Make a Remote Control Car Toy Spin Like a Tornado
Template:StubIn this wikiHow we show you how to make your remote control car spin.Generally, there are two types of remote controls: infrared (IR), and radio frequency (RF). Infrared remote controls work by sending pulses of infrared light to a device, while RF remote controls use radio waves in much the same way. Pragmatically, the biggest difference between the two is range. IR remote controls require a clear line of sight to the receiving device and their range maxes out at about 30 feet (9.14 meters). RF remote controls can go through walls and around corners, with a range of roughly 100 feet (30.48 meters).
Steps
- Get a remote control (R/C) car that has a flat back. You will not be able to balance your car on its back if it has a curved rear.
- Pop the front of your R/C car face up in such a way that it is balanced on the back, standing up straight.
- Push up and hold the accelerating joystick of the R/C car.
- Turn the other joystick to the right or left according to which way you want to spin.
Tips
- Practice controlling the spin; see how long you can spin before losing control of the car.
- You can balance your car manually at first and then learn to pop it onto the back, perhaps using an obstacle.
Warnings
- You can damage your remote control car with this maneuver.
- It can also damage the floor on carpet or any other soft material.
Things You'll Need
- R/C car with a straight back.
- The remote that comes with the R/C car.
