Buying Guide Questions

How can you Properly maintain your RC Lamborghini?

It can’t be denied that RC Lamborghinis are more on-road RC cars than other models. This means that they can only be driven on smooth surfaces, mostly indoors. However, although they are not for rugged driving as much as off-road RC cars or most RC 4 wheel drives, they still require proper care and maintenance. And with an RC car that is as swanky as a Lamborghini, you will want to keep it in tip top shape for as long as you can. You would not want to damage such a beautifully made RC car, would you?

How should you use the batteries?

Most, if not all, RC Lamborghinis are battery powered, usually requiring to triple-A batteries. Be sure to get the right kind of batteries that are also still in good working order. A lot of RC Lamborghinis allows rechargeable batteries too so you can get those and save yourself a few dollars. You can get a pack of good quality rechargeable triple A batteries online.

Read the instructions

Usually, reading the user manual is the last resort for many. But, if you want to avoid any unfortunate mishaps, read the instructions first before you drive your RC Lamborghini. It might be dull and boring but it really does pay to be informed. Some RC cars have a little bit more complicated controls or may require some setting up before you can drive them. You will be saving yourself a world of trouble if you just read up on the basic instructions.

Hands on the controller, eyes on the RC car

What you do not want to happen is to lose control over your RC Lamborghini. Although most RC Lamborghini models are not as fast as other hobby grade RC vehicles or RC drift cars, they can still go quite fast. Fast enough to cause injury, at least. Make sure you keep your hands on the controller at all times and never lose sight of your RC car. This way, if an obstacle (say, a family member or a friend) comes your way, you can easily swerve and avoid a crash. You also avoid damaging your RC Lamborghini this way. As durable as these RC cars can be, they can only withstand full-on collisions so many times.

How do you Clean your RC Lamborghini?

A lot of people might not enjoy this part. They might not even know how to clean their RC vehicles properly. However, whether you like it or not, you need to regularly clean your RC Lamborghini. This is so you will be able to drive it at full efficiency. You would also be able to check up on the overall status of your RC car with regular cleaning. Perhaps a part is missing or a screw was loosened somehow. By cleaning your RC car properly, you can spot any minor (or major) problems and address them before they cause irreparable damage. More than that, by taking care of your RC Lamborghini, you would be saving yourself quite a lot of money you would have otherwise had to spend on repairs. With all that being said, here is a quick guide on how to properly clean your RC Lamborghini.

1. Know your RC Lamborghini

Whip out the user manual and get to know the nitty gritty details of your RC vehicle. Learn which parts can be removed and how. Understand how the RC car operates. Read about what you should and should not do when you disassemble it for cleaning.

2. Gather all the necessary cleaning materials

Typically, you are going to need these tools to help you clean your RC Lamborghini. You will need soap, water, compressed air, toothbrush, washcloth, motor cleaner spray, and RC car lubricant.

3. Carefully take apart the RC car

To make clean up easier, you need to disassemble your RC car properly. Separate each part slowly and categorize them appropriately. Plastic parts (like the body shell) should not be mixed with the engine and other electronic parts. The wheels too should be removed individually. In order to avoid misplacing small parts like screws and bolts, keep them in a container in a separate area. It is good to take notes which part goes where and which screw needs to be where. You can even take photos of your RC car and mark small parts with a temporary marker. Make sure to keep electronic pieces as far away from your washing area as possible. You might accidentally damage them while you are cleaning.

4. Start with the wheels

It is generally a good idea to begin with the wheels. This is the RC car part that is the most prone to get dirty. Obviously, the wheels are nearly as important as the engines since they are the ones facilitating actual movement and traction. Making sure each of the four wheels of your RC car are clean as a whistle is very important.

a. Warm Water

Warm water is recommended for cleaning the wheels since it can remove dirt faster. Not scalding water, mind you. Just slightly warm, a little bit above room temperature.

b. Soap and Toothbrush

Prepare your soap and toothbrush for this step. Wash each wheel one at a time so you can remove any dirt or debris stuck on the ridges of your wheel. Give the wheel a nice washing first, gently running your hand to physically wash off the grime that accumulated on the wheel. Then start rubbing soap all over the wheel. Once it is fully covered, rinse the wheel with warm water.

 c. Brush, Wash, Dry

After that, take your toothbrush and, with the water still running, start brushing the wheel gently and surely. In this phase, you will be focused on the remaining grime and dirt that’s hard to get. Do not be too rough with the brush though. Some stains might be very persistent and they might seriously test your patience, but stay calm anyway. Your goal is to clean the wheel until it is as spotless as it can be. You do not want to accidentally damage the rubber wheels. Do not forget to pay attention to the inside of the rims as well. A small pebble or a dust bunny could have lodged itself in between the rims so look out for those. Repeat the process with each wheel and let them dry either manually (with a washcloth) or naturally.

6. Cleaning the plastic exterior parts

Next, you will need to clean the plastic parts of the RC car, namely the body shell or lid. Considering how highly detailed RC Lamborghinis are designed, you will need to take extra care in this step.

a. Be gentle

The important thing to remember is to not be too rough or harsh in scrubbing since you might scratch and damage the glossy finish of your RC Lamborghini. Wouldn’t want that to happen to your precious RC car, right? Use a mixture of soap and water to clean the dirt and debris on the body shell. Use your fingers to pry and rub any hard to remove sticky grit. Make sure to do an extensive wash on the nooks and crannies of your RC car. After you are sure the plastic parts of your RC Lamborghini are spotless, dry them with a washcloth. Be careful to inspect the body shell thoroughly while you are at it. Perhaps a layer of grime had covered a scratch or damage of some kind.

7. Cleaning the motor

Undoubtedly the most important part of the RC car, the motor needs the utmost care when you clean it. It might seem daunting at first but, with proper diligence and patience, you will find that cleaning an RC motor is not that difficult after all. Take your motor cleaner spray and apply it into the holes of the electric RC motor. Make sure to give it a proper rinsing after each spray. The motor cleaner solution will cleanse the motor from the inside, eliminating dust and dirt that somehow found its way inside the motor. Reapply the solution at least three times to be absolutely sure that the motor is cleaned. Then dry the motor before you apply a little RC Lubricant on key areas.

8. Put it all back together

Finally, after making sure that each part is completely dried, you’re going to need to reassemble your RC car. If you’re not sure that your car is moist free, give it around four to five hours. When you’re reassembling your RC Lamborghini, make sure that you’re putting each part in their proper place. Use the specific screws and bolts for each part. Consult your notes if you get confused. Voila! Your RC car is as good as new! Regular maintenance can really prolong your RC car’s lifespan. Although you do not need to clean it as extensively every time you drive it, veterans do advise to do complete maintenance after prolonged use. Your RC car will keep performing to its maximum level if you take enough care of it. A little elbow grease goes a long way.
