Frequently Asked Questions

Which RC cars are suitable for beginners?▾

Entry-level models such as the Amewi Monster Truck or the Absima RC Crawler X 1:10 4WD are ideal because they are robust and offer a good balance between features and performance. They come ready-built from the factory and are ready to use immediately.

What do I need to get started with model building?▾

For model building you need a kit (e.g. from Tamiya), side cutters, sandpaper, model glue and good tweezers. For painted models you will also need brushes and acrylic paints.

Which drones and model aircraft are suitable for beginners?▾

Beginner-friendly models such as the Amewi drone with altitude hold or the Graupner electric glider are perfect for getting started. They are stable, easy to control and often equipped with a camera.

What batteries and charging technology do I need for RC models?▾

Most RC models use LiPo batteries. A suitable charger from Hobbywing or Carson with balancing function is essential. Make sure you use the correct voltage and the right connector type (e.g. T-connector or XT60).

Where can I find spare parts for my RC car?▾

In the RC spare parts category you will find tyres, body parts, motors, steering linkages and much more for brands such as Absima, RC4WD and Carson. This way you can repair or tune your model.

What is the difference between beginner and advanced models?▾

Beginner models are usually ready-built (RTF – Ready to Fly / Ready to Run), have less power and are more basic. Advanced models offer more speed, better components and often kit or upgrade options for experienced hobbyists.

How do I properly maintain and store my RC models?▾

Clean your model after each use with a soft brush or compressed air. Store it dry and dust-free. LiPo batteries should be stored at around 3.8 V cell voltage and in a cool place. Regularly check that screws and cables are tight.

Are RC models and model building suitable as a gift?▾

Yes, RC models and model kits are great gifts for children, teenagers and adults. They promote technical understanding, patience and creativity. For beginners, RTF models or simple kits from Amewi or Tamiya are suitable.
