parts for that model of RC to upgrade its performance or change its appearance.
Examples:
Installing a faster, more powerful motor is a typical upgrade for professional RC race cars.
