Electric RC Cars - A Growing Demand

Electric RC cars are surpassing the regular remote control cars in demand because of so many reasons. Here are some of them:

1.) Electric RC cars are easy to own and maintain. The price ranges of these cars is quite wide. You can buy a cheap, low end budget RC car or the more luxurious and fully loaded cars.

2.) Since these cars do not run on fuel, they are energy-efficient. They are powered by electric batteries that are assembled into battery packs. Additionally, they emit no fumes or accumulate residue. This makes it easier to clean as well.

3.) These electric RC cars are not as noisy as the gas powered RC cars. You can race them around your house or neighborhood, and not get complaints from anyone.

4.) You have less wear and tear on the car and its parts since it is not fuel powered.

There are two basic choices when buying one of these beauties. You can get a ready-to-run kit, which is a fully assembled electric RC car. The other option is to buy a build-it-yourself kit. If you get yourself one of these, you have to make sure all the parts are included like the motor, radio, servo, receiver, and an electronic speed control.

The accessories can be bought at a later date when you have decided the look you want to have for your car.

The best places to get your electric RC car would be found on the internet. But just like all other internet transactions, it would be advisable to deal with a reputable company. Ask around from people in the know which website is most reliable. Aside from the convenience of buying online, you could actually find a better deal on the internet.

Before you make your purchase, you will have to decide if you want an off road car or not. Select a good brand for your first car because this is not the time to experiment with brands yet. That time will come when you have become a full blown enthusiast or hobbyist.

After you have made your purchase and the unit has been delivered to you, you must break in your electric RC car properly. The most recommended break in process would be to run your car standstill with just the motor and without its wheels for about 5 minutes. Then you are ready to go.

The electric RC car is a lot of fun, user friendly and convenient, especially compared to the gas powered RC car. It may not go as fast as the nitro powered remote control car because it runs on electric battery packs.

However, if you are a good driver on the road in a normal motor car, then chances are you will find ways to drive your RC car pretty fast.

Join the fan club of electric RC cars in your area. Time will surely fly because you'll be having so much fun. Before you know it, you've become addicted. Enjoy!

Make an Easy No-Pattern Apron

Here's a simple and useful project -- a simple, easy apron. You'll use just one yard of fabric cut into four pieces -- actually, you don't even have Nintendo "cut" the fabric, you can just tear the fabric into the proper sized strips! Fabric choices would be any broadcloth or patterned cotton -- something easy, cheap, and WASHABLE (it is an apron, after all!)

Begin with a piece of fabric 1 yard long by whatever length it comes in -- most probably 44 inches. We'll use the selvedge sides as the sides of the apron -- that way we don't have to finish the seams!

Next, cut a strip 2 inches by 44 inches -- the width of the fabric. That was easy enough -- so do it again. Now, cut a last strip 11 inches by 44 inches.

The results are 4 pieces of fabric -- two pieces 2 inches by 44 inches, one piece 11 inches by 44 inches, and one piece 21 inches by 44 inches. We'll make a drawstring from the two 2 inch pieces, a large pocket with the 11 inch piece, and the body of the apron with the 21 inch piece. (Note: You can follow step-by-step photo directions at the link in the resource box.)

First, we'll make a casing for the drawstring. On the 21 inch piece, fold over and press down about 1/4 inch from the top of the apron towards the wrong-side. Next, fold another 2 inches at this folded edge, again towards the wrong side. Sew a straight stitch along the bottom of this fold. Do not sew the edges -- this is where we'll insert the drawstring!

Now we'll do the pocket portion. Match the 11 inch piece to the bottom of the 21 inch piece -- match right sides together. Sew a straight stitch along the bottom of the piece. Turn rightside out, match the sides of the pieces and sew a straight stitch along the sides. You now have a 44 inch wide pocket along the bottom of the apron -- you may want to sew some straight stitches up this wide pocket to divide it into sections.

Almost done -- join the edges of the two 2 by 44 pieces and sew together -- making a single piece 2 inches by about 88 inches. Fold in half along this 88 inch width (right side together) and sew a seam along the edge to make a long tube. Turn the tube rightside out. Now, tuck in the raw edges on each end of the tube; sew the edges closed. Insert the tube into the casing at the top of the aprong -- and you're done!

A 21 inch deep apron easily reaches from the waist to below the knees -- but you can make it deeper if you wish. Just begin with a fabric piece longer than one yard.
