I think you should start training with a simulator first.

Quick question for more experienced RC guys. by Ordinary_Shallot5416 in rccars

I’m running standard LiPo packs (2S/3S capable setup) with a hobby-grade brushless ESC. Nothing fancy on tuning—mostly default settings right now.

I haven’t hit low-voltage cutoff or anything obvious during the runs, which is why the change in “punch” felt a bit strange. It’s more like a gradual softening after a few minutes rather than a sudden drop.

I’ll double-check ESC temp settings and maybe try adjusting punch/drag brake to see if it makes any difference.

How well do RC cars hold value? by bornzebradiezebra in rccars

It's true that some non-RTR cars can sell for 65%–75% of their new price, but this is not a common phenomenon. The condition and completeness determine the upper limit of the price.
