Top 5 RC Car Accessories
by: Greg Root
RC cars are one of the hottest hobbies going but to keep your vehicle in top condition you need to have a stock of standard equipment to maintain your car. There are also great RC car accessories that can add to the experience and get you up and running more easily.
You don?t want to be left on the sidelines because you can?t get your vehicle started or perform a quick maintenance on the spot. Here are the top five accessories every RC enthusiast should check out?
Starter Boxes
Need help starting your engines? Starter boxes can give you the boost needed to break in your new RC vehicle or just make the starting process easier.
The starter box will eliminate the need to pull-start your RC nitro car. Some car models are more difficult than others to pull start and having a starter box removes the problem and gets your vehicle going in no time.
RC Tools
Specialized tools help you keep your vehicle in top form. Some of the recommended additions to your standard tool box are:
Magnetic Balancer: reduce wear and tear on your RC vehicle by ensuring that rotating parts are properly balanced. Ideal for balancing new tires before hitting the road.
Gear Puller: avoid stripping the set screws by using a gear puller.
Temperature Gauge: test the temperature while tuning your engine without risking a burn.
Tool Pouch: keep all your tools handy and organized to make pit stops and tuning an easier task.
Glow Plug Wrench: makes the necessary task of changing glow plugs easier and quicker.
Glow Plugs
You will definitely need spare glow plugs on hand otherwise you may have to cut your driving time short if your glow plugs fail. Even new plugs can be faulty so having a small kit that includes a glow plug igniter, charger, spare glow plugs and a glow plug wrench is a good idea so that you can make a change on the course instead of ending the fun.
Fuel
If you?re going to drive a nitro car you?re going to need fuel. The fuel used for RC nitro cars is specially designed for optimum performance. Using the fuel recommended in your owner?s manual will provide your vehicle with exactly the right combination of synthetic and castor oils.
To make fueling easier you can select a fuel filler bottle that fits your needs. Several sizes are available and they are equipped with long, angled tips to speed up the refueling process and prevent spills.
Always keep your fuel tightly capped since moisture will quickly be absorbed from the air and ruin the fuel. You might also consider including a fuel cleaner and rags in your stash to clean up any spills and drips.
Air Filter Oil
Treating your nitro car?s air filter with special air filter oil will improve the ability of the filter to keep out dust and dirt while also extending the life of your car?s engine. Over or under oiling the filter will affect the performance and possibly damage the engine. Only use the oil specified for your type of filter since using the wrong oil can disintegrate the filter.
Be sure to let your oiled air filter dry for up to half an hour before installing it to avoid the excess oil from choking the system. Carry pre-oiled filters for changes rather than using a recently oiled filter or dry filter.
These are a few of the recommend RC car accessories you should be sure to keep with you when racing or just playing around with your RC vehicle. You will find many more products that are designed to help you fix or add on to your vehicle by shopping online or at your local hobby shop.

Finding Cheap Auto Parts
Finding Cheap Auto Parts
by: John Rivers
Running a car can be an expensive business these days, especially with the continually rising cost of petrol/gas. The last thing that most car owners need is the added expense of replacing worn out parts. The majority of people rely on their local auto shop to find the parts, and then fit them. There is a far cheaper way, and that is to source your own parts from an auto salvage yard.
Auto salvage yards, as their name suggests, specialise in salvaging autos, or more specifically auto parts. The way that they work is simple; they take junk cars and strip them down, keeping any parts that are still in working order. These parts are then sold to anyone who wants to buy them at a much lower price than a new part would be. You could find the part that you are looking for, and save yourself a lot of money. Of course, it would be ideal if you could fit the part on your car yourself, but just buying the part...

Tactical Driving Tips
Tactical Driving Tips
by: Joseph Garrio
The winter and driving shopping season is right around the corner.
We need to remember that in the winter, with snow and freezing
conditions, our driving tactics need to change. Accidents will
occur on the snow and ice that wouldn't on dry pavement. This
article will cover the important things to remember and how to
drive safely.
The most important thing that everyone needs to remember is
that you cannot stop as fast on icy or snow covered pavement.
You need to drive slower which will give you more time to slow
down. When you need to come to a stop anywhere give
yourself more time by starting to slow down earlier than usual.
When driving behind other vehicles make sure that you leave a
bigger distance between you and the vehicle in front. This way
you will have more time to slow down and also react to
unexpected stops.
Slow down everywhere...
